Peter Arno's Insider: More from a Blogger's Birthday Wish List

Once again I've reached another birthday, and still I haven't ever seen a pretty young woman pop out of a cake. I don't really expect to. I must not be traveling in the right circles.

Cartoonist Peter Arno, on the other hand, would seem to have been in just the right circles, so I'll have to rely on his expertise. (The truth is, in lieu of the entertainment, I'd rather have this original artwork! --Just in case you're going shopping for me and can somehow locate it.)
