One of the best collections of NYer cartoons are The Rejected Collections, which is full of so dark cartoons. So your turkey one definitely was up my alley! To be very very dark, You can also read it like a turkey Dahmer joke (“When I cook turkey....”).

Charles Schultz beat you to the punch -- I love Peanuts .... but Woodstock pulling on the turkey wishbone with Snoopy always struck me as a bit dark .... :)

Yes, I laughed. I prefer not to analyze it myself, but it does have a whiff of Chas Addams in it.....
