Not gonna lie, my original plan was to use an old stock photo of an old vending machine just as a base, then photoshop an elaborate drawing of a Xal-Gox turkey dinner into it… but this grungy old wood paneled beast was just too beautifully ugly to cover up.  I unironically want one of these things in my room.

But yeah, happy Thanksgiving, American readers!  Hope you eat too much today! And to everybody in other parts of the world, I hope you eat too much anyway!  I’m writing this over a week in advance, but I should still be down with relatives for a few more days by the time you read this.  I should be getting back before next Monday, but I’m still shooting at getting page 1204 finished and scheduled to go live before I even leave.  If the comic is either horrendously late or not even colored in yet, you’ll know right away whether or not I succeeded.
