Ronald ‘Carl’ Giles was one of the most well-known British post war cartoonists whose output appeared in the British newspapers The Daily Express and its sister paper The Sunday Convey between the dates of 1943 and 1991.
An animated cartoon is a short, hand-drawn (or created with computers to look similar to something hand-drawn) film for the cinema, tv or computer screen, featuring some sort of story or plot (even if it is a very short one).
As we all know, not all people have a keen memory for remembering things, especially when it comes to dates. It is important that we should be kept abreast of dates because we need to know when birthdays, anniversaries, weddings and other events are coming up.
There are so many birthday greeting cards available at every grocery and convenience store. Most of them have very similar designs and content, which is boring and predictable after years and years of getting the same thing. They require you to drive to go pick them up, go to the post office to get stamps and mail it, and then you have no idea what day it is actually going to arrive because there is a 2 to 8 day window for standard mail.
There are a lot of means to remember birthdays of our family and friends. We can scribble it on calendars or organizers and write it in memo stickers to remind us. However, we still tend to forget since we also forget to check on them as often as we should.
Not remembering the birthdays of people special to you can be more than just embarrassing. Just imagine yourself talking about how wonderful the morning is to your wife while your wife hands you your mug of coffee, waiting for you to greet her “happy birthday.” If it is your wife of more than ten years, you may no longer be embarrassed much.
