I’ve always wanted to do an Easter Rabbit cartoon as well as a Thanksgiving one, and here is the fruit of my labours! (I may yet post a photo of my crucified Easter Bunny on Sunday. TK.) And yes, this cartoon was rejected in another version once before, where the turkey was smoking crack in front of a brownstone stoop littered with beer cans and hypodermic needles.

PS - for my non-american readers who may not be aware of the custom, the tradition is that just before Thanksgiving, the President of the United States (the Leader of the Free World, as they say), pardons a turkey. That is, this pardoned turkey will be spared from becoming someone’s dinner, and basically “retire” from the food chain.) Other pardoned turkeys include President Nixon.
