Let's make this birthday one to remember.

57 years old (Born on January 16, 1968)

Happy Birthday, Stephan Pastis! May your day be filled with fewer mistakes than Timmy Failure's detective agency and more laughs than Rat's cynical commentary. Your brilliant creation, Pearls Before Swine, continues to charm readers daily—proving that even crocodiles with questionable culinary skills can become timeless comic icons.

Congratulations on the ongoing success of "Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made," which not only topped bestseller lists but also reminded us all that embracing our flaws is hilariously human. Here's hoping this year brings you endless inspiration—and perhaps a few less puns (though we secretly love them). Cheers to another fantastic trip around the sun!
