Phillipe, being immortal, has infinite love to give.

Happy Thanksgiving, y'all. Remember, it wasn't originally about pilgrims and Native Americans and all that kinda made up stuff, that was just ret-conned in later, in the Crisis on Infinite Holidays when they also turned noble Armistice Day into gaudy redundant Veterans Day and so on.

It was just about being thankful. Like Life Day, except without the Wookies or Bea Arthur.

Enjoy your bird or ethical bird-like substitute and have a good one.

That may have something to with WWII being a "good war" and WWI being a stupid one. Also, being able to count living WWI veterans on your fingers.

Aww, Philippe's little bee card to us was pretty dang cute. I also enjoyed the Ray-Téodor exchange on the telephone. I love how Onstad is able to present his characters so masterfully. They are so multi-dimensional that I feel as if I know them. Like my imaginary internet friends that I have on this board, chums! Or perhaps I should say m'buches.
