How old is Rufus anyway? I was reading a series of comic strips from 1948 and Rufus pops up as a handyman hired by Skeezix part time to fix things up and tend to the furnace and mow the lawn. He apparently lived next door in a rented room of a house owned by a widow. He wears the same hat he wears today and speaks “country.”
If Rufus is in his 80’s he doesn’t look like it. And if Joel is even older . . . . ?
I guess the Joel, Rufus, Kitty and Miss Melba group are exempt from aging–and I like that. Speaking of which, haven’t seen Kitty or Miss Melba in some time, nor Joel’s jug for that matter.
Is Miss Melba still the mayor? I’m guessing after tomorrow, the story will pick back up with the Pye’s in the bus about to be hit with a missile, or maybe back to Rover and Hoogie (Rover was telling her about something new he invented). But then, it may be time to start up a Christmas story. It’s all good to me. Happy Thanksgiving!

But a turkey IS American. (A lot more so than pizza!)

This was a good story arc. I expect Jim will have the traditional “Happy Thanksgiving” spread tomorrow and start a new arc on Friday.

I like the turkey begging for mercy.

Anyone have any answers here?

We will be having a smoked turkey with different fixings.
Happy Thanksgiving all

Looks like the poor turkey will go feral, while Rufus and Joel count up their last pennies to spend on a pizza.

louisgatsaves. Ask Orphan Annie. She knows how to stay “young’.
