My Thanksgiving Procedure

Humor

by J.C. Duffy

My name is Underdog. You may remember I had a Saturday-morning cartoon show back in the ’60s. I was big. I was physically small, especially on the TV sets of the time, but I was big in Show Biz terms. Now I’m physically large, but I’m basically a Show Biz has-been. Back then, there were Underdog comic books, Underdog lunch boxes, Underdog watches, you name it.
