Special bonus material!

Hey! It's another Disney cartoon! But there's something special about this one — it isn't included in the book!

The folks at Disney took out the Splash Mountain ride without consulting us, so we pulled this one from production.

Just a reminder that our book, The Pickletons go to Disney, is available now and makes a great gift for that Disney fan in your life.
 

Sketchbook: In the straw

There’s a gag in here somewhere, I just haven’t quite found it yet. Too bad — it’s a catchy tune. 
 

A Scottish Thanksgiving

Not sure I'd want to have dinner with Lady Macbeth...

Here's a fun fact: female turkeys —like male turkeys — also have wattles (the neck thing) and snoods (the beak thing), but theirs are less pronounced. Their coloring is more subdued as well. 

The more you know...

There when you need it

I guess that's kind of the equivalent of turning your turkey off and turning it back on again.

This is a rerun from the last time we studied the Book of Mormon, but it's one of my favorites. How much do you depend on your phone for light?
 

Next: Cat juggling

There's a gang of wild turkeys that wanders our neighborhood. They've got an attitude.

Their attitude made me think beyond the wild turkeys to wild and crazy turkeys — which led to the early years of comedian Steve Martin.

This might appeal to a particular demographic. Still, it made me laugh!
 

Sketchbook: Here's a thought

I learned this week that in Egyptian it would take about 11 characters to write out "Mahonri Moriancumer," but only two to write "the brother of Jared." I think Moroni was wise to choose the shorter option — besides, it makes some of our Jaredite jokes so much easier!

The more I think about it, I may make this into a full-fledged cartoon. It certainly illustrates what it feels like to come up with an idea for a gag: from dumb as a rock to enlightenment!
