On this date in history?¢‚Ǩ¬¶

[Serial Hero]

Today?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s my birthday. I turned the big 3-1. I made it through the first year of my 30?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s.

In honor of this my work gave us a three day weekend. Sure, they keep saying something about Monday being Presidents Day, but I know it?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s really to celebrate me.

 

[The Wolf]

also on your birthday

Lee Falk's "The Phantom" first appeared in newspapers on Feb. 17, 1936. He beat Superman as a costumed comic hero by two years.
In other comic strip news Blondie Boopadoop became Blondie Bumstead when she married Dagwood on February 17 in 1933.

Happy birthday,
The Wolf

2/19: US Marines land on Iwo Jima, 1945

As John in Covina pointed out the 2006 calendar is the same as 1939.
In that spirit on Saturday, February 18, 1939 the Golden Gate International Exposition opened. An island was made for the event: Treasure Island.

Happy Belated Birthday. Mine is on March 4th and I will be 37. On my day Lincoln was Inaugerated as President in 1860 or 61 and it is Confederate Flag Day here in North Carolina.:cheers1:
