Beviek ordered this from my bakery on Ballard Street just for you, Number Three!

I’m happy to add my own best wishes to all the rest….Happy Birthday, and many happy returns!

Glad you guys like it…hope Number Three does too!

Gratz on your birthday, have a great time!

Great job on the paper, X!

I think you need a LINK so people can look at it bigger and see the detail!

The news photo is impressive….did you take it yourself?

Nice!

I gave ’em that link so they could see the whole paper and read the words.

If you don’t want it there just tell me and I’ll remove it.

The reply function at GoComics seem to really $(#*(&( lately.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Number Three. I hope you won’t eat all that cake at once. I expect there’ll be a few more by the end of the day.

I’m amazed at the talent of you commenters! I’m doing good to type my greetings without any artwork. #3 is really a favorite of Andy readers, so I add my congratulations to all the others. And I love her real name.

Happy Birthday “Sweet Genevive(Annelise)” Robert Shaw Chrorale).

@Number ThreeHAPPY BIRTHDAY, NUMBER THREE!!!!

OH MY GOODNESS!

I’m fighting back the tears here. Thank you all ever so much, everybody.

Number Six, Very adorable strip!

Yes… I’m the big 18 today.

The cakes and the ‘Tally Ho’ newspaper article and everything really caught my eye.

I honestly don’t know what to say… You’ll have to forgive me.

I’m welling up…

Thank you, somebodyshort!

You’re very sweet for remembering these past two years!

♥

Thank you, Gweedo! Enjoyed the song a lot.

Love the ‘Little Angel’ animation.

I hope you’re doing great today.

Thank you again!

♥

Whew! I’ve just realised that thanking everybody indivdually is taking me a long time so in that case so I’ll list names who I haven’t replied to yet…

Essex60, SusanSunshine, Beviek, x_Tech, Buggerlugs, Pcolli, Mythreesons, Mikeyj, Stagger Lee, Quartermain, Snoopy_Fan, Dry and Eldo.

You are all so sweet, amazing and kind… I still don’t know what to say.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

If I’ve missed anybody out then I’m really sorry… Just so many amazing Cappers!

Poor mother-in-law….Most of them are so sweet !

Brilliant, Andy!

oh, he’s just joking.he tied her up and stuffed her behind the couch

9 o’clock on a Sunday morning in my time zone and 67 comments already?!!!! I might have to move to Andy’s neighborhood (not that they’re likely to have me: I’d decrease the quality of not only Andy’s neighborhood but the rest of his time zone…….) Happy 18th birthday to Number 3, happy Sunday to the rest of the Cappers (and Pogoers), and always remember to never forget to….to….I forget the rest of it!

@Birthday GirlEven though I have retired from GoComics, I could not resist popping in to wish you a Very Happy 18th BIRTHDAYYou will always be in my thoughts.♥

Happy Birthday Sweet Number 3

Number 6, Bravo!! Loved todays issue of the Mad Capps, thank you for sharing your Mad skills with us Cappers!

Snowy Sunday Hugs ((((((( CAPPERS ! )))))))

Thank you again, Gweedo.

Did you go and see the ‘Hippy Buckaroos’ then? If you didn’t… What did you do instead?

Hope it isn’t too cold for you and I hope you’ve been enjoying your weekend.

And when Monday starts… Enjoy your week.

I guess we never WILL see Flo’s Mom!

And don’t cry too much #3, you’ll get your cake all mushy ;)

Number Three (or Annalise), is not our pet or mascot. She is an adult human being in her own right. Now she can vote and make her own mistakes. Her life as a grown up begins now..Let me know what it’s like No. 3…..I might grow up one day.

Happy birthday 3. May you have 82 more, at least. And may I be here to enjoy it also. One can dream can’t one?

I didn’t mean that Number Three was ordinary. I just thought that, as she is now an adult, she might feel better if we treated her as one.

You brought yourself, which is all that is necessary

While I think of it…..I don’t believe that Flo’s mum would allow Andy to “man-handle” her onto a bus back home. I see her as a rather “chunky” lady who takes NO nonsense from anyone.

You must still have some contacts, Number Six. (I mean SM). Oh no! That sounds a bit kinky.

I’m really glad that you enjoyed yourself.

Thank you again for your comments, Gweedo.

See you tomorrow!

Last comment for today…

Thank you so much to everybody for the birthday wishes, links and images.

And also your kindness, sweetness and generosity.

This Capper may be an adult now… But inside she’s still a little girl who loves comics and ‘Hello Kitty’ and ‘My Little Pony’

Some people either on this strip or on Ballard Street have asked for this Christmas drink recipe. I usually double the liquid ingredients , in order to make more and decant into attractive bottles with corks or stoppers and adorn a holiday bow . It really does taste like it’s name !Grandma’s Apple Pie ‘Ala Mode’ Moonshine>>INGREDIENTS:

Original recipe makes 21 cups

1/2 gallon apple juice1/2 gallon apple cider4 cinnamon sticks1 whole clove1 cup white sugar1 cup brown sugar3 cups 190 proof grain alcohol (such as Everclear®)2 cups vanilla vodka

<<<<<<<<Directions

Bring the apple cider, apple juice, cinnamon stick, whole clove, white sugar, and brown sugar together in a large pot;bring to low boil, stirring to dissolve sugar, reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely.Stir the grain alcohol and vanilla vodka into the cooled mixture. Pour into bottles and refrigerate.( I prefer a little more kicked up version with an additional 1/2 cup of the grain alcohol and 1/2 cup more of the vanilla vodka ).<><><>PREP5 minsCOOK20 minsREADY IN1 hr25 mins

I didn’t mean that Number Three was ordinary. I just thought that, as she is now an adult, she might feel better if we treated her as one.Nothing ordinary about our Starlet, half pint….she is a jewel…she has so much in front of her and I know her eyes adn heart are wide open to it all…I did try to post a pic showing my specialty, but it dissappered (copywighted I Assume) so its an ole timy one sortof…its just special as our birthday gir….

Just for you Annaliese

typos do vex me…hopefully she will get the point since there is no edit button….sigh…

Number 3, unfortunaty I said most of what I mean at BS’r and will try to cut and paste….in any event, I was trying to give you a grandmotherly hug and slip in a few stock bonds…God bless

Might be the last, (but with as much as the first!)Happy Birthday, Number 3!! Forever 18!!
