Happy birthday, uh...hey, wait a minute! The 1976 Super DC Calendar doesn't list anything for today. Lazy-ass DC writers, trying to convince me no one in the multiverse was born on January 6th? Uh uh, y'all, I ain't goin' out like that. I hereby declare that today is the day to wish a happy birthday to Tom "Pieface" Kalmaku

You know, speaking of the Super DC 1976 Calendar AS WE OFTEN DO, I am always amused that no two characters in the DC multiverse share a single birthday. Not even the doppelgangers. Not even in the future.

Makes things easier when they're passing the cards around the Satellite, I'm sure.

Don't Superman and Captain Marvel share a birthday? Even though Supes' is made up and the big red cheese just picked his because it was Superman's?

And speaking of Shazam, I love how the calendar lists a birthday for Mr. Mind. Who remembers a worm's birthday?

Bitch, you're so low, you remembered a worm's birthday!

Also, just to make this a thread about super-hero teams enduring office humor, how often do you think the Wasp ended up passing around the birthday card for yellowjacket, but everyone thought it was (the far more popular) Beast because all she'd say is "It's for Hank's birthday?" And then Yellowjacket gets the card back and Hawkeye has written "Hey Old Timer! I guess we know who to blame when we find blue hairs all over the mansion!" And then he draws an arrow and "Fuck shit up" written underneath it.

- the gang tries to figure out where to take Moondragon for her birthday

- Reed and Sue have a big fight and Wyatt Wingfoot and She-Hulk spend the whole workday feeling really uncomfortable

- Firebrand tells the Atom to get his own damn coffee

- the Vision breaks down and while the repairman is fixing him, they bring in a temp; it turns out the week before he was working for the Masters of Evil

- the Legion puts Princess Projectra's birthday card in a manila envelope to make it look like work, but it doesn't food her for a second

Catch me on AIM some time. There's something to that one ...

Speaking of that, you know what I think is inevitably adorable in comics? Whenever a hero with a heat-based power takes a moment to warm up someone's coffee or steak or something. WHO WOULDN'T DO THAT IF YOU COULD?? I'd be doing that all the time, to everything! "Oh, your ice cream need a little piping up? Hey, is your pencil too cold?" ZZAP!
