    I’m sorry I missed it. I get so little time off and you need more than the weekend to go these kinds of events.
    Hey, Wil? Maybe you can do that L.A. book singing now??????
    Huh? Huh?

    I missed your actual day by about 34 minutes, but still wanted to wish you a spectacular birthday, and a great and fulfilling year.
    Cool pic….. badass is a good description… but it’s real hard to buy knowing what a nice guy you are…….

    Hey Wil HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Also I need to THANK YOU ENDLESSLY for being at SDCC and for being so nice to me!! Meeting you was the highlight of my week-end!! And that’s an understatement… it was my first SDCC and my last… the whole week-end was truly a nightmare for me and my boyfriend, EXCEPT for meeting you!! You made my dream come true… you might remember me and the tall blonde girl with the huge french accent who told you she sympatieses with you about your cat (in your Happiest Days book)! So thank you again for being so nice and taking the time to sign all my stuff and taking a pic with me! Really truly appreicate it! Annie

    I’ve been a long time reader of your blog and still love it :). Most days when I wake up I can’t wait to jump on here and see whats going on with ole’ Wil, and after seeing the picture here, that does in fact make you look quite badass, I had to finally buy the book, and see what all the fuss is about 🙂

    You do look badass! Like the King of all Geeks! *hands you shiny hat and scepter, possibly a mantle as well cause mantles are HOT!
    I’m sorry the birthday greetings I bring you are a day late, I am a feminine cleaning product…and the bag it came it, and I…forgot *hangs head in shame* That said:
    This is your birthday song, it isn’t very long. Hey!

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY WIL! I celebrated your birthday by mentioning your b-day on my two pages.

    I just wanted to add a public thanks to Miss Kitty (who emailed me re: my ‘shop, and is in fact awesome).
    Cheers!

    Happy belated! You looked approximately 93% this cool in person (pretty good percentage, since this is an awesome photo!)
    Reading your SDCC Twitter feed all in a row really fast is amazingly like being there. Hysterical!
    Enough randomness. I owe you an email. 🙂

    Off topic, but I thought the TNG references in today’s Thunderstruck were cool:

    Okay, Wil, this is totally off the topic of these comments, but it cracked me up, so I had to share.
    Tonight, while playing World of Warcraft, I had to return a rotten egg to someone. This egg made everyone in the vicinity start tossing their cookies. (Visually stimulating, let me tell you.) At one point, one of the characters yells out, “It’s a complete and total barf-o-rama!” It was great, ’cause all I heard was Gordie’s voice. 🙂
    Good to see you at CC. Hope your birthday was awesome!!

    Please all thanks go to Wil.
    All I did was get on my knees and shoot.
    ^_~
    And then you made my pic so much cooler Matt!
    Thank you again to everyone who has commented with love for it.
    I hope you had just as awesome a birthday as I did Wil!

    Damn, Wil, you look good with a beard.
    Just found the awesome photo of you with Felicia Day, too, over here:

    You could totally play an evil genius now. Maybe Dr. Horrible could use a rival?

    Let’s face it our palm flowers went black 15 years ago, may the sand man never find us. So run fellow, runner, run well.Maybe I ran a couple of months before you, since I’m a May be baby.For those to young and wandering the hell I’m saying. I’m talking about ‘Logans Run’ The photo is a nice example of foreshortening. I remember having to draw those routinely in art school. Have a good one but I may not be able to go with you on the big 40. I’m staying thirtysomething for life.

    Hehe…it’s really kinda cool. I like it! Thanks for posting!

    I think it needs a caption that says “I see what you did there.”
    I could possibly be sleep deprived, though.
