Peacock Thanksgiving
An imaginary Thanksgiving dinner attended by the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, Abraham Lincoln, the Statue of Liberty, George Washington, a Halloween witch, and a strutting peacock. A version of this colored pencil, ink, and collage on paper drawing appeared on the cover of the November 29, 1976 issue of The New Yorker, with a turkey instead of a peacock.
