Overboard by Chip Dunham for November 19, 2009

Shhh! not so loud

Is Louie under sedation?

(morning crew)

Hey Louie, listen up Pal! They’re calling you number!

Good Morning Crew!

Hi J P Steve!

Hmmm that’s odd, we Canucks had our turkey day over a month ago. We’ve all LOST the weight we gained, thus, we’ll be more fit for Christmas Party Season. hahaha

Mornin’ Crewmates. Have a wonderful day.

ahoy Crew sorry Allan Claus, only some of we Canucks have lost the weight we gained. would you be any relation to the “Pseudo Claus” person i once played in my University days? howdy Lonewolf & J P Steve

They’re talking turkey.

Good Morning Crew!

Speak for yourself, Allan! I was out at the gym tonight still trying to lose the turkey tummy I gained last month!

One man’s trash is another mouse’s treasure. Anticipation!

The waiting is the hardest part.

Good Morning Crew!

Louie gets a bird to himself.

Morning Crew!

They have dumpster on wooden sailing ship?

Man I hate see what pick up fees are for the truck comes for it.

yyyguy, I’m glad that our Thanksgiving is two months before Xmas… at least we have a chance to get rid of the accumulated weight of our gluttony before the next holiday rolls by… :)

MORNING CREW!

IT’S THANKSGIVING, THANKSGIVING! You jerks! The day we are supposed to be thankful to God for all our blessings throughout the year like the Pilgrims were. People are slowly but surely forgetting what it means. All they can think of is Christmas presents.

JP Steve - NO! I am related to Santa Claus, the guy from the North Pole (from Nov. 1 - Jan 4th, and London Canada Jan. 5th - Oct. 31 every year :D )

yyyguy, I too am tryin’ to lose the weight still, but we STILL Have about 10 days before “Christmas Party Season” starts - where everyone is invited to between 3 and 20 parties in December hahaha oh that makes me sad.

Mitstan - that is the exact reason, I think Obama should change the date of American Thanksgiving - so that Yank’s can work that little bit harder to get rid of the weight, and the earth can stop tilting our way, and return to normal temperatures … haha I kill me (or the American’s do).

And three (no, two) days until my Thanksgiving week vacation! Morning Group!

Hey MoPar Mitch - my thoughts exactly…

It just goes to show you, it is all a matter of perspective… one man’s garbage IS another mouse’s “treasure”!

Oh, and Carlos, just remember the mice love the grease and gunk! Remember Halloween?

Ahoy CREW!!! Top of the morning to everyone!!!

Morning Crew, My advice is to join in with Louie and Jonas and our pirate friends and enjoy the season upon us. Turkey and Xmas parties must be savoured. Worry about the weight on January 2. Shovelling snow is a great way to lose weight and all of we Cannucks know its just a matter of time before the first flake flies! Have a great day all!

Good Moorning Crew!

Some days there is more fighting here than in the strip. Can’t we all just get along?

Morning, CrewMATES!

Good morning Crew !

cheers !

Hey! That means I have a long weekend coming up! Now there’s something to be thankful for.

Shame on the crew for throwing out the carcass – gotta make a nice turkey soup stock first!

Prepare the plank me hearties! There’s a scourge among us!

Dberrymanal1- Lighten up…..

Holding onto the turkey carcass for a week? Ptomaine City!

Morning Crew. Good one Allan Claus. Of course, our Thanksgiving is one month earlier because winter comes a month earlier in Canada, and we are Thankful that God still ensures we get our crops in a shorter growing period.

CANADIAN FRIENDS! Since we can’t seem to conquer Iraq OR Afganistan, we will probably try to conquer YOU next! Awfully sorry, but I hope you understand. It’s about job security. All those troops need SOMETHING to do. Here’s the upside: we can celebrate YOUR thanksgiving AND ours also. Those mice will absolutely LOVE IT!

Hey Bikemaster, Don’t you know the Canadian credo is “make love not war!” Instead of conquering us wouldn’t it just be more fun to be like the guys on “Overboard” and play pirates and then share those two Thanksgiving dinners together? We’ll even through in crud for your American mice and some Nine Lives for your American cats. But, you can nix “job security”…the economy is as sucky up here as it is down there…hey…maybe try conquering the Far East…that’s where all our jobs have gone! Boy this has been a strange comment board today!

If those pirates stop the nice fighting between each other they will become notniceier. (A new word for Webster’s to consider.)

Wow, I normally read comics in the morning. What an interesting day’s worth of posts to go through. I think we should look at today’s Overboard and see that everyone has a different perspective. No one does things the “best” way, so there’s no point in trying to continue with pushing their own on others or brag about it. Everyone just gets used to how it’s done where they live (although I do find it interesting to know how others do things).

Personally, I’m happier trying to lose weight only once and I don’t eat as much during Christmas because my tight pants remind me to eat the way I do the rest of the year (mostly healthy and moderate).

p.s. Trebor39, I like your new word.

Bikemaster, remember Canada’s been holding on to Afghanistan for you – till you were ready to get back in the game.
