He's 16 today!

Many, many years ago, thinking it would be rather cool to create a one-of-a-kind birthday card using Photoshop, I had no idea I was actually setting a precedent.

Now, many, many years later, if I was to give a child of mine a bought card on their birthday, then they would feel slightly less than special.

Among other things, to date, Rogan has appeared with Teletubbies and Bob the Builder, in Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, The Matrix and Pirates of the Caribbean, as well as being portrayed as Wolverine, Dr Who and James Bond.

This year was more of a struggle than usual. I did have an idea for putting him into the movie, Kick Ass, as the lead character had bouncing curly hair, not dissimilar to Rogan's. But then he went and got his hair cut.

After a failed attempt at trying to slot him in with the cast of Friends, last night I had a moment of inspiration and managed to include him in another of his favourite TV series, Family Guy.

Fortunately it was greeted with a smile this morning.



Happy Birthday Rogan!

  9. Haha, I'm still grinning at the 'precedent' you've set, Kim. What a super-cool thing for a father to do! It's a pity you didn't do Rogan the Barbarian before he cut his hair :-) I miss the long hair. Oooh, idea, put him in a Barbados setting next birthday and make a card called Rogan the Barbadian.

    Hey Rogan, hope you're STILL celebrating. Birthdays should last a week or more!
