Thanksgiving Cartoons
I love Thanksgiving! It's the purest of the big three holidays. I mean, unless you're in the turkey, pumpkin, or cranberry sauce business, there's not a lot to commercialize. Just food, family, and fun. Not bad, huh?
This being only a blog, I can't help with the food or the family, but I can definitely help with the fun with this smallish smorgasbord of Thanksgiving cartoons. Dig in!
Sure, we all like a big Thanksgiving feast, but for a certain subset of fine-feathered friends it's not so much fun. And I guess if I were a turkey right about now I'd be wondering what the cards held for me. Luckily for me I get then chance to explore that quite literally in the above cartoon.
Of course most turkeys aren't going to fare well, but thankfully (see what I did there?) this turkey is getting some help with his impending doom.
I had to look up the stages for coping with death to make sure I got them right, and then included my own little addendum. Apologies to Kubler-Ross.
Ok, I admit it, I don't know what an x-ray of a turkey looks like. I tried looking it up, but never could find anything. So I punted and just sort of drew a few ribs. Hopefully I haven't offended any turkeys and/or x- ray technicians.
Tryptophan is one of those things that once a year everyone knows about. (It's the stuff in turkey that apparently makes you sleepy.) But the rest of the year poor old tryptophan just lays there eating cheetos watching reality TV just waiting for Thanksgiving.
Sad really.
I love holidays that aren't on a specific day. New Year's Day is January 1. Boring! Valentines Day is February 14. Yawn!
Gimme those holidays that are like figuring out an equation any day! Fourth Thursday in November! That's what I'm talking about!
This is probably my personal favorite of my own Thanksgiving cartoons. It has all my favorite cartoon elements: animal in an office, a caption that won't work without the art and vice- versa, and impending though relatively unspecific death.
Well that does it. Hope you enjoyed 'em, and feel free to check out all of my Thanksgiving cartoons!
Cartoons – The Perfect Holiday Gift
I was at the mall the other day and all of the stores had their holiday stuff out.
At first I was indignant. "What the...?! Already? We're just barely into October!" Then I began to think about putting together gifts for my clients, and almost instantly I went from "too soon" to "OMG! THE HOLIDAYS ARE COMING!"
After some deep breathing and brainstorming I'm feeling better about the gifts I'll be sending out, but in case you're in the same boat I was, might I suggest a novel idea for your holiday giving? Cartoons!
Andertoons.com is now selling both framed hand drawn original art, and premium matted prints of all of my cartoons. They're the perfect unique gift for that hard to buy for client, co-worker, boss, friend, or family member. And there are thousands to choose from, so you're sure to find something that's just right.
Think about it, it's a piece of art, it's a conversation piece, and it's a good laugh to boot. And I can pretty much guarantee you'll be the only one getting them a cartoon this year.
