Happy Thanksgiving!
What better way to celebrate Thanksgiving – the best holiday of the year (well, aside from Super Bowl Sunday) – than with a cartoon?
To that end, imagine what the Butterball Turkey Talk-Line would be like if it were manned by the Microsoft support staff? Maybe something like this:

That’s my latest IT Underworld cartoon, a weekly tune that I do for ITWorld.com. If you like it be sure to tell your friends, family and neighbors. Heck, feel free to also Digg it. I won’t object.
Any love you can show it is greatly appreciated.
Have a great Thanksgiving! I hope you’ll be doing what I’ll be doing – eating and drinking myself silly. Remember, if you don’t, then the terrorists win.

Stuffed
I hope everybody had as nice a Thanksgiving as I did. I loaded up on gravy, mashed potatoes and pie – all of which has once again gone right to my hips. The holidays always wreak havoc on my figure.
Aside from the orgy of food, it was also a good week for comedy! I cranked out two more poorly drawn cartoons and David Letterman told two of my jokes on TV!
Let’s start with the jokes. First, Dave told this one on Monday’s Late Show (11/24/08):
Political insiders are now saying that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have formed a good working relationship but they don’t have a close personal relationship.
That’s right, Obama and Hillary have a good working relationship but not a close personal relationship – no, wait, I’m sorry, that’s Bill and Hillary.

Then, he told this little throw-away line that I wrote on his Thanksgiving Day show (11/27/08):
I have a lot to be thankful for this year.
Sarah Palin, Eliot Spitzer, John McCain, Amy Winehouse, Andy Dick…

Following on this Thanksgiving theme, IT World published my latest IT Underworld cartoon:

Last and pretty much least, I closed out the Thanksgiving week by posting yet another Schwilm cartoon:

OK, enough with Thanksgiving! Time to get to work on Christmas and Hanukkah material…
