How do you know when it is your fish’s birthday? Simple. He tells you.
For Clifford’s birthday, Erma did exactly as Clifford asked. She even gave him a present: a picture for his wall.
Now Clifford can look outside his tank and see a picture of himself and all of the things that he gets to look at 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There’s his bridge, his gravel, his fake purple flowers, and even the bottom of the filter.
Clifford seems to think that Giant Fake Clifford is his enemy. He gets all puffed up when he looks at himself. He gets that way around Flathead, too.
Here’s a chill flake, Clifford. Just relax and enjoy the show you are starring in. And have a happy birthday!




I love Erma’s portrait of Clifford. She did a great job!
Clifford’s a popular guy, that’s for sure! Maybe he wants a companion for his birthday.
What a cute idea! E’s picture is fantastic.
Happy Birthday Clifford! Sometimes I get angry when I look at pictures of myself too.
You are so creative! I love it that you made up a birthday for your fish!
Me? Oh nooooo, that was all Clifford. He and I just happen to have similar handwriting.
That is adorable. That’s got to be the best fish birthday present ever.
Hah, soon he will be surrounded by pictures of himself!
