Inter-Service Thanksgiving (Space Force Edition)

Nov 20, 2022 — Comic #299
A Thanksgiving potluck where each branch brings a stereotypical dish: the Army brings turkey-flavored MREs, the Navy brings vending-machine chips, the Air Force brings only itself after eating lobster, the Marine brings crayons (“I brought extra cranberry!”), the Space Force brings freeze-dried astronaut ice cream, and the Coastie brings a seized drug bale. The closing banner reads “Happy Thanksgiving from all 5 branches,” with “5” crossed out and replaced by “6.”

Yes, it’s almost time for Thanksgiving, when the brave members of our military return home to their families after forgetting what real food is like

The Army brings the Thanksgiving turkey / Well, they’re turkey-flavored MRE’s, but that’s still good, right? / The Navy brings gedunk snacks / If you mush up the chips, it’s almost like mashed potatoes / The Air Force brings itself / I won’t eat much, I filled up on lobster at the O-Club / The Marine Corps bring crayons / I brought extra cranberry! / The Space Force brings astronaut ice cream / I stole these from Buzz Aldrin’s glove compartment / The Coast Guard brings whatever it found on that last boarding / I was out of beer, so I figured this was basically the same stuff / Happy Thanksgiving from all 5 [crossed out] 6 branches!
