Description[]
It's Gladstone's first non-unlucky birthday following last year's events, but he doesn't seem to be getting into the spirit of the festivities, too absorbed by reminiscences of the past tragedies — most specifically, his parents' death…
Continuity[]
- The series is a sequel to The Sign of the Triple Distlefink (1998), one of the first birthdays Gladstone Gander has after he is freed from the curse that made him unlucky on such day.
Behind the scenes[]
This story is the 25th of a series of unofficial homages to the characters written and drawn by Sarah Jolley (author of the acclaimed comic The Property of Hate). It was released in 2019 for free on the Internet.
