The Knight Life by Keith Knight for June 07, 2024

I’d almost forgotten about that “end of the world” (this strip is from 2012). By now, I’ve lived through a couple of dozen predicted “ends of the world,” and more than a few “dawns of new ages.”

That reminds me of a German TV series I once saw that tracks a family through much of the 20th century. After the Second World War ends, the grandmother, reading a newspaper, says, “Oh, I see we’re going to have a new era. I’ve already lived through five new eras. I’m getting tired of them.”
