If it's your local custom… HAPPY THANKSGIVING.
(Skip to the bottom for a new sketch. Otherwise, enjoy my talk of Thanksgiving)
My turkey is about to go into the oven. From here until about 5 it's just a flurry of activity around here.
And wine. A flurry of wine.

I saw The Expendables in the theater and I finally am reviewing it now on the day it was released on DVD.

I was at the studio for a while yesterday and then I got home and did more drawing. I'm art crazy this week.
I watched The Friends of Eddie Coyle shortly after reading the book. It holds up really well, even with the immediacy of having read it. One reason for that is its faithfulness. It sticks closely to the source material which, in this situation, works really well. George V. Higgins' book is famous for its dialog, so the movie does well to stick to that, and the novel is short, so there's not much left out in the transition to film.
