A FoxTrot Thanksgiving mini-collection!

Thanksgiving Comics - FoxTrot comic strip by Bill Amend - Published November 18, 2001 - Transcript: Peter Fox: Mom, we are having turkey for Thanksgiving, right? Mom: You've asked me that four times now, Peter. Peter Fox: I know, but sometimes you go all tofu-happy, and I just want to be sure you aren't planning to serve us some gross and disgusting veggie meal instead. Andy Fox: No, Peter, you'll be eating a real, honest-to-goodness dead turkey this Thursday. It's head chopped off, it's blood drained out, it's feathers yanked off, it's organs pulled out, it's cooked flesh cut and picked from it's bones and put on our dinner table, all for the benefit of your little taste buds. No, siree, there'll be nothing "gross and disgusting" served in this house. Peter Fox: Woohoo! Thanks! Andy Fox: Why do I even bother with sarcasm?
