The holidays are always tough. But this year’s Thanksgiving is a real turkey.
Many of us will be separated from family and friends. And that leaves a void no amount of stuffing can fill.
But I hope you’ll still be able to enjoy the day. More than that, I hope you experience hope and feel the love that the people in your life—whether they’re near or far—feel for you.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Thankful That I’m Not a (Real) Turkey,
John Lustig

Turkey: So… you’re stressed about Thanksgiving this year? Golly! Me too! Maybe we can form a support group…after dinner!

I’ll be posting a new Thanksgiving comic tomorrow. But today’s comic is a golden oldie from the ancient past—of 2014. Mike Pascale and I have teamed up on a lot of holiday gags over the years. This is one of my favorites.
