And he’s thankful that the Wambesi tribe agreed to guard the secret jail he set up to hold a Wambesi who went bad in a big way, the Phantom’s most formidable enemy, Chatu, aka, the Python.”
–Tony DePaul, THE PHANTOM

“Frank the Polar Bear is thankful for food of any kind, even vegetarians.”

“Samantha is thankful to be spending the holiday with her boyfriend, Dave, a visit that is slightly complicated by the arrival of 5-year-old Leonardo da Vinci from the year 1457.

“Dethany is thankful that her mother has arrived at the office. About the reason for the visit being a brutal negotiation session with the CEO Ms. Trellis…not so much.”
–Bill Holbrook, SAFE HAVENS and ON THE FASTRACK

“Mary is thankful this year for the opportunities she’s had to give…from playing a part in Adrian and Scott’s wedding success to helping Drew deal with the unwanted attentions of a misdirected admirer to encouraging the reunion of long separated true loves. She sees helping others as an opportunity to make the world a better place, her world and the world at large, for she knows they are one and the same.”
–Karen Moy, MARY WORTH

“Dag is grateful that he lives in a country where he is free to worship God without fear of religious persecution. May it ever be so!”
–Kavin Frank, HEAVEN’S LOVE THRIFT SHOP

“Ms. Calculation is grateful for the discovery that by the time she pays for refrigeration, heating the oven, and spices, she is better off buying a pre-cooked turkey.”

–Tom Armstrong, MARVIN

“Lois is thankful for having a civilized meal at the dining room table instead of sitting in front of the TV. Trixie is thankful that she can get up at the crack of dawn because it’s ‘sunbeam savings time.’ Dot likes having a couple of extra days to get ahead on her homework. Ditto is thankful that the kids in the neighborhood come over for a big game of touch football in the back yard. Chip thinks the leftover turkey sandwiches are awesome.
