Cartoon of a wife and husband in a kitchen. The wife says, “We’re having a traditional Thanksgiving. Here’s a musket. The turkey is in the backyard.”
It’s Thanksgiving week in the USA. Time to figure out how to get that turkey with all the trimmings. I’ve never shot a turkey, nor have I had the privilege of using a musket. I’m hoping we can find the perfect bird at our neighborhood grocer. It’s much tidier that way.
Cartoon of two trick or treaters. One says, “It must have been a successful Halloween, because I’m spent!”
I drew this for Illustration Friday. This week’s word is “spent.”
Cartoon of a woman and a trick or treater. The woman says, “Happy Halloween! Here, have a pumpkin spice latte!”
Several years ago, I took my son trick-or-treating. We came to a home that obviously wasn’t prepared. The lady was giving warm cans of soda pop to the kids. Each child just stared at the can an mumbled a “thank you,” as they tossed it in their treat bags.
Looking back on it, I would have preferred a latte.
Cartoon of a baby in a pumpkin costume and a boy. The boy says, “”Get used to it. They will continually find new ways to humiliate you.”
Cartoon of a boy and an older man. The boy says, “I need a Halloween costume. Can I look through your closet?”
One of the nice things I like about the Goodwill Stores is it’s like going through someone else’s closet and finding the perfect costume for Halloween. An added benefit is I don’t alienate my neighbors.
