FoxTrot by Bill Amend for November 26, 2023

Turkey? What happened to all veggie all the time?

Well a good thing is you don’t have to worry about storing the leftovers.

What do you mean “before he was a teenager”? We’ve seen his baby photos. You and Roger referred to the day he switched to solid foods as “The night of a thousand jars” and were happy he wasn’t breastfeeding 24 hours a day anymore.

Peter doesn’t tolirate leftovers…

Apparently, Jason is getting served leftouts.

Today’s classic FoxTrot Sunday strip:

A likely story

Ah, for my high school days. Six foot tall, 165 pounds, and I could eat anything I wanted. Now I eat 5 ounces of something and gain 5 pounds.

It wouldn’t hurt to serve a little meat now and then.

I’m a teenager now and I have the same problem as Peter where I will go downstairs to eat a box of cookies and lose weight, and nobody cares ’cause everyone is salty about having the opposite problem.

Sigh. Holidays with the Fox family just isn’t fun when they are only Sunday strips.

the latest I’ve seen says you should only keep leftovers in the fridge for 4 days so Jason is just looking out for the families health by making sure they don’t last that long.

LOL!!!

If you want Thanksgiving leftovers at the Fox household, try serving tofu beet casserole

When my son left home, the grocery bill dropped by about 30% – that’s when we really realized how much teenage boys eat… With no children in the house now, we actually have leftovers we can enjoy – yay :o)

There never was a problem like that at my house when I was young! My mother would buy the biggest turkey possible and it would take months to finally waive au revoir to that humongous beast. At first, it was ok for sandwiches, but soon, after my mother would cook up mighty cauldrons to create vast quantities of turkey soup. She then froze them in used milk carton since plastic storage container were expensive back then. We would see turkey showing up in winter, spring and summer months . To this day, I only cook a turkey once a year for Thanksgiving, my thanksgiving for having it only once a year! BTW, I love ground turkey better than beef so I use it often, so go figure! ;-p

I still say Roger and Andy need to get Peter to a doctor. Even for a teenaged boy (in a comic strip mind you), that is too much.

Yes, yes, and Roger used to relish cold pizza for a Saturday morning breakfast before Peter blah blah blah. So many retreads it’s like a discount tire shop in here.

My younger brother was working as a skate guard (very cool), stock boy at Rinis, and going to school. Picked him up & went to McD’s. Big Mack, Quarter Pounder, large shake, and large fries. Don’t know where he put it.

I’ve not eaten meat for nearly 6 years, but even so I have the absolute fondest memories of being a kid and sinking my teeth into a leftover turkey sandwich. My mom and dad always made them with mayo and a sprinkle of salt and a little piece of lettuce. So I definitely got my sodium intake on those days LOL but it was such a special treat and one that is seared into my memory.

…and even then, it was a fairy tale…

Thank goodness for big box stores, cause they are also gonna need a Costco sized bale of toilet paper!

You actually mean ‘before Peter was born’…

My advise is too make three turkeys

I always feel sorry for those kids!
