Born on this day: Ian Boothby, comics writer, nominated for multiple Shuster, Harvey, and Eisner Awards (and winner of an Eisner)! He was the lead writer for Simpsons Comics (more issues written than any other scripter) and Futurama Comics at Bongo Comics, as well as writing for MAD and several children's TV series and specials. can you spot him in the Big Bongo Line-Up of Superstars below? Oh, wait...yes you can — I've already circled him in red.
