Drabble by Kevin Fagan for March 05, 2024

While the Hundred Years War lasted 116 years (including truces), the Thirty Years War actually lasted exactly 30 years!

Woot!!!

Historians do the assigning of labels.

Wendy didn’t age?

Congrats, Kevin. Looking forward to many years more. (Don’t panic.)

Happy Birthday! You keep drawing and we’ll keep reading.

45 and still just as ignorant. That’s like asking why World War 1 was named that since World War 2 hadn’t happened yet, did they expect another war? It was called the Great War until the next one came along and was even worse. Try to use that tiny little thing in your head Norman!

Too bad the archive only goes back to 1990.

Happy birthday!

poor wendy – being exasperated for 45 years now…

45 years? I had no idea it has been that long, congratulations!

Kinda looks like Norman FINALLY learned how to tie his shoes. Better late than never, all though it would have been HILARIOUS if they would have drawn in that his shoes were STILL untied.

Congratulations

Oh, to be 45 years old……again! LOL

Bask in the joy of success! ☺️❤️

Happy Anniversary!

Glad to see Wally looking concerned and Happy Anniversary to Drabble!

Blow out your cake Norm and eat your candles.

45 years. Congratulations. And Norm still hasn’t kissed Echo. Sigh.

…and Norman has been dense for 45 years.

Happy 45th anniversary Kevin! I remember when the strip started!

That’s a long time to keep a comic strip funny. Congratulations.

Norman looked a bit more mature back then. Note I said “looked”, not “was”. ;-)

Not a good explanation of the cause of the war, either.

Congratulations on the long run!

Near the start of the Thirty Years’ War, an agreement was made that whoever was judged to be ahead after thirty years would be declared the winner

World War One was called “The Great War” (and “The War to End All Wars”). I didn’t, and eventually they had to rename the Great War after World War Two came along.

CONGRATULATIONS in REACHING YOUR MILESTONE, KEVIN! 45 YEARS OF DRABBLE!

Forty-five years of Drabble, not Norman’s age, if one does the math…

Norman was already a certain age when the strip began, and then he aged, some, over those forty-five years…

I’d say that today Norman is older than his parents, as they haven’t aged at all…….

Congratulations on your 45th Anniversary. I’ve enjoyed this comic for many of those years. Thank you for the laughs.

Congratulation on 45 years, Mr. Fagan. Very nice interview in the OC REGISTER, too!

And still in the 8th grade.

Make sure not to tell June that Wendy was in the dream too. Happy anniversary.

I still have my copy of The First Book of Drabble somewhere!

Happy Birthday, Drabble! Thank you for the many years of fun and laughter! Here’s to many more!!!!!

And to more books, please, and the older ones in reprint so I can buy them, please. I want them all!!!

If Drabble is 45 years old, then why does GoComics keep taking me to January 11th, 1990 when I press the “first comic” button?

This is a rhetorical question. We all know why.

Happy Birthday, Drabble!! I believe I’ve been reading you for all those 45 years. I’m almost 76, so I’m certain I’m right. :-)

Happy 45th!

Happy 45, Kevin! So eye opening to know I’ve been out of high school nearly that long! (Class of 1980)

Congratulations, Mr Kevin.

Congratulations on 45 years of laughs!

congrats!

Congrats on 45 years!!!!!!1

1979! It was a different era, wasn’t it? I’d go back there in a shot if I could.

yes, yes he is

Happy 45th Anniversary!!!

Congrats Drabble on 45 years!!!

Congrats, Kevin! (may I call you Kevin?) Cutie Wally!

Congrats on 45 years and all that stuff! If it wasn’t for newspapers, I would not be reading this comic strip today!!! Thank you local newspaper for putting this comic strip into the comic section!!!

Happy Birthday, Kevin and the Drabbles!

I had no idea this strip was 45 years old. Thanks Mr. Fagan. And we hope you get to continue a little longer.

Congratulations Kevin for 45 years of Drabble!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ANNIVERSARY or WHATEVER FITS HERE.

Happy birthday to one of my favorite strips!

Happy 45th Anniversary, Drabble.

HE IS!!!!!!!!!
