    Gee. It looks like the only member of the “staff” that’s going to show at the DeGroots is Old Smiley.

    And to all of those who said that Tiffany may wind up at the Berger-Grays this Thanksgiving? THAT is beginning to look likely.

    Especially if Ann crashes the father-daughter dinner like she did a year ago. Or Tom hits Tiff with even MORE bad news. (Engagement/Marriage)

    Perhaps Thanksgiving day will feature two warm Thanksgiving family scenes:

    1) The DeGroots Clan plus TJ (And maybe Jack)

    2) And the Berger-Gray Crew, plus Bets and Tiffany.

    Both representing the future of BOTH families.

    Nancy is lovely, always has been. I like that we are being shown the closeness of the Fuse’s staff, that adds a nice depth to the story. There is no joke in today’s comic. It’s not funny. Just kicking the can down the road. That seems a little lazy.

    (breathes sigh of relief) Whew! No heel-turn by the DeGroots, forcing everyone to work Thanksgiving! No Ann Evil renting the Fuse for a catered T-Day event so she can abuse the staff. No Ann Evil buying The Fuse. So, this week is setting up a heartwarming Thanksgiving strip, with perhaps a speed bump or two for Tiff, but everything’s gotta work out on Thursday! One can hope….

    It’s refreshing to see that the DeGroots value Thanksgiving as a way to give back to their workers, instead of taking Thanksgiving away from them (luckily the speculation that the DeGroots would greedily accept money from Ann Evil for a catered event with forced OT turned out to be a non-starter).

    As I had thought, The Fuse is a family-run business, with no corporate masters/overlords to kowtow to for profits, so the DeGroots were free to do as they pleased, and they came through, showing that deep down, they really are good people.

    Ok, everyone is expecting Tiff to have the rug jerked out with her either getting a notice that Ann will be there or Ann is there (in some form). Three possible solutions readily available (sorry Cheapskate0, no binary for you, treat as an or gate); 1) Tomorrow Tom says Ann will be there and Tiff pulls chocks. 2) Tiff meets Tom, either Ann shows up or Tom makes an announcement leading to Tiff going to either party on Friday (call it late Thursday in the strip). 3) Tom and Tiff enjoy some Turkey. There are other possibilities but I’m thinking decreasing probability with one of the solutions shown above being in effect. (Btw, no odds on solution 3 at this time. I list it because G&K usually do family for holidays which means we might not see the outcome till Friday or the show all the characters Thursday wishing us a happy T-day).

    Could Awful Annie come up with something to draw Tom away from the Dad-Daughter dinner at the last moment; leaving Tiff all alone on Thanksgiving evening? Of course she can.

    We have a three dinner setup so far. The Gray’s, the DeGroot’s and Le Petit Chateau.

    Will T-Day be a 3 panel showing 3 happy dinners? Two happy and one morose? Will Friday show Tiff arriving at Al & Irma’s after her T-Day crash? Remember Tiffany’s last happy family moment was at the Gray’s Dinner. She even helped with the desserts.

    two offers for thanksgiving just after Daddy made plans with her and assured her it would be just them.

    I’m wagering either he’s going to put her off at the last minute OR have a “big announcement” concerning Ann. (I can see him using that as a good time to tell her he’s going to Marry Ann… But given how long Ann has been using him, he might be getting tired of her (and her spending) by now.

    Tom, face unseen, is going to find a way to write off Tiffany. To make her an offer she can’t refuse, using Ann to deliver a symbolic horse’s head. Les will tell Uncle Al and Uncle Al will once again use his connections to put Tom and Ann into a world of hurt.

    I sometimes wonder how Tiffany feels working for the parents of the girl she consistently put down and belittled? And since this arc absolutely has to end with Tiffany, not with her Dad, but at the Degroot’s, how’s she gonna like eating a little crow for Thanksgiving?

    Now I KNOW that Ann is going to somehow ruin Tiffany’s date with her dad. Tiffany’s redemption arc is slow and excruciating, but eventually (hopefully) she’ll come out the other side as part of the gang rather than a snotty, above-it-all outsider.

    Why would the DeGroots figure everyone would be available on a day most people go to their family’s home? Thanksgiving is SO overdone. If they really want to be nice, invite everyone over some other random day. Or better yet, give them nice bonuses.

    - Dinner at the DeGroots … (seems likely, because LOOK at how Nancy is welcoming Tiff!)

    Nice surprise, but WHY wait until the day (or two) before to invite anyone to Thanksgiving dinner??? Most everyone has family or made plans with friends to celebrate by that time. Unless you know for certain that they do NOT have family/friends in the area, it is wiser to invite people a week in advance.

    I still feel Tiffany is in for a helluva lot of further heartbreak. I still suspect idiot Tom “Cat” will break the news about his engagement/wedding plans AND further hurt Tiffany by asking for her help in picking out a gargantuan, mega-expensive wedding ring.

    I must admit though, I have some serious trepidation too…. about how Tiffany will handle this. I am glad Greg has never gone as “horribly sad” as some of the permutations that have gone through my mind when reading this today.
