Strange Brew:  Last year, on the day after Thanksgiving, I posted John Deering's take on Black Friday from 2017.  What I didn't post then was his 2020 toon reworking the concept ...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Loose Parts:  Tanning bed.  Yeah, that's what that is.  (I warned you when I started this sequence that Dave Blazek has a strange sense of humor about Thanksgiving.)

Diamond Lil:  We end this year's story arc with a toon that only makes sense on Thanksgiving day itself.

Loose Parts:  For turkeys, there's never "good news" at this time of year.

Diamond Lil:  It's the day before Thanksgiving and the turkeys are hoping to make it to Christmas. 

Loose Parts:  More offbeat turkey humor.

Diamond Lil:  That's one drawback, all right. 

Loose Parts:  Two years ago, Dave Blazek managed to make the pandemic into a Thanksgiving joke.

Diamond Lil: And this joke isn't much better.

Loose Parts:  The cartoonist of this strip, Dave Blazek, always goes overboard the week before Thanksgiving and does at least two turkey-related panels every year.  As you might guess, this means I have a backlog of them, and so this week I am "proud"(?) to present five from 2018, 2019 and 2020.

And Diamond Lil has a specially-themed toast:

The Far Side:  There's a lot of this going around at the moment.

And, from last year's Diamond Lil Thanksgiving arc:

Starting tomorrow, a special treat for those who enjoy Dave Blazek's offbeat sense of humor in Loose Parts.

The Other Coast:  Oh, is that the problem ...?

And at the Happy Giblet Turkey Farm, via Diamond Lil:

Argyle Sweater:  Does Mark Zuckerberg know about this?

Meanwhile, back in the Diamond Lil strip ...

Tundra:  This makes sense, perversely enough.

Diamond Lil herself makes an appearance in the Thanksgiving story arc:
