Let's make this birthday one to remember.

64 years old (Born on June 10, 1960)

Happy Birthday, Scott McCloud! May your day be filled with more joy than a comic book convention and fewer plot twists than a superhero reboot. Your groundbreaking works, "Understanding Comics" and "Reinventing Comics," have enlightened countless readers—finally giving us the perfect excuse to call comics "literature" without getting funny looks.

From championing creators' rights with the Creator's Bill of Rights to inspiring generations of artists and writers, you've truly been our industry's superhero (cape optional). Here's hoping your birthday is as timeless as your insights—and that you celebrate by reinventing cake-eating techniques in sequential art form. Cheers!
