Normally, I draw a card for Dave, but this year I'm all digital...
Now where's that video of Seiler singing, "Happy Birthday" like a cheesy lounge singer...

Happy birthday to Dave!
From Wikipedia on who owns Peanuts .... On June 3, 2010, United Media sold all its Peanuts-related assets, including its strips and branding, to a new company, Peanuts Worldwide, LLC, a joint venture of the Iconix Brand Group (which owned 80 percent) and Charles M. Schulz Creative Associates (20 percent). In addition, United Media sold its United Media Licensing arm, which represents licensing for its other properties, to Peanuts Worldwide. United Feature Syndicate continued to syndicate the strip, until February 27, 2011, when Universal Uclick took over syndication, ending United Media's 60-plus-years stewardship of Peanuts.
In May 2017, DHX Media announced that it would acquire Iconix's entertainment brands, including the 80% stake of Peanuts Worldwide and full rights to the Strawberry Shortcake brand, for $345 million. DHX officially took control of the properties on June 30, 2017.
On May 13, 2018, DHX announced it had reached a strategic agreement for Sony Music Entertainment Japan to acquire 49% of its 80% stake in Peanuts Worldwide for $185 million, with DHX holding a 41% stake and SMEJ owning 39%. (SMEJ's consumer products division has been a licensing agent for the Peanuts brand since 2010.) The transaction will be effective June 30.
Happy Birthday, Dave. As a fellow Taurus, how does it "feel" to know that you will always be six years older than me, except for those oh-so-sweet 17 days per year? 😉
(sung somewhat breathlessly)
Happy...birth...day to you,
Happy...birth...day...to...you-oo,
Happy...birth...day,...Mr. President,
Happy......birth...day...to...you-oo!
How's this for an appropriate birthday present for Mr. Even-though-I'm-Canadian-I-watch American-politics-like-a-hawk? Today marks the one-year anniversary of the beginning of the Mueller investigation! Political Comics Metaphysics!!!
Happy Birthday, Dave!!

Belated birthday to Dave. I wanted to call and leave him a phone message telling him I still exist, but I got cold feet and instead spent the day editing my video on issue 186 (comic art metaphysics at work).
