Let's make this birthday one to remember.

92 years old (Born on September 19, 1932)

Happy Birthday, Mike Royko! If there were a Pulitzer Prize for making Chicagoans laugh while simultaneously shaking their heads in agreement, you'd win it every year. Over 7,500 columns and three decades later—your wit remains sharper than the wind off Lake Michigan.

From your legendary takedowns of political absurdities to capturing everyday life's quirks with unmatched humor—you've given us countless reasons to smile (and politicians plenty of sleepless nights). Here's hoping today brings you as much joy as you've brought readers over all these years—and may no deep-dish pizza ever disappoint you on this special day!
