    Well, we’ve arrived at yet another birthday to celebrate… Dry’s 60th birthday!

    “There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of” ….. GoComics’ vanished members.

    It is an area which we call …….. “The Banishment Zone”.(with apologies to the late Rod Serling)

    Join us in celebrating Dry’s birthday, and in letting her know how much we miss her!

    to SusanSunshine and JP Steve :

    So…is that the fashionable way to present a cake nowadays…with the cake serving utensils sticking out? I like it! No more groping around the kitchen drawer at the last minute, looking for the cake knife! And, if the cake is a little overbaked, you can SAW your way through it…very practical!

    (Certainly, the guards can’t be suspecting anything…!)

    Well, they both look yummy, so I’ll have a small piece of both whenever they do get served. Oh! Susan…can I have an extra pink flower, too? They’re soooooooooo pretty!

    And I even found this cake…

    Someone brought a flash drive to a bakery, and asked them to copy a picture from it for the top of a cake.

    Instead, they made a cake with a picture OF the flash drive on top.

    I guess you could say this cake is full of files too!

    @Dry

    Happy Birthday, Girl! May your day be filled with love, warmth and much fun and happiness. I have everybody’s birthdays on GoComics noted and I knew from yesterday that today was yours.

    Does anybody else think it’s rotten that a fun, loving person (i.e our Dry) is banned and has not yet been reinstated on one of the most important birthdays of their life so they can’t physically (or virtually) celebrate with their friends?

    Gee whiz!

    Anyway, HAPPY 60TH BIRTHDAY, DRY. We love you.

    Of course I will toast all at once. There are enough boozers that I know around here that if I don’t it will all be gone. Besides, I become much more interesting when consuming mass quantities of alcohol. At least I believe I am. I am sure Dry would agree.
