Thanksgiving 2020 - more thanks to give every day

Frame 1: Sr. Banana is setting the thanksgiving table, and has the iPad open on it. Banana says, "Bok Choi! Come look! Everyone using a irtual background for thanksgiving dinner!" Offscreen bokchoi says, "Neat! can you make ours the cafe?" Panel 2: we see Earl, drinking a cup of tea. in the background is a beautiful mountainscape. frame 3: Ella the persian cat: in the background is a graffiti-scrawled wall with a picture of Earl with a red line through it, and it reads "down with dogs!' Panel 4: Squash, the English sheepdog is eating a cookie and having a soda, and in the background is a lush jungle. panel 5: Happy, the blue poodle, has a depressing grey background. all four of them are snickering. Panel 6: We see Bokchoi and Sr Banana, who both appear to be sitting inside a giant cup of coffee. Bokchoi says, "why are they laughing? do we look like we're in the cafe?" and Sr Banana replies, " si! in the cafe!"

Frame 1: dinner via teleconference. Bokchoi says to the iPad “Happy thanksgiving!” a tiny puff of grey smoke drifts in near the ceiling. Frame 2: Happy, the blue poodle says, “i’ve got nothing to be thankful for.” frame 3: Bokchoi’s house: a little more smoke drifts in. BokChoi says, “Try being thankful for something little.” a scream comes from the kitchen. Frame four: lots of smoke now, and banana comes marching out bearing a smoking dish, and yelling back towards the kitc1hen,” Estupido cheap oven! pedazo de basura! quemaste mi pan de tofu! ¡Te arranco la puerta, te lleno de gasolina, te prendo fuego y te arrojo por la ventana! ¡maldita porqueria de la tienda MAS PEsima de toda la podrida ciudad! Que avestruces rabiosos te muerdan! ¡Que el diablo te arrastre al infierno! “ and he spits. Frame 5: Happy, who sees all this on the iPad, is smiling, and says “ok, i’m thankful for Sr. Banana.” in the background we hear Sr. Banana telling BokChoi, “eat your carbon before it gets cold!”

Winter Sledding - Socially Distanced

A snowy mountain slope. several people are out in their winter clothes having a great time sledding - one on a sled, one on a saucer, one on an inflated tube. Each person and their sled is inside a giant plastic ball that rolls downhill like a hamster ball.

Begonia, Zombie Secretary: The Quest

one-page comic story, beginning with an elegant oval cameo representation of Begonia (the zombie secretary) in a 19th century hairdo. in the subsequent panels she stalks through a moonlit night groaning "love" - her tongue hangs out, her hands grope in front of her, and she is wearing a nice cocktail gown and heels. She comes to a city at last, the lights twinkling in the trees, the stars twinkling overhead. "Loooove" she moans, and eventually comes to a building with a sign reading "Date Night: 7-9 pm." Eagerly she opens the door and stalks inside where a large room is filled with small tables with numbers on them. A man sitting alone at table #13 turns to see her, smiles, and waves at her. She stops midword. "Lov-" and stares at him. then she shouts "Brains!" and pounces on him, tipping the table, the chair, and the man, and she eats his brains. in the last scene she wanders off down a moonlit highway groaning "looooove......"
a piquant, trenchant, touching comment on our own ability to shoot ourselves in the foot. Or maybe it's just a zombie love story.

One fine day in the Monster Prison

a hellish cavern filled with fire and gloom. the jailer reaches for a ring of keys, talking to the winged purple dragonlike monster peeing through the bars of a dark cell. The jailer says, "congratulations, you earned time off for bad behavior."
