This has nothing to do with Last Kiss, but here’s a great scene from a Thanksgiving-themed Donald Duck story written and drawn by the great Carl Barks. Original publication in Walt Disney’s Comics and Stories #75, 1946. ©The Walt Disney Company.

Me? Cook?

Me? Cook?

Fortunately (for everyone’s sake) I’m not expected to cook this Thanksgiving. So there’s much to be thankful for right there. No food poisoning this year. No need for anti-acids. No desperate three-legged, relay races (Don’t ask!) to the bathroom.

Just family, friends, fun and honestly good (as in tasty and digestible) food.

I hope you and your family enjoy the same!

SCENE: A very alarmed woman reacts to some bad news.

WOMAN: Oh, no! You expect me to cook!
