Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for November 28, 2024

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE!!

I’m thankful we all get to read the LUANN strip daily… and usually argue about it. ;)

I’m not allowed to carve the turkey anymore. My family don’t like me performing a necropsy on their meal.

LMAO!!! Ninja Pilgrim! Perfect sight picture! John Belushi—the original SNL Samurai Butcher—dressed as a Pilgrim (more properly called a Separatist) with a katana.

ninja pilgrim – LOL!

Her father backed into the meat grinder and got a little behind in his work

Is there anything that Mrs Horner can’t do?

I wonder if she’ll ask how her old house is holding up since she sold it to them?

What a surprise, our new president elect is a butcher also.

Back in the ’60’s, GE marketed an electronic carving knife; I can remember seeing commercials for it on TV. Apparently, it never sold well—it was a bulky thing and hard to control. Happy Thanksgiving to all in the Luanniverse.

Frank’s grip on that knife looks pretty awkward.

We still use an electric knife. It’s great for slicing breast meat. Cut joints with a blade. Then slice with an electric knife. But the task, or honor, has passed to a grandson. So he can do it however he prefers. Shalom.

Lots of celebration of Mrs. Horner. Seems like Mrs Horner won’t make it to Xmas.

Furthermore, if you break into Mrs Horner’s place, you’re liable to get CUT.

Happy Thanksgiving to all. (Whether you choose to celebrate it or not.). ;-)

Always have your knife sharpener handy.

Apparently, Frank DeGroot’s daytime job isn’t going to be a butcher?

You’re next.

Butcher, Baker and Candlestick Maker.

Frank has been doing this over 20 years and still has no idea how to hold the knife?

“Ninja Pilgrim”?

Happy Thanksgiving.

There are no ninja pilgrims, they were not East Asians, maybe he should have said a knight pilgrim.

Mrs. Horner’s a whiz with that knife. I’d hate to run into her in a dark alley at night

It’s 4:20 in th morning here. Just started baking the turkey so it’ll be done around 2:30 in th afternoon. Pretty big turkey, 31 pounds an at 20 minutes a pound that’s about 620 minutes, so around a little over 10 hours. Pretty close.

Turkey coma at 4:00 in th afternoon. Film at 11..

No butchers in my family, but my mother used to sharpen a knife like this and she would carve the turkey. Later on we got an electric knife. I do not have one so I am back to carving by hand.

Have a great day, everyone!

Hope she wiped the blade after sharpening.

Happy Thanksgiving from Luann and all of her friends and family.

Mrs. Horner: a MARVELOUS woman of many talents!

Mrs. Horner carve the turkey with wonderful dignity, it’s nice to know more about her. Frank’s astonishment is amusing and she’s certainly enjoying this dinner. Happy Thanksgiving from Europe!

My dad could sharpen a knife on teh sharping rod like that. Me not so much, but then he also worked in a meat packing plant for a time.

Not that hard to carve the bird.

Happy Thanksgiving

This arc is boring! Stef! Please show up to the house unannounced!

Go Granny, Go!

The AMAZING Mrs. Horner!!!!

After 400 years, we still honor the sharing of the earth’s blessings upon the earliest settlers of this country. They came here, escaping persecution for having a different religious belief than the king. They shared the bounty with those who had lived on that land for thousands of years. The fact that those immigrants didn’t get wiped out by their new neighbors is a testament to the power of tolerance and sharing, and in itself may be a miracle.We should all be very thankful that those from across the sea were allowed to survive and eventually prosper. This is something worth celebrating…. HAPPY IMMIGRANTS DAY!!! God bless those escaping religious persecution and seeking a new life.

Mostly the second one.

Old people have skills that are largely unrecognized and/or ignored. You go, Mrs. H.

HAPPY THANKS…..GIVING FROM….W….K…..R….P!! Https://www.youtube.Com/watch?v=4SXI-eLMq1E

Mrs. Horner is going to cut that bird like she would if it attacked her in a dark alley.

I suppose knife skills may come in handy these days as a teacher. On the other hand, never bring a knife to a gun fight.

Attagirl…….quality experience!

I’ve never seen the purpose of carving the bird at the table, but then my family has never been one to follow traditional traditions.

Is the whetstone on the table in the first panel, or did Mrs. Horner bring her own? Most people do not own a whetstone.

Yea for 90 somethings! If I get past my 80’s I hope I could be one too. HAPPY THANKSGIVING fellow Luannverse debaters! This little few minutes is such an important part of my day, for years, and thanks Lu and Bern, and the whole crowd, and the Evan’s family creators.

Happy Thanksgiving Greg and Karen!

Happy Thanksgiving to the Evans family.

Frank acts like he has never carved a bird before . . . so who usually did it in years past? Nancy?

It’s the only holiday that isn’t a commercial gimmick. Enjoy!

Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate it!

GO GRANNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yoh ! , Miss H Got Skills ! ;-)

No matter how old and feeble a person looks, she might be an expert knife wielder.

Happy Thanksgiving from The❤️Count, Dearest Ann❤️Eiffel and The❤️Eiffelettes! God Bless America!

That would do it.

Ms. Horner really knows how to cut it up. Taking about the turkey of course.

We learn something new about Mrs. H. every time we see her.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow friends on the Luann forum. I’m so thankful for each and every one of you!

Then you should know not to do that directly over the food you are about to cut. Well, Mrs Horner would know, but apparently G&K don’t.

Is this Frank’s first Thanksgiving??

Is there ANYTHING the Amazing Ms. Horner can’t do?Naaah…

The “my father was …” meme is getting old. I’ve seen it used (humorously) as “Sure I can fly a helicopter. My father was a fighter pilot.”

I thought Diana Prince was Wonder Woman
