Birthday Greetings

There are a number of greetings for this year, Mattel’s Barbie turns 50 this year. You’d never guess to look at her.

DC Comics is turning 75, and Batman is 70 which makes him a year younger than Superman. Don’t ask me how old Albert, he must be pushing up the daisies by now.

Marvel also turns 70, it founded as Timely Publications in 1939. Their first hero was Human Torch.

Sesame Street turns middle aged at 40.
