In his second "episode," Julian continues to believe he has been sent to Earth to observe and report on human behavior, this time as people celebrate Thanksgiving. In addition to facing parental indignities, Julian suffers through a visit from the extended family ("genetically linked mini-brains"). The amusing text is well paired with squiggly-lined black-and-white illustrations, including cartoon panels, accented with orange.
