Toonsgiving Discussion Preview (Patreon)

Another student blurted out, not even raising their hand this time, “But, isn’t that what Thanksgiving is about anyways? I’m not sure I understand.”

Thank you, Kathy nodded, adjusting her hair bun slightly in the back, someone gets it.

The rabbit smiled, but there was something different in it this time. She looked serious, more serious than ever before.

“Tsk, how silly of me for not understanding that you humans may not understand! Toonsgiving is all about the love, togetherness, and eating tons of food! It’s all about making everyone feel like we’re all one, mostly through eating tons of tasty food. While it may be hard to understand, Toonsgiving is more authentic and real than how Thanksgiving is celebrated. Plus, it’s nowhere as historically revisionist as your human holiday is.”

The room went quiet. The air had changed again. This time, Kathy could not hold back.

The professor stood and snapped, “I believe that is enough. I do not care what the dean, board, or whoever thinks, but I will not have my students’ time being wasted. If you cannot properly teach them on this subject, then you’ll have to leave.”

Mrs. Leaps huffed, eyeing the teacher. “I was brought in to teach about Thanksgiving, and they thought teaching how toons celebrate the season and the history of it would be educational. All this has been approved, and I’m gonna teach, silly billy.”

“No no no,” Kathy huffed, stepping towards the bunny woman, “This is all wrong. All of this Toonsgiving nonsense. You should be teaching about the proper history, values, and impact of Thanksgiving. This is pointless.”

“Tsk tsk, I guess humans just don’t understand the importance of Toonsgiving and what it truly means. It is far more exciting and entertaining!”

“Oh, off of this!” Kathy poked the rabbit on the nose, “You can just leave right now! I have an actual class to teach.”

BOOP! Ding! A lightbulb suddenly appeared above Chitty’s head. “Oh! I know, I know! Talk is cheap, lecturing is dull! What we need is stuffing results! We need something that’ll awaken the spirit of Toonsgiving! Then you’ll get it~.”

The bunny dug into her lab pocket and pulled out a can. There was a clipart turkey on it with the phrase: “Toon Stuffing” written on its side. “This is perfect for you!”

“What? What is this nonsense ab-OMPH!” In a blink of the eye, Chitty pulled out a big spoon from behind her back and dug it into the can. She scooped up a big glob of the stuffing and shoved it right into Kathy’s mouth, all in one smooth motion.

Kathy twitched and then shivered. Her face turned red. She couldn’t speak. The spoon and stuffing were far too deep into her mouth. Everything felt numb and weird.

Yaaank. Yannnnnk. POP! And just as quickly as it started, it was over. With a few pulls, Chitty popped the spoon out, clean as a whistle.

However, that pull had left Kathy’s mug… different. Where her mouth and nose had been, now laid a beak. It was a bright yellow, narrow-ish, pointed beak, a red spot right over the top and beneath her eyes. It was quite distinct, but also familiar.

“*Pant* *Pant* *Pant*” Kathy gasped, hitting her chest, “What… what the… what the GOBBLE was that!?”
