Thanksgiving - Mixed Blessings - Perry Kent


Panel 1
A girl, around 12, trudges out the front door of a house. She has a large puffy jacket and a dour expression on her face. Her hands are in her pockets as she is looking toward the ground. Yelling issues from inside the house.

1. VOICE #1 (shout, inside house): He isn't qualified to run anything bigger than a bowling alley!

2. VOICE #2 (shout, inside house): He's better suited than that crooked loser!

Panel 2
The girl sits on a bench next to the sidewalk. Fall leaves are strewn across the ground. Her hands are still in her pockets.

3. GIRL (thought): I'm thankful for quiet moments.

Panel 3
The girl chews, her one hand holding a roll and the other holding a napkin wrapping of more food. A stray dog walks up to where she sits on the bench.

4. GIRL (thought): Mhmm...and rolls.

Panel 4
The dog looks up at her with big, sad eyes. It is begging for a meal.

Panel 5
Similar to panel 3: The girl chews, her one hand holding a roll and the other holding a napkin wrapping of more food. The stray dog sits at her feet, chewing on a roll.

5. GIRL (thought): And new friends.
