Comic Description:

The comic features two characters: a bearded man wearing glasses and a colorful party hat, and a young girl with long dark hair, wearing a blue shirt and a small party hat. They are in a festive setting with a birthday cake that has six candles on a table.

Panel 1:

• Bearded Man: "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SALLY!"
• Sally: "BAH! It's just one more step toward the grave."

Panel 2:

• Another Character: "HEY! What kind of attitude is that?"
• Sally: "A year is just the arbitrary marking of the time it takes Earth to travel around the sun."

Panel 3:

• Bearded Man: "BIRTHDAYS AREN'T SOME SPECIAL STEP TOWARD THE GRAVE. EVERYTHING IS A STEP TOWARD THE GRAVE!"

Panel 4:

• Sally: "THEN WHY ONLY ON MY BIRTHDAY DO YOU REMIND ME OF THE THINGS THAT MIGHT KILL ME BY HAVING US WEAR SPIKED HATS, PUTTING FIRE NEAR MY FACE, AND FEEDING ME LOADS OF CHOLESTEROL?"

Panel 5:

• Bearded Man: "GOTTA HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR."

This comic humorously explores the concept of birthdays with a blend of lighthearted sarcasm and playful banter between the characters.
