I have heard it described as "We took your land and made it ours-day".
Funny how the first two panels of this comic could have come right out of the comic discussion forum!

Now you see, that would have been way too easy, where's the comedy in that?

Basically a North American harvest festival. Last chance to really pig out before the Dark Days of Winter start up.
Also commemorates one of the few times colonists and Indians were not at each other's throats. Very multi-culti.

That's a very deceptive summary. Here's some background on the "First Thanksgiving": http://www.trinicenter.com/historicalviews/thanksgiving.htm.

--- Quote from: muffmasta on 26 Nov 2009, 01:32 ---Why is it that almost everyone wears a hoodie? Admittedly, I like hoodies myself, but this isn't an accurate portrayl of life in general, is it? Or perhaps it is just nice to draw them.

I certainly don't wear them. But in the world of fashion and popular attire, I live in, well, some outback town probably only Akima actually knows about. Or, to put it in local parlance, "so far back in the woods they have to pipe in sunshine."

I think because its a college town? Here in college park everyone wears hoodies. Even some teachers.

"You have taken the land which is rightfully ours. Years from now my people will be forced to live in mobile homes on reservations. Your people will wear cardigans, and drink highballs. We will sell our bracelets by the road sides. You will play golf, and enjoy hot hors d'oeuvres. My people will have pain and degradation. Your people will have stick shifts. The gods of my tribe have spoken. They have said, "Do not trust the Pilgrims, especially Sarah Miller". And for all these reasons I have decided to scalp you and burn your village to the ground."
