The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for January 11, 2013

Anybody remember the old “Car 54, Where Are You?” series and the episode where robbers that had been captured by Muldoon’s father long ago finally got out of prison as old men? All the time in stir they wondered how their careful plans had gone awry.. The overall plan had been perfect! Then they found out what had gone wrong, and determined to reenact the crime and get it right! But all the physical capabilities that had given them advantages as criminals — speed, sharp eyesight, agility — were gone. .I haven’t seen that for almost 50 years, and I still remember..I’ll send this cartoon to a friend with incontinence due to prostate surgery. Think he’ll find it funny? He wears diapers and has to change them many times a day. I’ll be with him and he’ll say, “Do you realize, that this very second I’m talking to you I’m taking a pee?”.You have to laugh, else you’ll cry. Old age sucks, but you can’t let it take you down the drain.
