née today: Franklin Christenson “Chris” Ware
birth info: 28 December 1967

via Guardian: Ware grew up the single son of a single mother in Omaha, Nebraska. At school, he was “A real nerd. I kept to myself, afraid of being punched in the hallway in between classes, waiting for my male body to arrive, and it never really quite did.” Sigh. “It’s a story that most cartoonists can tell, I think. We’re endemically nostalgic people who turn our lives over and over and over again trying to figure out how we went wrong and fix things or control them, make sense of things.” Another sigh. “I don’t know.”
