“Donner” means “thunder” in german.
Is that relating to some old immigrant tale?
I don’t understand the message or joke of the cartoon itself, but George Donner was of German decent.
“The Donner party” is the name given to a series of events and dumb decisions in the 1840s that lead to 39 of the 87 American pioneers in the party dying from exposure, starvation, disease, and cannibalism when they ignored expert advice and took a “shortcut” to California, getting trapped in the snow.
a series of events that led to Americans dying when they ignored expert advice…
Thus starting a fine tradition!
Then I guess the joke is that no one would want a snow dome representing a miserable and disastrous event that happened in snow. Ho hum.
One thunder kebab please
that’d be “Döner Kebab”, döner being turkish for “rotating”.
Traditional german dish brought by turkish immigrants. :-)
It’s “donner” in the UK. Otherwise the joke would be worse than it already is!
