I had my Thanksgiving in October, fatties.

Down Under we don't have Thanksgiving (maybe because our first settlers were probably weren't all that grateful - Read "The Fatal Shore" if you're interested), and we don't go in for turkey-bingeing at Christmas much either, because it's mid-summer here and usually stinking hot. Personally I prefer lobster salad...

Whats "Thanksgiving" ?

I sorta skimmed the thread so I'm not sure if this came up yet, but I wonder if all of this would have been easier if Marten had just told Steve where Cosette worked.

I've read TFS. Gave me a new perspective on that Mick Jagger film (Ned Kelly, still don't like it, but I do understand it), and let me get more of the jokes in Terry Pratchett's The Last Continent.*

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."

*Seriously, The Fatal Shore's an excellent book.

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.

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?

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

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

Whats "Thanksgiving" ?

"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."

I forgot how good a movie that was.

Nowadays, though thanksgiving is about family. That's why it's one of the busiest days of the year at bars, has a huge drunk driving tally, and a significant increase in the suicide rate.

We have 15 for dinner tonight, all from my wife's family... and I'm posting this to escape for a few.

It's that, or slit my wrists... and I'm tired of hospitals.

Remember kids, it's lengthwise, palm to elbow, not side to side!

Do NOT try this at home!

COSETTE! <3

There's really nothing wrong with Cosette; it's just the musical's deliberately sympathetic towards Eponine.

My hate stems directly from the fact that my nickname IS Eponine. Because I'm cool. Not lame.

I just keep digging myself a deeper hole, don't I?
Also, the last panel in today's comic cracked me up, and made this stupid essay a lot better.

Why is your nickname Eponine? Are you a poor, rejected street waif, pining for a love from another world, destined to die on a lonely barricade?

Or maybe there's a more realistic explanation XD

I was whining about a dude I had a crush on, happened to be listening to it, my friend pointed it out, and it stuck.

Nah, so far as nicknames go, it isn't all that bad!

Well, Randy seems cool. But I'll be the first to point out that Randy is an unusual name for a girl. ("pouch full of babies")

Then again, she just said "I'M RANDY." So that may have been a description of how she was feeling, not her name.

Odd. I have known two girls named Randy*. And no, sadly, neither of them were.

*It's an abbreviation of Miranda.

Yelling Bird doesn't look his normal demonically pissed off self when he's not, well, yelling. I never realized he could look like a normal bird if he just shut his beak halfway.

Seems like the fourth option kinda came true.

Did anyone else read this and think of Mark Trail? You know, how the Sunday strips are always some nature lesson. Or maybe the Apteryx in B.C. who always introduces himself by breifly describing his species.
