According to Einstein, time travels slower the faster you travel. For instance the Apollo astronauts rocketing to the Moon at 20,000 miles an hour, aged 3 seconds less than their twin brothers left back on Earth. Captain Kirk traveling at warp speed, the speed of light, would age only a minute while his brother on Earth aged 7 years! So this explains the cartoon scientifically. The old man with the cane can only walk half the speed as Ziggy can!
Actually you are reaching the future all the time – except that the future always becomes now and then instantly becomes the past. It’s like how they say “Tomorrow never comes.” because when it does, it’s no longer tomorrow, it’s today.
Remember when, as a child, it seemed there was an incredible amount of time between the holidays? At my age, I’ve come to think of the whole as Hallowthanksmassyears Day.

Don’t worry about the future, It’s always two days later then the past.

I’m seeing variants of concern in the future. I hope I is wrong.

And then you wake up one day and realize that all your future has become your past.

Things are going great, and they’re only getting better
I’m doing alright, getting good grades
The future’s so bright, I gotta wear shades
I gotta wear shades

Actually, I find as I get older that this is a good thing; best to get to the future and get it over with the way the world is going.

Life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end the faster it runs out.
