Dr. SmartyPants isn’t exactly a giant, but I had to give it a title, didn’t I?
Two. More. Days.
More fun facts…On August 29 in…
1521 – The Ottoman Turks capture Nándorfehérvár, now known as Belgrade.
1526 – Battle of Mohács: The Ottoman Turks led by Suleiman the Magnificent defeat and kill the last Jagiellonian king of Hungary and Bohemia.
1541 – The Ottoman Turks capture Buda, the capital of the Hungarian Kingdom.
I have an ottoman. I’m thinking of changing my name to Diahn the Magnificent.
Anyway – what was up with those Ottoman Turks and August 29? Must have been a good luck day or something.
Oops – maybe not…
In 1904 – Murad V, Ottoman Sultan (b. 1840) died.
Whoa. Check this out. Ingrid Bergman? The actress? That was born on August 29, 1915?
She died on August 29, 1982.
Not cool.
I wonder if Ingrid Bergman was in any way an Ottoman Turk?
Diahn the Magnificent.
Waaaay cool.
I love this drawing! You have such a sensitive touch with a pencil.
I won’t say bon anniversaire yet – I’ll be sure and tune in tomorrow!
So funny – I can’t even remember my 40th now, it must have came and went! Lovely sketch! Oh, and to qute the Mad Hatter, a Very Happy un-Birthday to you!
Cool sketch Diahn. Yes, the angle makes him look like a sleepy Giant.
