Please join me in thanking my folks, as they did all the work for the first few decades.
And if you'd like to do something nice for your friendly neighborhood cartoonist on their birthday, I'll humbly suggest one thing: Maybe consider telling two people in your life about Sheldon. I know it sounds cheesy, but you'd be amazed how many folks come to the strip by word of mouth. It would be the nicest thing you could do for me on my birthday!
Thanks!
