With the long Thanksgiving weekend upon us here in the United States, blogging will likely be pretty light until next week. But before settling in for a few days of rest and relaxation (not to mention food, football and shopping), I polled the Blog@ team to see what they were thankful for this year. Here’s our list:
1. The Black Dossier
2. Bully!
3. The Complete Peanuts
4. The Perry Bible Fellowship
5. Josh Fruhlinger’s Comics Curmudgeon
6. Brubaker’s Captain America
7. Quiet! Panelologists At Work’s inspirational podcasting
8. The friendly old-timey captions of a Stan and Jack comic
9. Creator blogs, particularly production and sketch blogs
10. The Last Call by Vasilis Lolos
11. The increasingly earlier Best Comics of the Year lists
12. Jeff Parker
13. Atomic Robo
14. Gail Simone writing Wonder Woman
15. Matt Fraction
16. Scott Pilgrim
17. Watchmen jokes on primetime TV
18. Jeff Smith
19. Alan Davis doing new Clandestine comics
20. The arrival of Tintin and Alph-Art, a book I never thought I’d see
on U.S. shores
21. Sundays With Walt and Skeezix
22. My wife, who’s very understanding about the amount of money I spend
every month on comics.
23. The crazy comics internet and all who sail in her
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

Every Thanksgiving, I indulge in a personal ritual and re-read some of my favorite comics. I’ll spend the afternoon on the couch and give thanks for Sin City, Watchmen, Powers, and Queen and Country.
Have a great Thanksgiving, everybody!

Many thanks to y’all and raise your glasses of Jones Turkey and Gravy soda to the comics, creators, fans and blogs you’re thankful for, everybody!
