Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for November 26, 2021

The true meaning on the day.

Because wearing black has such a slimming effect? Maybe someday it will be called “Pinstripe Friday.”

Kind of a racist description of Robinson Caruso’s servant!

Maybe we should ask Rebecca Black about Black Friday Friday.

Or maybe not…

I’ll see myself out.

Now forgotten American history: Thanksgiving was set by Presidential decree. It could be any time. The tradition arose of making it the last Thursday of November. It did mark the start of the Christmas shopping season and in the Depression merchants begged FDR to move it earlier (especially since some years there are five Thursdays in the month). FDR wanted to help businesses and moved it to the third. People in the pews were furious. It was in the Bible that Thanksgiving must be the last Thursday! FDR was a tool of Satan! Congress stepped in and established Thanksgiving as fourth Thursday.

I will reuse my Garfield comment. “Thanksgiving leftovers, you got to eat them, just to justify the cost. Then prep for the Christmas meals, and New Years parties. The Diet will need to wait for a 2022 New Years, resolutions. So diet free diet, till 2022 and beyond?”

It would have been funnier if we could see a bit of waist bulge.

Friday Black Friday, to paraphrase U2.

Don’t worry, Pam, your uniform still fits just fine!

She wears well her extra tonnage.

After two kids she still looks good to me.

I ate enough to last until tea time tomorrow.
