Americans are faced with a number of culinary considerations each year as they prepare for their respective Thanksgiving feasts. Cooks find themselves pondering the merits of stuffing vs. dressing, yams vs. sweet potatoes, canned cranberries vs. fresh, turkey vs... turducken -- the list goes on. One thing most everyone can agree on, however, is pumpkin pie.

Not everybody wants to scarf down pumpkin puree topped with twice its mass in whipped cream, necessarily, but it's a comforting meal-ending decoration regardless. For many, it's the only time of year they consider pumpkin a food and not a mere jack-o'-lantern vessel.

Prepare for your forthcoming Thanksgiving feast finale with a dozen pumpkin pie comics baked just right.
