Well, I guess we just live in a world now where the Shoe bird-men will acknowledge without shame that they are in fact bird-men. Kind of insensitive to do a joke about turkeys today of all days, though. “…I would’ve hired a turkey! Of course, it would be hard to find one. Most are being dismembered right now and the rest are in hiding.”

The second best thing about this panel is that everyone looks pleased about the Thurstons joining the Flagstons’ Thanksgiving dinner except Hi, who honestly seems pretty put out that he’s going to be spending the day with his ostensible best friend. The best thing is that, alone out of the family, Dot has clocked Hi’s expression, and is learning some stuff about the emotionally complex world of adulthood.

Hey, guys, did you know that the Smifs are into age play? I personally am not thankful to have learned this. Not thankful at all!

So, how old were you when you learned that “stuffing” an animal actually meant that you strip its skin off and fit it over an animal-shaped taxidermy form — a mannequin, basically? I was well into adulthood, and it was recent enough that I’m still a little freaked out about it. In this scenario, I guess this means either that Yarnell was for some reason skinned and then mounted on a prone form that fit into a coffin, which seems kind of pointless, or that he was skinned and mounted on a form in some heroic pose which is being displayed elsewhere, and currently his skinless corpse is the main event at an open casket funeral, which is much more horrifying and would explain Captain Poulet’s expression. It’s also possible that I’m misinterpreting the joke and actually Crock is simply going to force his men to eat Yarnell for Thanksgiving, a holiday that the French do not celebrate.

Holy crap! Shoe finally did it! It finally acknowledged that its characters are birds! And it did it with a slam on all us mammals out here reading it. “Can you imagine having hair?” thinks the Perfesser. “Grotesque.”

Dennis the Menace, 11/26/25

Hey, did you know that at any moment Dennis might just show up at your house and passive-aggressively ask to shit in there? That’s … pretty menacing, honestly.

“Oh, so they’re doing bathroom jokes in Dennis the Menace now, huh? Well, I guess it’s time for us to do strips about Marvin puking everywhere. I don’t like it either, but we’ve got a reputation to maintain.”

“Can’t believe this clown would rather cut people’s brake lines for money instead of building elaborate funny cars for the mafia. Nobody wants to work anymore!”

Pluggers, 11/24/25

Not sure if the joke here is “pluggers are lazy and listless, and look for ways to postpone even the simplest chores as long as possible” or “pluggers shit a lot, and messily.”

Wait, does Toby think Sunny’s entire species was smuggled over the border from Mexico, only to die en masse in a trucking accident? Can’t believe I’m just now putting this together, but is she, like … dumb dumb?

Shoe, 11/24/25

It was 51 years ago! That’s actually a pretty easy fact to look up.
