Happy Thanksgiving 2025



A day early, we wish our readers a Happy Thanksgiving!



And also seek advice for turkeys. . .

On Thanksgiving, are we super thankful for numerous blessings, including Swanson TV Dinners? YEAH, BABY!



And the fact the silent movies from 100 years ago still exist!



And that those Three Stooges comedies involving Thanksgiving themes are still around, too.









Ever the avid Jay Ward Productions fan, I am ever-thankful for giant Bullwinkle and Rocky balloons at Macy's Thanksgiving Parades.



Rather oddly, am also thankful for the many mishaps that have transpired at Macy's Thanksgiving Parades. As these epic balloon blunders were the cornerstones of our 2022 Thanksgiving blog post, we'll bring 'em back for an encore.



Do I take some measure of guilty pleasure in the unfortunate impalings of gargantuan and not terribly well thought-out parade inflatables? Absolutely, provided I was definitely NOT there in person to witness the balloon-bursting disasters and get clobbered with flying debris!



Thankful for first responders and others with the task of dealing with the aftermath of parade disasters? YES - more than can be expressed!



As always, the gang at Way Too Damn Lazy To Write A Blog remains thankful for classic cartoons!



The great Hugh Harman made a bunch of terrific cartoons for WB and MGM in the 1930's and 1940's.



Have posted the following, Tom Turkey & His Harmonica Humdingers, a homage to Borrah Minnevitch & The Harmonica Rascals, on several Thanksgiving posts - and shall do it again now!



Thanksgiving cartoons starring Daffy Duck (and Porky Pig) are always the right call.




Chuck Jones and crew made the hilarious Tom Turk & Daffy.

That's just one of a slew of stellar cartoons produced by Warner Brothers Animation in 1944.



And then there's Daffy in Holiday For Drumsticks, directed by Art Davis!



Happy Thanksgiving!
