This Day in Drabble History: March 4th & March 5th
1979, 1992, 2006, 2008, 2022
Hi everybody!
As many of you know, tomorrow is Drabble’s 45th anniversary in newspapers. People have asked if I have any big plans for tomorrow. As a matter of fact, yes. I’m going to empty my pencil sharpener. I do it once a year, and it brings me great joy for some reason. Maybe I’ll make a video so you can share the excitement.
Today I’ll show you the strip that ran on March 5, 1979. But first, here are 3 strips from March 4th.

Wow, the pencil sharpener. You know how to party! But seriously of course, Happy Anniversary and Happy Birthday to the Misses. 45 years, most of my life! Been following since about Year 2 and been there ever since. I love the strip so much and just happy it's been there every day for me. Thanks Kevin. And I think I speak for the group, we'd love some sort of big retrospective book spanning the decades! That and a Bob plush :-)
Although it’s been said many times many ways (thank you Mel Torme) in the other comments, Happy ___ Birthday to Mrs Kevin 🎉 (still waiting for her guest column) and a Happy 45th Anniversary to Drabble! 🎉 you’re just getting warmed up for the next 45 years!
Looking forward to the pencil sharpener vid! ✏️
