She did that on purpose.

That kind of “famous” is usually spelled “notorious”. Just sayin’

1. Family 2. Friends 3. Military 4. Our schools 5. Firefighters 6. Police officers 7. Food 8. Water 9. A safe place to live 10. A safe community

seriously, alfalfa in a brine?

This is ridiculous. You could pickle alfalfa sprouts in like half an hour.

I would think that one of the things Jason would be thankful for is ‘wedgie proof underwear’, as invented back in 2007 by two kids his age: https://youtu.be/0xL2PutgTRI

I’m wondering how the store could have been OUT of them?

Alfalfa isn’t food, it’s what food eats.

Dodged a bullet.

I am not thankful for our military. In ‘the great war’ (WWI) and ‘the war to make the world safe for democracy’ (WWII) America used war dogs. It was generally recognized that these loyal canine warriors were too dangerous to return to civilian life. Now, in the unending war in Afghanistan, war dogs are again an important part of our struggle. But this time they are recognized as too much of the overall and individual struggle to be sacrificed and methods have been developed to allow them to come back to civilian life with their human partners. Yet we still send the humans again and again for redeployment, even as many as five times. They come back to unbearable mental and moral burdens and kill themselves in record numbers. We thank them for their service and hand their survivor families a carefully folded flag. We treat our human military worse than dogs.

Ahhh. You’re not out of the woods yet, Jason. Did they still have 10 dollar asparagus water at Whole Paycheck?

It’s famous only in your head, woman.

Today’s classic Sunday strip that we’re not seeing:

You’d think when those are the only things left over, she’d get the hint.

All these comics that glorify Thanksgiving dinner and hanging out with family always made me wonder what the big deal was. I realized that I have family and plentiful food all year round, and that makes me Thankful. P.S. I hate football!

Nothing wrong with sprouts. But pickled? And why anything pickled in stuffing? Mom’s misspelling infamous again.

on the list: eating an actual turkey on Thanksgiving (and I know there’s at least one strip from the past where Andy reassures somebody – Peter, I think – of this)

Andy’s the worst cook ever.

Probably the most serious defect in the culture of Native Americans was their little appreciation of the utility of restrictive immigration laws.

I don’t understand why she thinks the stuff she cooks is good, her entire family actively tells her how much they hate it every time.

1. Squids 2. Octopi 3. Cuttlefish 4. Nautiluses 5. Jellyfish 6. Siphonophores 7. Comb Jellies 8. Chickens 9. Super Mario 10. Cheese

So does that mean if we have weapons that the Native Americans didn’t have America would be OK to kill everyone trying to come into our country illegally?

Ouch.

I hadn’t realized until today’s trip that Andy is insane.

11. On line comics . . .

I’m now reading this strip on Friday, and I bet Andrea still hasn’t know about that last thankful thing Jason wrote.

I am thankful that a big meteor, 66 million years ago, killed off the large Dinosaurs otherwise the turkeys would be eating us.

I miss that being all the homework we got. Middle school is a bit of a slap in the face…
