Oh look at that, I’m having a birthday again. 31 years ago today the skies opened up, a celestial choir sang, and Lloyd Oliver Willis Jr. began the slow battle for control of Earth-1.
Of course, the one who endured the actual pain of that day and decided she would never do it again (because of course she got it right the first time) is my mom.

Happy Birthday Oliver!
Happy Birthday Oliver!
Do something nice for your mother . . . .

I hope one’s thirties go slower than one’s twenties. I feel like I took a nap and went from 21 to 27.
Happy birthday, OW. Good health, many more and so forth.
Happy Birthday, O-Dub!
And your mother is indeed lovely!
Wait until you hit your mid-30s. Then you’ll be saying “Wait–that was 20 years ago?!? God I feel OLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLD!!!”
Happy Birthday. And watch out for your evil anti-matter universe counterpart. It’s his birthday, too.
Happy Birthday to YOU!
Happy Birthday to YOU!
Happy Birthday Dear Oliver

Bon Anniversaire mon capitan. All the best. What sort of cake did you have (damn this diet!)?
Happy Birthday! And many more.
You’re a good man to post the picture of your mom, and a beautiful one it is.
Serious respect for posting the pic of your mom, who presumably worked harder to make this day happen than you (or any of us on our days) did. Happy Birthday.
Happy Birthday.
P.S. Your Mom looks lovely!
