It's been a while since we've seen Ryan.  Come to think of it, every time we've seen him, he ends up on the receiving end of some well-deserved abuse.

Whew, hopefully the next few strips won't be so involved.  And have we seen the last of Kid Charisma?  (Of course not.)  Will Carrie finally get to her baby-sitting job?  (Soon.)  And will I get some sleep?  (Maybe not.)

Thanksgiving is going to be at our house again this year, which means this weekend is going to be a frenzy of cleaning, vacuuming, dusting, and rearranging.  Whee.

Bundle up warm, it's that time of year ...
