Happy Birthday, Red Oak Kid!

[Mike Kuypers]

Yes, while most of the country is commemorating Flag Day, in the Grand State of Texas it's Red Oak Kid Day! So wave your flags! Shoot your firearms! And venerate Neal Adams! Because it's Mac Patterson's birthday! Woo-hoo!

[Lone Ranger]

Bestest birthday wishes from north of the border, Mac!

[Graham Vingoe]

Yeah, best wishes from over this side of the atlantic

[Rob Allen]

And happy birthday from the Pacific Northwest!

Have fun!

[MWGallaher]

And from across the Mississippi, pal!

We'd mail you some icing for your cake, but its 90 degrees and sultry here in Minnie-sew-ta. NO snow or ice in these parts of late.

Despite that, the InfoBrokers (good and bad) wish you a Happy Birthday Mac.

As Ralph would say to Alice, You(all) are the GREATEST!

I'm wearing my Skateman T-shirt and plan to go into town later to whoop it up. But since the Sheriff took away my pistol last year, I won't be able to make any tenderfoots dance.

But I think after spending a few hours in the Longbranch I just might have me some fun by puttin' a burr under someone's saddle.

I don't think of ROK as having birthdays; with his astute powers of cover observation, his knowledge of Adams arcana, and his eye for just the right movie minutiae to use in his avatars, I think of him as on a par with the New Gods, the High Evolutionary and the Asgardians, a being beyond the bounds of time and place, an immortal.

Happy Birthday, youngster!

MWGallagher has already spoken for Alabama, so I guess I'll invoke the banner of my state of origin, Arkansas, in wishing you a happy one, ROK!

Though since at least half of us seem to be on dial-up, maybe we should just send postcards or try smoke signals ...

[Roquefort Raider]

Bonne fête from Quebec, ROK!

I see that the years haven't affected your incredible memory for comic covers.

Lots of fun on your birthday!

[Scott Shaw!]

Happy birthday from the Golden State, Mac! May your natal anniversary be "All New! All Now!"

Alohahaha,

Scott!

[Cei-U!]

Happy birthday, Mac! You're one of the good'ns!

Cei-U!
I summon the noisemakers!

[Cherokee Jack]

Happy Birthday from the Land of the Cheeseheads.

Whether it be your insane prowess on the Guess the Comic Book Cover game(of course we always let you win on that score;) ) or simply that infectious love of the comic book that you always put on display around these parts, and generously spread to your pals here, it's all enough to make me think that as I stand on the shoulder's of the many giants at CBR Classic, you ROK are one of those titans I most admire!

From Nova Scotia, Canada Happy Birthday to our own Crusty Bunker!

Happy Birthday, Mac, from the plains of Kansas.

Here's a shot of dear old ROK after a night of whoopin' it up at the Longbranch:

Happy belated birthday, Mac!

Happy Birthday Week, ROK, from Indian Lake (in Jersey, home of the Lenni-Lenape)!

Bunny and her crowd (http://www.oddballcomics.com/article.php?story=archive2001-05-01) think you're as zoovy as ever, and hopefully Merlin Jones and Annette stopped by with that flying, mechanical horse he was building you in his lab!

[Bill Angus]

Another birthday greeting from the land to the North... sadly a day late & a dollar short.

[C.O. Jones]

Hatty Birfday from rat cheer in TX, homey!
