A national holiday where the whole focus is to eat a bird! A bird! Oh c'mon! Cut us some slack... Yeah?! How'd you like it if there was a zombie apocalypse, zombies took over and celebrated Thanksgiving by eating people! Well? You just gave me a great idea for a heartwarming Walking Dead Thanksgiving special.
We need a strip in which Moondog comes home from his trip to find Pilsner out back, pecking away at a dead pigeon behind the garbage cans.
“…This isn’t what it looks like.”
Re this week’s great controversy: I’ll always remember that “Family Circus” strip in which Billy’s prayers for God to watch over Daddy inspire the Big G to reach down His giant invisible hand and keep Daddy from getting plowed under by a red-light runner.
God doesn’t stop the bad driver, He just intervenes on behalf of this particular victim. The moral of the tale? If someone YOU loved has died, YOU didn’t pray hard enough. It’s all YOUR fault. God can’t be watching everything 24/7 you know, he’s busy assisting Tim Tebow (note to self: don’t forget to update this before posting).
