But it was more than a chrysalis, really. When I think about it now, it was sort of like who I was had become a Thanksgiving turkey, and who I was to be, a delicious sage and onion stuffing. I was moving beyond my ordinary mortal existence and into a realm of mind and magic. Into a reality that was pliable and fluid. And maybe, out of my mind.
Let us put that turkey out of its misery. Wait; I’ll get my big carving knife….
[later] Got it. Now just hold out your hand. We’ll run a little boiling-hot water over it to loosen those feathers, then pluck them; next we’ll proceed to the beheading of the bird.
You probably will want to learn to type with one hand thereafter….
Disregard the above farcical message. Happy Thanksgiving to Sister Teresa and her frog-flock of followers!
@BrassOrchid. I like how you incorporate key words from previous FAs and use them in your comments. Case in point: hellish people (weeks ago), chrysalis (from yesterday), etc. I recognize the words from previous strips, but only after you weave them in. My short-term memory isn’t good enough to recall them from scratch.
I’m familiar with the insult “Turkey Lips,” but what does “Turkey Hand” mean? Maybe it is not an insult but an exciting twist to playing the wood flute.

His lifeline (running through the palm) looks short. Bad news, Mr. Turkey.

Here’s a more, um, realistic hand turkey.

Foretelling the future of the turkey through the palm, an eventual turkey dinner with family is close at hand.. Happy Thanksgiving.

Do I spell that as “feathers”, or as “fetters”?

Enjoy your day, everyone. It was nice to see some of Teresa’s lamest friends here being thankful to her on this day of thanks. Include me!

Apparently, Teresa’s turkey isn’t good enough for the overlords. What do they have against Teresa? I say her turkey is too good for them!
