The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for November 13, 2009

A very sad Thanksgiving tale……

…but delicious ending!

A brandy, neat.

Think vegetarian!

and save the turkeys!

THANK YOU FOR USING THE WORD ESSENTIALLY INSTEAD OF (BASICALLY) WHICH I HATE.

Thigh…. I guess it’s all for the breast. Now she’ll have to wing it alone…

we got an invitation for a different thanksgiving meal one year, we went to a friends house and had their traditional thanksgiving lasagna with a blueberry pie for dessert

I like how Ted Williams is wearing his uniform and holding a bat.

I think ted williams may not be that altogether when they thaw him out…….

ah….. it’s a shame that this great hitter with supreme eye/hand coordination , the last to hit .400 and who was the best in the world when in his prime has degenerated into being a joke about botched , dubious cryogenics .the only thing he was gulity of was growing old. the family should have just buried him, with honors

Doc Toon: Send one of those birds my way. I’ll do my best to revive it. I have a special warming chamber to put it in.

Poor Mr. Butterball. What a heartbreaking scene.

Okay, I recognize Ted Williams. But who’s the other guy? Walt who? Disney?

Okay, I found some time to Google. Snopes reports a persistent rumor that Walt Disney was frozen cryogenically. Apparently it’s an urban legend - he was actually cremated.

Jolly,

Why, do vegetarians make good eating?

My family and I will be having our traditional 2” thick rib-eye, grilled to perfection, homemade garlic mashed potatoes and fresh steamed broccoli.

Interesting, vawser. At the time of [or technically just before] Disney’s death it was widely reported that he had been frozen. It made cryogenics quite a hot (ooh, sorry!) topic for a while. I’d never questioned the truth of the reports until now.

Basically, I liked this cartoon, because, basically, it was basically funny, although, basically, it could have been funnier, basically…(LOL)

IS THIS WHAT SUPER-DUPER INTELLIGENT ALIENS INFORM HUMANS ABOUT CANCER AND OTHER LIFE SWALLOWING CONDITIONS?

to vawser: that is Walt Disney in the ice block.
