Happy Birthday TJ!!!! And don’t forget to make a wish! I, too, noticed that Porsche 911 poster in the background. Wouldn’t that be an awesome birthday gift?
I agree that every day is a gift. I don’t expect anything special on a birthday, although a party every 10 years or so is good. It’s better to do something for someone else rather than just focusing on one’s self all the time. Just be grateful you get that day.
September 9th is the most common birth date in the U.S. I know 2 people—relatives— with that birthday. I also have 2 relatives born on Feb. 29, my nephew and my husband’s uncle.
When I was young boy I asked my dad how many people there were in the world. We hauled out the Encyclopedia Britanica and read about world population. As I recall, it was 2.2 billion. My, we humans have been busy, haven’t we?
birthdays are anniversaries, we celebrate them like we would any other annual event. A birthday isn’t a celebration for some accomplishment, but an affirmation that the people who know you like you enough to celebrate it.
TJ is something of a mystery. He’s good-looking, smart, accomplished (cooking and other things, and didn’t it come out in a strip, ages ago, that he speaks Italian?). But in sharp contrast to Les and some others, he seems to have no interest in, ahem, girls.

Toni will throw him a better birthday party after everyone leaves. She is an undercover agent.

What in the world happened to T.J.’s skin color? It looks very odd on my screen.

But is today really TJ’s birthday? He could be making it up, you know.

Interesting “math skills.” Maybe Tiffany Should move with you guys and take up residence in that new spare bedroom you just built.
I’m sure Toni won’t mind. Much.
Shannon, on the other hand…….., ;)

The moms should be celebrated for carrying them for 9 months and going through the pain of delivery.

TJ, buy Brad a Porsche, like the one on the wall, for his birthday.

That math was incorrect. You may have more people born on some days than others. You can’t do average.
Joe1962 Premium Member almost 5 years ago
The math is off.

Not having your birthday celebrated properly is definitely a First World Problem.
Billions of those people would be happy just to eat on their birthdays.

TJ is probably the coolest character in the whole strip. I predict him to be a successful megamillionaire in 20 years.

When everyone is special, no one is.

OK, now I’m curious about whether there’s a statistically significant variation in birth date distribution across the calendar year.

Each day is a celebration.
