Francis by Patrick J. Marrin for August 22, 2022

I got my last job at age 70. Been at it for three years now.

Friend of mine finally retired at 96.

My dad accepted his last parish when he was 72 and on dialysis. Toward the end of his life he used a walker to get down the aisle. He was writing a sermon when he died.

Both of his brothers and his parents lived into their 90s, so we felt he died young at 80.

Panel 4…did someone put that sign there, like the ol’ “kick me” signs?

At least he’s got an agenda. God bless him!

Oops. He drove full speed into the wall.

I prefer his agenda to theirs.
