Let's make this birthday one to remember.

76 years old (Born on April 04, 1949)

Happy Birthday, James Wilcox! May your day be filled with more laughs than a Tula Springs town meeting and fewer mishaps than the characters in "Modern Baptists." Your knack for capturing life's quirks has given readers countless smiles—here's hoping today returns the favor.

From crafting unforgettable tales set in Louisiana’s most charmingly dysfunctional fictional town to delighting us all with your sharp wit and timeless humor, you've truly made literary magic. Here's wishing you another year of success, inspiration, and perhaps fewer eccentric neighbors (though we secretly hope not). Cheers to many more chapters ahead—happy birthday!
