It's an American and a Canadian holiday generally derived from a 17th century celebration wherein colonists celebrated their thanks to God for their survival via a feast. It was turned into a national holiday by Abraham Lincoln. It's basically an extension of what was a commonplace European harvest festival that grew into the holiday that exists now.

FYI Canadian Thanksgiving is a month before American Thanksgiving, taking place around the second weekend of October. It's also minus legends about Piuritans/Pilgrims and Native Americans meeting, since Piuritans/Pilgrims didn't play much of a role in the early days of Canada.

It's funny that Faye didn't notice the girl in panel 3 is apparently an alternate universe version of Dora who didn't get heavily de-Gothifiied at some point. How she crossed the barriers between parallel universes, and why she came to Coffee of Doom, is a question that likely will never be answered.

He's depressed because he fell face-first into a tackle box.

Yes, I imagine I could have included paragraphs about French settlers, Samuel de Champlain and Martin Frobisher, but I was trying to avoid a lengthy overexplanation. That's what Wikipedia is for. Well, that and wanton vandalism, ego battles and nonsensical page-hover fiefdoms.

I'm glad Angus has returned, Faye needed him to come back so she could get out of her own head and back to the reality of the situation. I also think it's good that he reiterated his previous sentiment. I think it's more real to Faye now- before, it was "omg he said he loves me but he then he left what the hell omg" and now he's back, able to talk about things. Then again....now that I think about it, Faye could have easily called him while he was away but I suppose she was too nervous/busy with Coping Mechanisms. I just hope Angus doesn't poke fun and tell her it's not a big deal or get defeated that she didn't say it back. I'd like to see him step up his boyfriendly duties and have an open, honest conversation to ease Faye into the next stage of their relationship rather than letting this lead to an argument.
I also really enjoyed the cameo and I think Faye looks super cute in panel 2. I'm a big fan of the spiked up hair as well, I think it would be fun for her to cut it just a bit shorter and spike it regularly (although preferably with a hair product instead of anxiety).
Also: the phrase "ridiculous cockatoo pompadour" is amazing.
Hope everyone who celebrates had an enjoyable holiday with minimal family insanity. :-) Mine was decent, spent it with my fiancee's family because after my many attempts to plan something nice for my parents, my dad is still anti-holiday this year (I suppose it's to be expected after a flooded house and 3+ months without any insurance moolah).
