Luna AND Milo. You poor thing. I feel your pain. I started to read something about climate change and how the orange man is going to undo everything that Biden has done to keep our air clean, and like you..... I couldn't. I stopped. We should all take out stock in oxygen masks. But, let's can the orange man for this holiday and try to be thankful....though I know tis going to be difficult. I just think of all those people in Ashville and Florida who have lost everything, and I feel both sorry and thankful. We just have to keep putting one foot in front of the other until he takes up the pavement. Anyway, Happy Turkey to all. xo

I love your bottom cartoon. More of that kind please. It helps me focus on the little things that I CAN do and that really do add up in the long run.

I like the new cartoon. As for the Trump dance and the NFL, I don't follow the NFL closely, but close enough to know that celebratory dances are as competitive as the actual sport. It's not enough that you score a touchdown or snatch an interception, if you don't have a dance, your peers don't take you as seriously. So there's a premium on dance novelty, and that's probably all that's going on. The Trump dance has the advantage, as you suggest, of making every fan happy, some taking it as homage, others as parody. I don't think it will last long at all, though, or that the rest of really need to give it much thought. The NFL is, after all, The Novelty Footwork League.

I could not argue about Luna or Milo. They are both brilliant and wonderful. I am a dog person who adopted a cat for her daughter a few years ago. Cats are wonderful if one knows their communication style. Unlike dogs, they are "in the moment."

I will argue though that pecan pie is better than pumpkin and apple.

LOL when I came to the end cartoon Luna or Milo. makes me forget the call and response conversation the orange man is having with Canada, Mexico, China... I saw the dance before I knew it was a trump imitation; then I couldn't watch any more football, either. I share the views of the writers.

Hope you have a loving and Happy Thanksgiving, Lisa.

I so appreciate your commitment to trying to help us all muddle through. I love the idea of returning to the non-political petty food arguments...yes, would that those are the disagreements found most this year, if any.

On a political note, for me Steve Schmidt (Youtube and other social media) to have the clearest analysis and perspective on what's happening--and there's at least a ray of hope in his messages. He happens to be a former GOPer but has not been since about 2015 or earlier, but I think Trump did it for him.

You made me laugh. The news is full of Trump, and I can't even read most of it.

I like the exhausted, dancing Trump's hand outside the border. What does that breech suggest, I wonder?

It is so depressing and ridiculous.

Apart from raping social security and Medicare, which I expect to see any time now - my sense, having worked for a company whose whole raison d’être was shielding obscene profits from taxes, is that these money gluttons (including some mindless football idiots) don’t want to pay an extra cent of taxes..which they scarcely pay anyway.. BUT they do not intend to destroy an economy (any country’s) that contributes to their “filthy lucre”.. so neither the Dow or Nasdaq will suffer unduly.

Who will suffer? Those that Scrooge so descriptively called “the surplus population.”

Do you feel your drawings of Trump normalize him? We could do an entire therapy session with this question. I won't commit you to answer, only a probing question.

My vote on your closing artwork is: bread, fresh, pumpkin, and Lunar.

Liza, Appreciate you so much. You are a part of my daily mental health with your always appropriate commentary that keeps us feeling the comfort of likeminded people and genius satrical cartoons to bring a smile in the hardest of times. Orange man looks like he’s hit the wall but nothing stops his Cruelty to other humans.

Bread stuffing for sure, fresh/ whole cranberries and pumpkin pie as long as I can have Cool Whip (unless someone is making real whipped cream). How about green bean casserole or just green beans? This is way more fun to debate. Thanks.

You asked, so… The Dancing Outlaw (might be a protected phrase as it is the title of a documentary). I see your Trump character in harness pulling America over a cliff, dancing outlaw fool that he is.
