I thought this one was going to be easy, but it somehow took forever! Whenever a background element creeps in it just really takes the wind out of my sails.
We decided last year to do a new elf comic every Christmas, which is why it was so urgent that I update the previous strip.
I was going to have it her throwing away art and leftover halloween candy, but J suggested pushing the joke (and making her seem more justified) by making it ALL turkey handprint art.
It wasn't until the very end when I realized that pawprints don't actually make terribly good turkey shapes, so I had to get creative!
