Join me in wishing Josh Lapin-Bertone a happy 27th birthday. He’s been an invaluable part of the site for several years. He’s written all the Spider-Jeopardy questions for our podcasts, been a reporter at San Diego for us and even had Stan Lee bless my daughter. Don’t forget his infamous Bertone Hates Betty articles. So I thought Sha-Shan could make him some of her classic sandwiches for his birthday. Happy birthday my friend, you’re the best.
