Let's make this birthday one to remember.

75 years old (Born on December 17, 1949)

Happy birthday to the incomparable Avi Katz—a man whose cartoons say more with a stroke of a pen than most can convey in pages. Anyone who has witnessed your mastery (and gentle humor) knows that the Bible never looked better—or funnier—than under your creative hand. Your illustrations breathe personality and wit into classics, delighting readers worldwide. Winning the National Jewish Book Award was merely confirmation of what we already knew: you're brilliant yet humble, insightful yet playful.

Here's to another year creatively sketching stories and drawing smiles! Stay timelessly sharp, just like your pencils. Mazal tov, Avi!
