Today in Comics History, November 22: Happy birthday, George Eliot!

Born on this day in 1819: rugged he-man ultra-masculine writer George Eliot, the guy who wrote such manly testosterone-filled adventure tales as Silas Marner, Middlemarch and The Mill on the Floss!

Oh. I seem to have made another one of my silly mistakes.

Anyway, happy birthday to you, George Eliot, ya big lug, you! Slam a couple beers for me!
