Free Birthday Cards. It's the thought that counts, isn't it?

So, you need to send an appropriate birthday card. Well, obviously, you’re in the wrong place - or are you? I’m not trying to offer funny birthday cards here. The reflex is purely involuntary, I assure you. I’m convinced that if women didn’t exist, neither would birthdays. Nor cutlery, but that’s another topic. The point is, as far as online birthday cards go, these e-cards have one noteworthy advantage, which is that they’re free. And as any alliterative person of means might suggest, the spending of shekels is but a sad substitute for sincerely-stated sentiment. If you want to say ‘Happy Birthday’, well these ecards are the best free birthday cards that money can buy. And by the way, you’re welcome.

Birthday Ecard with text: I'm sorry I cannot celebrate your specific birthday this year because it turns out that All Birthdays Matter.

about this card: all birthdays | Life's been boring lately apart from a global pandemic, murder hornets, millions saying the virus is a hoax, plus riots, nitwits who think masks don't need to cover their noses, people posting on social media about Bill Gates using 5G for mind-control, and billionaires using social media for, um, actual mind-control, plus Nazis and possibly another plague but everything's fine I guess how are you.

Birthday Ecard with text: I am giving you this Birthday Card even though you haven't done anything sufficiently sexual in nature to deserve it. Oh look, this bed is empty. (A picture of a bed)

about this card: insufficient | Birthdays are a chore, especially if you're like me and celebrate your Birthday every couple of months with a different group of friends. I find there's safety in numbers. Of identities.
Birthday Ecard with text: Happy Birthday. The other good news is that your need need to make long-term plans is decreasing year by year.

about this card: long term plans | Did you know only 12 million Americans believe that the USA is secretly run by lizard people? It's a very disappointing statistic but lizards are good at disinformation. Today's wrongcard is for birthdays so why, then, am I talking about lizard people? Oh who knows why I do anything.
Birthday Ecard with text: Be careful when you are cutting your birthday cake in case in contains a nest of spiders. Lunging at spiders with a knife might make them misinterpret the situation.

about this card: spiders are sensitive | It's someone's birthday today, maybe not yours or mine but it's someone's; it's commonsense. I know lots about people and most of what I know about people I learned from spiders. Though wasps, when you think about it, are a kind of winged spider. Spiders don't hum like wasps, they just whistle. Nobody really knows why.
Birthday Ecard with text: As you get older, plastic surgery can be prohibitively expensive,and wasteful if you already have a friend who has a book on the subject, a pair of scissors and a willingness to learn new skills.
Birthday Ecards view send
about this card: willingness to learn | I'll go ahead and admit it: today's card is silly. Usually I like to keep things pretty serious here because we live in grave, uncertain times and I don't want anyone to think I'm a frivolous person. Still, I can joke about cosmetic surgery because I'd never spoil a surprise. People love surprises. "Wake up! While you were sleeping I fixed your nose! Now you have two!" I am awesome at friendship...
Birthday Ecard with text: Happy Birthday. And remember: heart disease kills about one in every four people.

about this card: birthday heart | If you know someone who is having a birthday right now you have to send them today's wrongcard. Because it's, like, Providence or something that this card should appear in your life and you have to do it. To ignore Providence is like ignoring God. And we don't do that, okay, because there will be floods and I'll have to build an Ark. If I build an Ark I'm not inviting any bears on-board. Screw that.
Birthday Ecard with text: In accordance with some societal conventions that I surmised all by myself, I am sending you a card with the words HAPPY BIRTHDAY written on it. Here is a picture of a dead rat. Clip art is expensive.
Birthday Ecards view send
about this card: the one with the rat | It's a good rule of thumb that you should always be nice to other people or else they won't give you a piece of cake on their birthdays. You can elect not to be nice and instead sneak into their houses and eat their cake while they're sleeping but take it from me, Cake Burgling is not the caper-filled dream job that we all grew up hoping it would be. So be nice to people today, okay? And send this card to someone!
Birthday Ecard with text: Happy Birthday. And if at midnight a demon appears in your room talking about some contract I supposedly signed in your name, just ignore him. He is not to be taken seriously and is merely confused.

about this card: midnight contract | I hate seeing humanoids with black eyeballs. It makes it so much harder to relate to them. Now I'm not a judgmental person (except when I take an instant dislike to someone because I don't like their hat) but if I see a reptilian creature with bat wings I cross the street. I think it's because I don't want to get caught up in all their drama.
Birthday Ecard with text: Happy Birthday. Right: Picture of a dog holding someone's hand.

about this card: canine motif | "You didn't give me a Birthday card," she said. "Oh that's right, your Birthday is in September. When is it exactly?" "It was two weeks ago." "Hmm, I should buy you a card." "You OWN a greeting card company!" "That's right, I do - so can I make you a card, then? It's just that it would be cheaper for me." "Alright," she said, "but I want it to be a nice card. A picture of a puppy or something."
Birthday Ecard with text: You have left the mainstream experience, you are disuniting from the collective, you are undergoing dissociation. Happy Birthday.

about this card: birthday zebra | “But do you understand it?” I asked a friend. He said, ”I'm seeing a birthday zebra that's troubled by its temporary individuality, isolation and detachment, but will happily return to the unremarkable anonymity of herd experience tomorrow”. I looked at him and said: “Actually I just wanted to draw a zebra."
Birthday Ecard with text: Happy Birthday. You're going to get old and live in one of thousands of identical boxes and then get sad and die. But today is not the day to think about that, ok?
Birthday Ecards view send
about this card: identical boxes | Do you know anybody having a birthday this weekend? If so, this is not really the best card to send them. Unless you're giving them a completely rubbish present and you want to draw attention away from it. I once gave someone a chocolate bar wrapped up in gift paper, but that was before chocolate bars got so expensive.

Wrongcards and the Mind Virus

I've been revisiting some of my older cards. Some of them are inexplicable.

A Not So Cricketty Christmas

Some games of cricket can last for weeks. In fact, I think that's one of the reasons I moved to America.

The Infernal Terracotta Pot

I slightly injured myself. Then, whilst forced to do nothing at all, I began to wonder about my own mental well-being.

Strange Passage, Part Two

And then I was locked up in a holding cell, wondering what to do next.

Strange Passage, Part One

I tell you, it really makes a man think.
