Hello everyone!
Today’s comic is Garfield featuring Grandma Arbuckle (his
owner’s mother) and the cutting of the Thanksgiving turkey.
American Thanksgiving is tomorrow, November 27th. American Thanksgiving always falls on the
last Thursday of November.
COMIC BREAKDOWN
This comic does not require any words to make sense or to
be funny for any North American or anyone that has roasted and eaten turkey. It is a cultural representation of many
people’s feelings towards serving and eating turkey.
What is going on?
Whenever one thinks of Thanksgiving, the first thing that
one usually remembers is the turkey.
Unofficially, Thanksgiving is even known as Turkey Day!
One common problem of roasting a turkey is that it is not
easy. Many people end up having a turkey
that is very dry. Dry turkey meat is
very hard to eat and very hard to cut!
Why is this image
funny?
Because of the difficulty of cutting turkey meat, many people
have thought about using a chainsaw instead of a knife. Grandma Arbuckle is literally going to use
the chainsaw so Garfield is worried!
Luckily it all works out and a nicely cut turkey is the
result. Everyone is happy.
But in real life, no
one should try to cut a turkey with a chainsaw!
