Here’s the classics update for the 24th:

We’ve been following a fun Pert story… are we about to meet proto-Pert from over 40 years before?

I bet Hipshot knows some fancy steps on the dance floor as well, he just never goes to barn dances. And this is some 4½ years before America was introduced to “The Fonz”.

I thought Lazy was a pain in the … , but Lance’s Aunt Stella may have just zoomed into the lead. What kind of person waits until the child just gets engaged to break the news that they were adopted? I suspect there’s more of a connection here than the college dean realizes.

(Actual) Pert seems to be thoroughly enjoying himself, even while picking up the tab for an expensive dinner party. Who’da thunk it? But some old habits are hard to get over.

Slim has every right to be afraid. That bird’s almost as big as he is.

That might be the turkey receiving the Presidential Pardon.

Looks like Slim’s got a swelled head in this drawing.

That bird is big enough that it’s probably a wild turkey, rather than just a regular turkey. I had a run in with a wild turkey a few years ago. They are vicious birds, capable of breaking human bones. I kid you not. Thankfully I managed to get out of the way in time to avoid learning that first hand.

Hooray for the Wallets remembering Thanksgiving just like we did in the olden days.

The annual Thanksgiving strip that might be repeated Thursday on Thanksgiving Day.

I love corned beef hash. Reuben sandwiches too.

What does the cow think about corned beef hash?

A Thanksgiving panel with two turkeys!

The very 1st Gasoline comic strip by Frank King was published on this date, November 24, 1918, 106 years ago!!! #comics #comicstrips #GasolineAlley

Go down to Chalky’s for the sliced turkey blue plate special.
