Hey, I’d love to catch old age — not to be there now, but to know that’s how it will end. To those who had a loved one who died of it and find it a sad subject for a comic, remember, it means he or she made it! A long life that DIDN’T end with AIDS or cancer at 49 or getting hit by a car at 17 or 70. I’ve lost too many beloved people way too young; old age would have been far preferable.
