The idea behind the Rebus isn't new (gnu?).  I got it from a Party 
Balloon (from Hallmark, I believe) I saw many Years ago, featuring 
artwork by "Boynton".  Of course, "The Happy Birthday Song" is 
copyrighted, too.  (I sure hope I'm not violating any Laws here ...)

At least the ASCII Artwork is my own, though I wouldn't be surprised 
if it had been subliminally inspired by work I've seen here.  (If 
someone feels I have stolen their stuff, please let me know so that I 
can give proper credit.)

Don
