My Birthday!
Wednesday, January 07, 2009 - 12:58 PM
I forgot to mention my birthday, but I got a few dozen e-mails from readers who remembered from last year and dropped me a note...which was nice.
Since it's my birthday, can I ask you to do one kind thing for your friendly neighborhood cartoonist: Before the day is over, could you share Sheldon with *one person* in your life who has never seen/heard of the strip? That would be the bestest birthday gift ever, for me.
And sure, you can e-mail more than one person, or blog about it or whatever...but I know you're busy in life, so I'll just ask you to e-mail the strip to *one person*, if you can.
To make it easy, I'll even write up a basic e-mail you can modify and send. Just click here to send it!)
(Note: That link probably won't work on web-based mail systems like Yahoo/GMail/Hotmail. So here's the text you can copy/paste: )
Check out this comic strip 'Sheldon' at http://www.sheldoncomics.com -- I think you'll like it! New strips are up 7 days a week, and you can read it on the the site, via RSS, or by daily delivery to your e-mail. (Here's a good intro to the strip: http://www.sheldoncomics.com/new.html ).

Ha! I shared Sheldon with someone BEFORE I saw this post. That's how on top of things I am. Either that or the Artist's Decision Tree got brought up in a conversation and I just had to email the link so the other guy would know what I was talking about. Happy birthday, Dave!

Heck, I've been sharing Sheldon at least once per week since I first logged in here. Way ahead of you.
Happy Birthday, Dave.

Quothe Relishgargler: "Ha! I shared Sheldon with someone BEFORE I saw this post. That's how on top of things I am."
Ditto. I was wearing my Ninja/Manatee shirt today and someone commented on it. He said he wanted one so I showed him the website and the store.
Happy Barf-day, Dave!!

I always say that because it is usually the 1st day you barf too. Except in rare occasions like me. I was born at 11:59pm on St. Patty's day. (At least that is what the doctors said. My mother was obviously preoccupied, as was my father. But he was watching March Madness. A fact my mother still hasn't let him live down, even almost 32 years later. LOL)

Curiously enough, even though I didn't read this until Thursday (Happy belated birthday, Dave) I
still did as requested - in responding to an LJ discussion about Battlestar Galactica I linked to the "Starbuck has 300" strip.
Nice to know those "How to be a psychic in your spare time" classes are paying off.

Belated birfday wishes - and I sent your insta-link to a bunch of people, including a rabbi who's seriously into comics. :-)
Happy Birfday late!

Happy (late) Birthday wishes ^_^
I keep posting Sheldon strips that are uncomfortably close to life on FaceBook. I only joined this year after years of badgering from my friends, and I posted a FaceBook-related Sheldon strip to mark the occasion!

Happy Birthday Dave!
I heard about it on the WW podcast and totally meant to E-mail you but kinda forgot.. So this is the next best thing. I have also link many comics to my facebook weather my friends and family like it or not.
Oh and keep up the good work on WW podcast I love listening to it even though I have no desire to be a cartoonist or artist. The four of you are just hilarious.

Happy Birthday, Dave!
I hope you had a great one and got to spend it with your family and friends, not over the drawing board.
I never miss the strip, and thank you so much for delivering via email every day!
LOVE the Hammer time strip and immediately went to look at the "buy original art". I can't afford the original, but thanks for the memory!
Can't touch this!
