I have long wondered about this. On the day I drew this, it was a Friday and I had been sitting at a light when the tornado sirens went off. No one seemed to think anything about it. If it had been a real emergency, I don’t know how long it would have taken us to realize that.
When this came out in the paper, it was a week before Thanksgiving, which means it shows up on-line on the actual holiday. That was not on purpose. I was just too lazy to read a calendar until it was too late.
