Well that is rather dark, even Bleeb is looking in disbelief.

Is that Dalcon back at the base of that tree? He sure seems to be keeping an eye on Bleeb lately.

Eww.

They wanted their wishbones back.

Well, if you leave your turkey carcass sitting out on the counter too long, it will revisit you if you try to eat it. You’ll think it’s your brains coming out eventually, because there couldn’t be anything else left!

Zombie turkeys!

What a fowl experience.

They bury the remains in the yard?!

Wait until the Thanksgiving carcasses hear about this and join them!

I grilled a couple of steaks for Christmas.

Maybe it’s just a new Peter Gabriel video…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJWJE0x7T4Q

Bummer! Get a leg up…..

Leftovers!

nope! Google defines carcass as →the remains of a cooked bird after all the edible parts have been removed —these guys are just headless.

Awesome! Leftovers!!

It looks delicious out there.

Maybe they can make spectre soup.

“Honey, we’ve trained our entire lives for this moment…breakout the rotisserie!”

Necks and giblets included.

So we have Bleeb who is almost always yellow. And we have Dalcon, who looks like a scroll with a brain on top and a orangeish/reddish body, but was at least once green – unless that was someone else.. In a comment a ways back, someone called a second yellow Bleeb-like creature Spatloid. Was that an attempt at a joke or is that canonical? How many Bleeb-likes are there? Is there anywhere that Mr. McPherson has discussed these BLs? Google hasn’t shown me any mention of them other than in our own comments.

Wait until they experience “Night of the living dead giblets”

How about the ghosts of some stuffing and gravy?

Poultrygeists!

All the more reason to eat ham instead.

They refuse to quit cold turkey

“Great, we just ran out of leftovers! Honey, get me the electric knife!”
