Although I didn’t think so at the time, I’m thankful that I was jilted once, otherwise I wouldn’t have met a better woman. My wife. 35 years and hoping for 100 more.
Brutus was asked to state what he was thankful for; he did. With a termagant like Mother Gargle as a mother-in-law, I’d be thankful she found someone else to torment today also.
Only Brutus Thonrapple would be thankful that Mother Gargle isn’t there for Thanksgiving, not realizing that it means she will be there for the WHOLE Christmas Holiday.
Although I kind of anticipated that response from the first frame when I didn’t see the Spawn-ess of Satan at the table, Brutus’s joyful expression and forthrightness, despite the glare from Gladys, still gave me a spit take with my coffee. Thanks for another great strip and happy Thanksgiving Chip.

Maybe, just maybe, Mother Gargoyle’s BROOM ran out of “fuel” on the way over to your house, Brutus!!!

Have you considered that the other “relative” may have drawn the short straw?

Times like this, it might be best to keep your gratitude to yourself Brutus. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Johnny Carson & Doc Severinsen talk Thanksgiving plans. One of the funniest moments in late night TV…

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends south of the 49th parallel.

Well at least he did not start singing “I PRAY FOR YOU!” Jared and the long road to Love.

I’m surprised Brutus hasn’t learned this by now, but, never, but never, anger the cook. OK, Gladys, you can salt his cranberry sauce.

On Thanksgiving day, Brutus offers his honest thanks!

Kewpie? Where is Kewpie? No dog is too far away when there is a feast! Whatever it is, it’s probably better than dog food. OK, maybe better.

Since the kid had just spoken, I thought Brutus was addressing him — but his mother was right there at the table, so his comment made no sense.

Brutus was a winner—not a loser—today for sure. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

Hard to believe Mother G. has any other relatives who would be willing to spend time with her on Thanksgiving.

Can’t darn him for his honesty, Gladys! (GoComics won’t let me use the word I intended.)
