The First A.I. Thanksgiving
According to Deep Dream Generator, no European colonists were present at The First Thanksgiving but the locals had plenty of pumpkins and raw quail to eat.
Marney’s Thanksgiving Letter
I became aware of “The Letter” late last night and initially dismissed it as satire. I was stunned to find that it is indeed legit, and was posted on Awkward Family Photos on 24 November 2009. If that isn’t enough verification, AFP conducted an interview with Marney (posted below).
Enjoy!
THE INTERVIEW
Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving With The Carvers
The crosscut saw is a pain to clean, so when the missus pulls the bird out of the oven and asks me to do the honors, this year I’m grabbing the bow saw.

The Outbursts of Everett True
The Outbursts of Everett True was an American two-panel newspaper comic strip created by A.D. Condo and J. W. Raper that ran from July 22, 1905 to January 13, 1927. It followed this setup:
Panel 1: Someone annoys Everett True.
Panel 2: He yells at and/or physically punishes whoever annoyed him.
Everett True also stood up for those who were being bullied, and often received smiles of approval from nearby observers. His wife never put up with his belligerence, and would hurl pots, pans and sometimes his supper at him if he mouthed off at home.
