December 29, 2024 - December 31, 2024 -
Graphics show birthdays and anniversaries on each day for the last three days of 2024.
This series started in January 1996, and has continued uninterrupted for 29 years. But times have changed and very few publications now use what used to be called single column graphics. We are therefore taking a break, as of the end of 2024, to review the series. In the meantime, the database developed to manage the events will continue to be available to subscribers at https://www.graphicnews.com/base/otd.php
