My sister just put one candle representing each decade on my birthday cake last month, when I had my 50th. I didn’t realize that I’m the same age as the Wizard of Id!
When my grandfather turned 80 we put 80 candles on a normal-sized cake. The individual flames merged into one giant one. In retrospect, not a great idea.

I have always associated BC and the Wizard of Id, but don’t remember which was first. Anybody know?

BC was syndicated and had a Dr. Pepper contract before Wiz was launched. Think Johnny Hart was co-creator.
