(un)Happy Thanksgiving!

click to enlarge I had a very nice Thanksgiving this year. It was the most fun and lowest stress Thanksgiving I've had in quite a long time; good food, wonderful company, and lots of lying around staying warm and being happy. Holidays can be a very stressful time for many people. Next week I'll go into my office and listen to my clients recount the pains of the dreaded day. If you're in a bad frame of mind, Thanksgiving brings back the memories of every bad thing that ever happened on Thanksgiving. You feel like you're right back there, stuck in a cycle you can't seem to fight. The weather, bitter and unyielding, does not help matters at all. I totally understand why people get depressed this time of year. If you're feeling down, look on the bright side: at least your family isn't dysfunctional and noncommunicative like the family in today's panel (I hope).

Conversation Between Mom and Dad, 1:06pm Thanksgiving Day:

Mom: You should not use a serrated knife to carve the turkey--it wrecks it!
Dad: You don't know what you're talking about! (hack slice shred)
Mom: (wringing hands) But you're shredding it!
Dad: What are you TALKING about? (shred fling hack)
Mom: (still wringing hands) It's all SHREDDED!
Dad: OK, give me the other knife! Jeezus Christ! (hack slice hack)
Mom: Ok, that's better.
Dad: You don't know what you're talking about....

It continues like this until the first glass of wine is consumed.

Hey--can you do a 'toon on kids and gender roles? Maybe a Christmas 'toon with the little boy getting a Barbie and the little girl getting a kid's tool belt (they both look disappointed). You could use the same family from the Thanksgiving 'toon (I'm sorry--they're fabulous--like to see more of them)

I had a delightful Thanskgiving and we did not even say what we were thankful for.
