Measles just can’t stop dealing, not even to ease his pain.

Good morning everyone…

Thanks for all the nice comments and birthday wishes! They made an old man happy.

Vista Bill enjoying his Birthday.

Wishing you a day filled with everything you could hope or ask for on your special day!

Happy Birthday, VB, and many more!

Happy Birthday, Vista Bill!

I saw a lot of those old type monitors at the recycleplace the other day. Everything now is flat screen.HAPPY BD VISTA BILL

Happy Birthday VistaBill!!!!!! (and I thought I was gonna be an early bird this morning!)

I couldn’t get Moonmaid, but maybe this will doHAPPY BIRTHDAY VISTA BILL!

OH, and now that the distraction is over, I’ll say once more, long live VB. This site just wouldn’t be the same without you!

I don’t really know you (I’m new here), but, hey have a great B-day!

This is a South Park av I made… basically, it’s me… without the bald spot :P

Happy Birthday, VistaBill! And many more!

measles will probably get his gun out and get those things real cheap.

Happy birthday, VistaBill!…………………………………………Meanwhile, Measles is falling for a classic con from his new pusher. Or so it seems….

Happy Birthday VistaBill!

OK… so Measles bids 2 pieces of pizza box of prescription pain killers. Right? Hee, I’m living too clean, aren’t I?

Happy birthday Vista Bill!

How do you add pictures to the comments here?

Happy Birthday, VB! Wishing for you what you wish for yourself. Cheers!

Happy birthday, Vista Bill.

FWIW, I’m still running XP media center here. It works, but sometime in the next year I’m going to have to replace it. I’ll likely have to make a clean sweep and replace everything while I’m at it.

Happy Bithday, VistaBill. May you have many more.

Vista Bill’s Birthday? Happy Birthday VB!

And Pain patches? is the Pizza guy/dopefiend gonna wind up like Bookie?

Happy Birthday, Vista Bill, from another October baby.

Happy Birthday Vista Bill from Ohio…

As a daily reader and a fan of all those who regularly comment, I’d like to wish Vista Bill a very happy birthday! And many more!

Happy Birthday to VistaBill, our Voice of Reason! (On a side note, VB, Halloween IS my birthday. As a small child, I always thought it was great that everyone was coming to our front door, but wondered why my parents were giving all my candy away!)

Are those morphine patches? Measles is going to be in a world of hurt if he starts using those.

Happy Birthday VB!!!

@SDM.I believe you were correct yesterday, about the strip being out of sequence. Today’s strip seems like it should have been yesterday’s and Vice Versa.

Happy Birthday VistaBillfrom Canada

Happy Birthday, VistaBill! And good morning as well!Thanks for keeping us on track around here.

Happy Birthday, Vista Bill.

I worked for over 20 years as a typesetter and graphics designer. That was many years ago. When I started out, we used hot lead then paper tape. I ended up working on a large Varityper so I also am quick to notice typos. But for your comments, Vista Bill, I always give a big STET.

Happy Birthday Vista Bill.

Those pain patches are DANGEROUS! When my SIL’s dad was dying, he had those patches and the care they had to take in just disposing of the used ones was unbelievable. They always wore gloves in dealing with them because they are so strong the slightest touch on the “business” side could OD someone who wasn’t used to it.

I don’t comment much here, but I enjoy the repartee, and I especially love seeing Vista Bill’s good morning every day. Happy birthday big guy! <3

HAPPY 24TH VISTA BILL! :-D as for todays strip… dont negotiate with Measles.. it NEVER works out in your favor!~ lol!

Tarry’s birthday wish inspired me. This was a massive pic I had to downsize—hopefully enough. Have a great day, VistaBill!

Happy anniversary of the day of your birth, VistaBill!We’ll both be riding another storm out in a couple of days, something to look forward to… :-P

Wow! What a day for me! Thanks everyone for all the nice greetings and pictures. You guys made an old man very happy!

“I bet she has special powers…..She may not have Mjölnir, but she can do some crazy things with that microphone! ;-)

May need to re-read today’s comments. just to be sure, but I don’t think there was one snarky one in the bunch. Now, THAT’s a birthday tribute to VistaBill!
