Let's make this birthday one to remember.

78 years old (Born on July 16, 1946)

Happy Birthday, Dave Goelz! You've spent decades bringing joy and laughter to millions by giving life to our favorite Muppet misfits. Whether it's Gonzo's daring cannonball stunts, Fozzie Bear's timelessly terrible jokes ("Wocka Wocka!"), Zoot’s laid-back saxophone solos, or Dr. Bunsen Honeydew’s hilariously hazardous experiments—your talent has made each character unforgettable.

Thanks for countless laughs and heartwarming moments—from Gonzo serenading chickens to Dr. Honeydew accidentally shrinking Beaker (again). Your creativity continues inspiring generations of dreamers and weirdos alike. Here's wishing you a birthday filled with as much fun, chaos, and delightful absurdity as you've given us all these years!
