Thou Shalt Not (1992)

February 10, 1992

(1992) Dry Bones cartoon: Israel,  Kosher, Politics, religion,
Today's Golden Oldie cartoon is from 20 years ago this month. February 1992. Sigh. Another of those cartoons that could be run today without any changes.

BTW, If you don't know about mixing wool and linen, it's called shatnez. For the whole story check out the ShatnezTtesters of America.

Thanksgiving Day

Turkey, pork, Pig, Kosher, Thanksgiving, Holiday, Holidays, American Jews, America, Pilgrims  : Dry Bones cartoon.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Note: The American Thanksgiving is on the fourth Thursday of November, but there's also a Canadian Thanksgiving Day which is held on the second Monday of October.

This year, Canadian Thanksgiving fell on Monday, Oct 10, 2011 ...so a belated Happy Thanksgiving to our Canadian friends too.

Thanksgiving Day (1993)

(1993) Dry Bones cartoon: Thanksgiving Day.
Today's Golden Oldie is a Dry Bones cartoon done 13 years ago for Thanksgiving Day in 1993.

The rituals of an American Thanksgiving are one of the few things that I miss here in Israel. So those of you out there in the States who are about to chomp into turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and sweet potatoes ...please think of me ...and have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Note that in this cartoon, Doobie the Dog has his own strip as an add-on to the Dry Bones cartoon. Back in the Old Days in America when Sunday Comic Supplements published full page comic strips like Dick Tracy and Little Orphan Annie, they often had a second, one-line comic strip (by the same cartoonist) running under the cartoon page.

...as I did in today's Golden Oldie!
