I’m 32. I feel like I should do something Christ-like for my next birthday(January 6), though I never really do anything for my birthday. I typically just get presents in the days surrounding my birthday as schedules align. Maybe I should spill some water at work & walk on it. Jesus, I hope I’m not still working at the restaurant in a year…
This is the first time that I’ve opened up your comic, read the first panel, and immediately started chuckling at the possibilities of what was coming. Fortunately, you delivered. Another stellar comic

I’ve never heard of a Jesus party for the 33rd, but I ued to hang out in a crowd where there were a bunch of 33-⅓ parties. Or are you too young to remember vinyl?
Excellent stuff and if it wasn’t because I’m already Jesus-and-a-half I would definitely be celebrating my next birthday like that.
Adam, there are days when all I can say is, “Does the nurse know you have access to the internet?”
Yes and it’s very therapeutic. (I’m totally his nurse. No lie.)

*unwaps present*
“Oh! A Jenny Craig Point Calculator.”
Thanks, party Judas.
Ha-ha! Love the concept of a “Party Judas.”
I kinda suspect they might have been the one responsible for that last party game, too?
Aww, Party Judas… is this 30 pieces of silver in pennies? You and your gag gifts.
Reminds me of your warning against ‘Jesus-ing one’s self.’
Ooh, I need to remember this for my 33rd birthday
Luckily most everyone I know are atheists.
Aaahh!! The 33rd. For my 33rd I was having an emergency colonoscopy before two serious colo-rectal surgeries…
Ahh, Youth. Enjoy it while you can.

Thanks!
Damn, now I just *want* to do this when I turn 33… Though I’ll have probably forgotten by then…
My 33rd birthday is this November 19th, thanks for the helpful birthday celebration ideas!
My birthday’s coming up. Since I’m three decades older than dirt, thanks to you, I’ll be doing a Mother of God thingy.
Woops! That’s thanks to you for the theme, not thanks that I’m older than dirt.
This may be tied for funniest Bug strip ever! Now I’ve got to think about who’s going to turn 34.
What strip is it tied with?
Let’s just see what I’ve permanently bookmarked…
Here’s one:
The “comically absurd amount of cancer” from Nov 19, 2009

Oh, how I wish I was still approaching my 33rd. Well, for many reasons actually. But now this just tops it all.
Bonus: that hangover that leaves you feeling like you’re dead for 3 days after the party… now there’s a reason for it!
Nice one Adam! I am pleasantly surprise no one in here is screaming heresy! Good to see!
…I almost peed my pants laughing with the crown of cupcakes…
Yeah, I was a bit worried that the last panel would catch some flak.
Meh, we know what you’re like by now
Well, it did cross the line for me. I’m sure someone will scamper over and stomp on the line anyway. Balderdash is a fun word.
It CROSSED the line? I have a feeling that you NAILED it.
Jesus Jiménez, brother to José Jiménez right?
“Balderdash” is such a lovely word.

Daddy, why didst thou not come to my party? Matthew 27:46

Bah, that should be 33-1/3, stupid comic box apparently doesn’t do entities.
I want to see a bunch of variations on that last panel with a string of different absurd board games. Hi-Ho Cherry-O, anyone?
My old pastor mentioned on his 34th birthday that he was “older than Jesus”
I celebrated my 34th birthday under the heading:
“Older than Jesus, but not as old as God”.
I’d just like to point out that tying someone to a cross would still be fatal. The nails are just used to add torture.
Can someone explain the joke? I’m dumb.
