Yeah Thanksgiving is supposed to be on a specific day, but nobody really cares, so we just kind of slip it in where it’ll make a little money between the real holidays.
That’s why USA and Canada celebrate on different days, I think.
Why is Sarah Josepha Hale bug wearing a man-pilgrim’s hat?
I see Thanksgiving as providing the necessary calories for a good Old Fashioned Black Friday stakeout. Though the way things are going, it’ll be confusing next year when the sales start before Turkey Day.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go get pepper spray cop to clear out the Walmart occupiers for me.
Its the same in Denmark, Halloween is creeping in. We do have a minor holiday called Mortens Aften (Mortens Eve), a silly day, its about a man who was chosen to be Bishop but didn’t want to, so he ran away and hid near a goose house/pen/whatever-geese-live-in. The birds ratted him out, so to punish them we eat duck and goose around the 10th of November.
i have to say i disagree, it’s my favorite holiday: it cant be commercialised like Xmas and Halloween, there’s no shopping for presents/costumes or decorations, you get to see your family (i realize this is a detractor for some people), it’s almost entirely about gorging your self, and i think its the 2ed most recently established holiday.
Oh heck no. Thanksgiving is my FAVORITE. What other holiday always gets 2 days off? And it’s celebrated with FOOD instead of presents, making it all sorts of instant win over christmas.
Ethnic cleansing of Indians means amazing sales before the wrong date to observe Christ’s birth with a fat, sainted yet pagan symbol. Enjoy your facts! falalala!
You know, a harem anime about anthro holiday girls could actually be really cute, might have to write that fanfic. If nothing else, Bug as dating sim protagonist = instant hilarity
Second!
Damn it!
This is far funnier than any old-fashioned firsting.

Not sure if trolling or…
Nick…to be second, you have to be AFTER someone.
Then i shall claim first for myself
And I shall claim zero!
Damn you haydenelrics i Will get you next
And I shall claim -1!
Then I shall claim 1i!
Ya can’t factorialize an imaginary number.
-∞ duly claimed.
Now let’s have no more of this firsting.
Can too, by analytical extension of the gamma function.

I love this comic so much right now!
Compared to America, there’s a holiday dearth in Europe. We have neither Hallowe’en nor Thanksgiving!
Sadly enough, Helloween is rapidly taking over at least in Germany … Money makes the world etc.

@Thejs: sounds like an awesome holiday to me ^^ go punish those birds for their treachery!
Well thats at least wrong for us in Germany, we have Thanksgiving (Erntedankfest) but not such a big issue as in the States.
It used to be the same for us Aussies, but we’ve slowly been stealing Halloween. I don’t like it… 😐
“Well hello there Christmas, how YOU doin?”

Finally, someone understands!! I don’t have to live with the consuming guilt anymore! (pun, albeit unintended, still rather amusing)
We canadians solve this problem by having it in October.
haha, this is what I was going to say.
If you’re like me though, you celebrate TWO thanksgivings because your husband is Canadian and you are American. 😀
Robot Shredding Party! >snort!<
solution! have thanksgiving before halloween! that way you can spend the entire time post sugar high in a christmas cheer frenzy!
Just discovered this strip…awesome work Adam! I will be reposting links as much as i can so everyone gets in on the ant goodness
Ants, huh? I always saw them as roaches or some kind of beetle. But no matter what, they’ll always just be Bugs 🙂
