I am not thankful for our military. In ‘the great war’ (WWI) and ‘the war to make the world safe for democracy’ (WWII) America used war dogs. It was generally recognized that these loyal canine warriors were too dangerous to return to civilian life. Now, in the unending war in Afghanistan, war dogs are again an important part of our struggle. But this time they are recognized as too much of the overall and individual struggle to be sacrificed and methods have been developed to allow them to come back to civilian life with their human partners. Yet we still send the humans again and again for redeployment, even as many as five times. They come back to unbearable mental and moral burdens and kill themselves in record numbers. We thank them for their service and hand their survivor families a carefully folded flag. We treat our human military worse than dogs.
All these comics that glorify Thanksgiving dinner and hanging out with family always made me wonder what the big deal was. I realized that I have family and plentiful food all year round, and that makes me Thankful. P.S. I hate football!
on the list: eating an actual turkey on Thanksgiving (and I know there’s at least one strip from the past where Andy reassures somebody – Peter, I think – of this)
So does that mean if we have weapons that the Native Americans didn’t have America would be OK to kill everyone trying to come into our country illegally?

That kind of “famous” is usually spelled “notorious”. Just sayin’

seriously, alfalfa in a brine?

This is ridiculous. You could pickle alfalfa sprouts in like half an hour.

Alfalfa isn’t food, it’s what food eats.

Ahhh. You’re not out of the woods yet, Jason. Did they still have 10 dollar asparagus water at Whole Paycheck?

Nothing wrong with sprouts. But pickled? And why anything pickled in stuffing? Mom’s misspelling infamous again.

Andy’s the worst cook ever.

Probably the most serious defect in the culture of Native Americans was their little appreciation of the utility of restrictive immigration laws.

I don’t understand why she thinks the stuff she cooks is good, her entire family actively tells her how much they hate it every time.

Andy, you need an “in” in front of your “famous”.
