Let's make this birthday one to remember.

42 years old (Born on July 08, 1982)

Happy Birthday, Pendleton Ward! May your day be as delightfully weird and wonderfully whimsical as the Land of Ooo itself. From creating unforgettable characters like Finn, Jake, Princess Bubblegum, and Marceline to giving us countless quotable moments ("Mathematical!" anyone?), you've truly made animation algebraically awesome.

Your imaginative storytelling has earned Adventure Time numerous Emmy and Annie Award nominations—proof that quirky adventures with talking dogs and candy kingdoms resonate deeply with audiences everywhere. Here's hoping your birthday is filled with epic quests (or at least cake) worthy of a hero like you. Keep inspiring our inner adventurers for years to come!
