40 Awesome Things About Andy Herald
It’s not often you get to meet people who are that rare combination of funny and smart. They’re like some kind of misunderstood unicorn. It makes you wonder how they managed juggling both traits, which inevitably makes you some form of envious or angry because you’re not quite either of them, and definitely not both.
Such is life with Andy Herald, a genuine power plant of creativity and intense contemplation, who turns 40 years-old today.
Our journey together has led us both to find great things in our own respective lives, and for that I am grateful. But I think it’s important to review some of the most salient, interesting moments in our career as writing and humor coconspirators. Andy Herald’s made me a better artist in many ways, fought on my side when I needed it, and made me laugh more times than I can count. Just check out one of his nearly 700 articles or illustrations here on this site.
So take a walk down Andy Herald Lane and stop to smell the musky flowers.
Thank you, Andy. Happy birthday.
