Happy Birthday, Martin Brown! May your day be filled with laughter brighter than a medieval plague doctor's shiny beak and happiness splashed generously like one of your delightfully gruesome illustrations. Your incredible drawings kept generations giggling through history lessons—who knew getting grossed out while learning could ever become timeless fun?From witty Vikings and snarky Egyptians to sarcastic Tudors galore, you’ve made the Horrible Histories spectacularly memorable. Congratulations on decades of doodling brilliantly bizarre images that even Roman emperors would envy. May this birthday sketch another brilliant chapter filled with adventures (and perhaps fewer revolting recipes!). Here's wishing our favorite illustrator more success, smiles—and slightly less "horribleness!"
