The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for January 09, 2025

Funny how we get older faster than the old jokes themselves.

Well, as Willie Nelson wrote many years ago, …ain’t it funny how time slips away.

Everyone in path of winter storm Cora – please stay safe !!!!

And the older we get the faster it slips away.

I’ve been aware of the time going by. They say in the end, it’s the wink of an eye. And when the morning comes streaming in, you’ll get up and do it again. The PretenderJackson Brown.

Younger sales staff invent new ideas on how to sell your Tea Cosies, like having your name or companies slogan embroidered on them….. maybe I need a long rest!

Look on the bright side: as a senior employee you grow in authority.

By the day? Heck, it seems like by the 5.39 × 10^-44 seconds (Plank Time) to me.

I’m 63 and at my daughters house the other night, my son in law and his cousin are talking about breakfast and how expensive it is to get drive through. The cousin says, I remember when I could get a roll and coffee for a buck. I laughed and they asked what was funny. I told them it was nice to listen to a couple of middle age guys complain about how everything was better back in the good old days. Then I told him he was middle aged unless he planed on living past 85. :) All in good fun. They laugh when they call me boomer. I do not take that as an insult. 36* in Central Florida!

My FORMER grandson told me, “It’s not your time; things are different now.” I decided that the “thing” that was different was his rude lack of respect and have had nothing to do with him for about ten years. (Made sure he gets nothing from my will if he out lives his mother after I’m gone.The rest of my “grands” and five little “great-grands” are the best.

You nailed it Thorny!

time keeps on slippin’…into the future…

Works either way Brutus .

Brutus doesn’t look a day over 50? Now if he could just get rid of the old battle axe, he wouldn’t age half as fast.

Don’t know about you, but I’ve been roughly the same age for over ½ a century now

New blood is cheaper and often smarter than old souls. Fresh bread over stale.

it’s when they’re so young that they are considered newborns is when I would start worrying. same as so old that they’re dust. :j

♪♫ “Time, keeps flowing like a river, to the sea…” ♪♫

Sometimes the old gets a pink slip and in your place is a younger person that they’re paying half the salary you were getting! BOO HISS

A little energy drink in the water cooler may do Brutus and his coworkers some good.

Boy ain’t that the truth. Today’s strip sure hits home. Somehow and some time along the way I morphed from “the kid” to grizzled veteran. And if I try to think otherwise all I have to do is look in the mirror!

All of us are getting older by the day regardless of our age, medical condition, or how much we spend on make up or the cosmetic surgery we apply to our bodies. That’s life. We occupy this space in time, the next generation will occupy there time and so on and so forth until the end of time. Also, don’t fool yourself into believing that you can live forever on Earth by downloading your information into some AI computer or robot. That can never be you.And so l say Hurrah to all subsequent generations and hope that they do better and live longer than this generation if that is what is to happen. However, Brutus may live for many more generations if there are artists and creative comics who will accept the torch being passed. Brutus is us and we are him. He CAN live forever and l hope that he does…..

That does happen……….

They get younger by the day; we get older by the hour.

I remember starting at a small medical device company at age 21. I was going to work there a few years. It turned into 18! I was one of the younger ones. Then, many of us got laid off. I got a job as a med technologist in a hospital lab, and they paid for me to finish my degree. I took one class at a time and was the oldest student in every class.

Older with each new hire.

Similar to yesterday’s comic “Moderately Confused” by Jeff Stahler for January 08, 2025.

Getting older has never bothered me. It’s better than the other choice.

I’m 72 and drove by a high school as it was letting out 30 years ago. I thought “Boy those kids look younger than when I was in high school”.

Brutus nailed it.

i feel right at home here in japan, where we oldsters will be outnumbering the younguns any day now. pretty soon, there won’t be anyone left to pay into our pension fund. and no dimwits to shout at us when they’re talking to us ’cause they think all older folks are deaf…

Thats why your generation is referred to as the “Dinosaurs”

If I could save time in a bottle…

That’s how fast aging happens.
