Turtle Power. From the 80's until now, I've always loved it. Birthdays, Halloween, Christmas - everything somehow involved those lean, green fighting machines. Sifting through my collection of Ninja Turtles paraphernalia is like an archaeological dig. It's a museum of memories, a collection of cowabunga. And it's here for you to see.

Issue 16: Bodacious Birthdays
Happy Birthday to me. On October 27th of every year, I'm treated to a day of celebration. When I was a young gun in the late 80's and early 90's, a similar birthday invitation went out every year...
These parties were centered around the Ninja Turtles. Plates, napkins, balloons, the cake - Raphael even showed up one year!
But, as the years went on, the Turtles went out. Too cool for TMNT, my birthdays took a turn in a new, more mature direction. I'd be lying if I said Raphael was with me this year to blow out the candles on my birthday cake...
But after a long birthday-hiatus, the Ninja Turtles have returned. The recent creation of The Sewer Den has opened the door once again for Turtle, gift-giving opportunities. And boy, it was TMNT gifts galore!
Where these gifts came from remains a mystery to me. Mostly all of them are from the TMNT heyday, which makes them exceptionally special. So what treats was I unwrapping this year? Let's see how I celebrated this birthday...
