Yes, today is the Master's birthday! So rise from you chairs, work desks, toilets, or wherever you may be, and sing...

"Happy Birthday to You.

Happy Birthday to You.

Happy Birthday Dear Mr. Moore.

Happy Birthday to You!"

Now blow out them candles, Mr. Moore, and make a wish.

Hmmm... I wonder what Alan Moore would wish for? Probably for me to disappear for putting up this corny journal!

Anyway... if by miracle Mr. Moore should read this, "Thank you for all your brilliant work and for sharing your divine wisdom with us all. It goes without saying you are a creative genius and a sage. What you have done to legitimize our beloved medium cannot be overstated. Wherever you are (probably roosting at home or at a pub in Northampton), I hope you enjoy your day!"

For the readers: Share your thoughts on what you love about Mr. Moore. I could go on forever, but I think it's best for others to share their comments.

But before I leave, I just want to say, if you are fan of Alan Moore, or just want to know more of his incredible body of work, pickup a book called "Alan Moore, Storyteller" by Gary Spencer Millidge, published by Universe Publishing in the U.S. (http://www.rizzoliusa.com/book.php?isbn=9780789327116) and The llex Press Ltd. in the U.K. ( http://www.ilex-press.com/books/alan-moore-storyteller/). Awesome Book!

Happy Birthday Alan!
