Transcript:
Red: Dad, Mom says it's time to carve the bird.
Charlie: But this game's not over yet! It's first and goal with no timeouts left.
Red: Can Mom carve it then?
Charlie: OK, OK, I'll be right there!
Keep in mind this strip is set about 1970. No one I knew back then had an “extra” TV in the kitchen. And when we wanted to adjust the volume or change channels (we had a grand total of 4) on our B&W set, we (gasp!) WALKED up to it.
Oh right. He can’t stop watching the stupid game to carve the turkey so of course he won’t sit down with his family for the meal, he’ll want a tray in front of the TV. Way to show respect for your wife’s hard work!
when I was a kid, we had a routine; grandma would come over, we’d all sit at the table for Thanksgiving dinner(or rather lunch), and as soon as it was over, dad would disappear to the living room, and my bog brother would go to his room… leaving me to listen to mom and granny. Yay?

If neither of Red’s parents are red-heads, who does Red get his red hair from?

And Dad usually wore a shirt and tie, especially on an occasion like Thanksgiving where I was criticized for bare feet.

I hope Rover is in more of the action on Thanksgiving. I just saw his head here today. Love to Red and Rover forever.

Rover should stand by for meat flying around the room. Watch out for those bones.
