Title: Didn't ANYONE remember to get a birthday cake? Post by: dto on February 29, 2012, 11:30:58 AM ???
I can't BELIEVE I'm the only one in this Forum so far wishing Superman a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! No wonder Supes still looks so young -- he only celebrates a birthday every four years!

Long time no read! :) I DID remember Superman's birthday, and even posted it on my blog! http://mycomicboardbanners.blogspot.com/2012/02/happy-birthday-superman.html (http://mycomicboardbanners.blogspot.com/2012/02/happy-birthday-superman.html) ;) And here's the card, too! :) (http://i39.tinypic.com/72ukw4.jpg) Title: Re: Didn't ANYONE remember to get a birthday cake?

"Happy Birthday, Superman!" I see that Supermanica has been restored just in time for the celebration. Thanks, Rao! Title: Re: Didn't ANYONE remember to get a birthday cake? Post by: TELLE on March 01, 2016, 03:59:29 AM I tried spreading the word to everyone I talked to on Monday and of course got mostly quizzical looks! Happy Birthday to Supes and the old gang here!

Title: Re: Didn't ANYONE remember to get a birthday cake? Post by: Great Rao on March 02, 2016, 02:09:43 PM I spent a bit of time trying to track down an image that showed Superman's birthday to be Feb. 29, but didn't know off-hand where it has been mentioned. Was it only in the calendar?
Title: Re: Didn't ANYONE remember to get a birthday cake? Post by: TELLE on March 03, 2016, 05:04:28 AM I think first in a letter column in World’s Finest 164 and then in For the Man Who Has Everything:

Note that the original Earth-One Jason Todd officially became Robin that same month in Batman #368, so he was VERY "new to the job" when introduced to Wonder Woman in "For the Man Who Has Everything". But he proved to be a quick study -- figuring out how to defeat Mongul with a potted plant! ;)
That was probably Pre-Crisis Jason's finest hour. I still hate what they did to him afterwards... >:( Title: Re: Didn't ANYONE remember to get a birthday cake? Post by: Gernot1962 on September 02, 2017, 04:21:18 PM Jason Todd REALLY hated what was done to him after the Crisis! ;)
Title: Re: Didn't ANYONE remember to get a birthday cake? Post by: dto on February 28, 2020, 04:49:49 PM Good thing I arrived a day early -- was tough climbing up to the Fortress door. In the past, there were times when snow would almost block the keyhole. Must be global warming...
Amazing -- my old access code still works. It took a while for me to remember it, but I'm back with a cake again. Hmm... no trace of my last visit, not even the cake platter. I guess SOMEONE still drops by the old place besides myself. Well, time to light the candles. "Happy Birthday, Kal-El." Whew. Now for the long trip back. Don't know how many times I can continue this ritual, but-- Wait. The candles are out already? Where's the cake? All right, hope you enjoyed it. See you in another four years!
