Today's NO PUN INTENDED

Happy Birthday! (12/5/05)



There's nothing really that I can write here that no one wouldn't already know. Perhaps the most famous man involved with animation of all time. How many other people's last name's are synonymous with fun?

So here's a "Wonderful World" of Happy Birthday to...
WALT DISNEY!

Mickey's dad would have been 104 today.

Today's NO PUN INTENDED

(speaking of red headed actresses....)

Happy Birthday! (12/3/05)



Many remember her work in The Lost World: Jurrasic Park 2 or Magnolia or The Big Lebowksi or even The Hours, but for me, I'll never forget her lengthy full-frontal nudity scene in the excellent Short Cuts.

So here's a "no, she's the OTHER red headed actress" Happy Birthday to....
JULIANNE MOORE!

Amber Waves is 45 today.

More neat Lost stuff!

Here are a couple more of those neat little Lost stuff you may have missed:

Fellow cartoonist Robert Bienvenu pointed this out on the Captain Comics message board. From this excellent Adam Hughes Catwoman cover, note her prisoner number!


And check out this still from this week's episode.



Look who's on the television set at the recruiting office of Kate's father.


Lost is one of those rare TV shows that you actually have to watch to get it.

Today's NO PUN INTENDED

Happy Birthday! (12/2/05)



I guess we can forgive her for appearing in those LOUSY Charlie's Angels films, since she appeared (as herself and a robot of herself) on Futurama and as Madam Wu on The Simpsons.

Here's a "Kill Bill" Happy Birthday to...
LUCY LIU!

The ex-girlfriend of Jerry Maguire is 37 today.

Today's NO PUN INTENDED

Happy Birthday! (12/1/05)



If you can get past all the "marrying his step daughter" stuff and just focus in on his work, like Take the Money and Run and Sleeper and Love and Death and Annie Hall and Crimes and Misdemeanors and Radio Days and.... well you're not going to see a better collection of funny movies from anyone else.

So here's a "Do the Chameleon" Happy Birthday to...
WOODY ALLEN!

The guy who wrote and performed one of the funniest stand-up bits ("The Moose Hunt") of all time, is 70 today.
