Thurber Thanksgiving Thursday; Ink Spill’s Traditional Football Drawing
As football is so associated with Thanksgiving, what better way to celebrate James Thurber, football, and Thanksgiving than to post this Homecoming program, dated November 21, 1936 cover for Thurber’s Alma mater, Ohio State.
Here’s a Thurber-centric snippet from OSU’s The Lantern:
Here’s more on Thurber, Ohio State, and Chic Harley (the post includes Thurber’s piece, “When Chic Harley Got Away”)

And speaking of football…
It’s a Spill tradition to post this New Yorker drawing of mine, published in the magazine October 16, 2006.
The dog steals the show, seizes the ball, stops the play. Th loved this idea. Dog, centerstage, among the bewildered. Another version of this: A woman from the bleachers takes to the field and steals the ball.
Love your drawing, Michael! Happy Thanksgiving. 🦃
