Let's make this birthday one to remember.

55 years old (Born on October 18, 1969)

Happy Birthday, Sam Henderson! You're the genius who brought laughter to Bikini Bottom and made SpongeBob even more delightfully absurd. Your Emmy-nominated storyboard magic has given us countless hilarious moments—like Patrick's epic cluelessness or Squidward’s eternal grumpiness—that we'll cherish forever.

May your birthday be filled with as much joy and silliness as you've gifted audiences worldwide. Keep sketching those timeless laughs; after all, anyone who can make a sponge wearing pants iconic deserves endless cake and celebration. Here's hoping this year brings you even more success—and fewer encounters with jellyfish stings! Happy Birthday, cartoon maestro extraordinaire!
