Ziggy by Tom Wilson & Tom II for December 20, 2021

The problem with youth is that it’s wasted on the young.

You is too busy running the rat race in youth.

Can hardly wait myself.

My body isn’t waiting that long.

I don’t think I did get my together & I’m trying hard to keep my body together.

Don’t call me old I’ll whack you with my cane.

I can’t grow Old, I don’t know how. I don’t have permission from my parents. You can’t make me grow up. Is there a vaccine for old age?

I once heard an aging author being interviewed on NPR and she was asked if she could be any age what would she choose? She said, “I would like to be the oldest I was when I still felt good.” Me, too.

Don’t I know it

As Blink 182 said in “What’s My Age Again?”:

No one should take themselves so seriously

With many years ahead to fall in line

Why would you wish that on me?

I never wanna act my age

What’s my age again?

Just my comment yesterday, why isn’t the artist consistent with drawing all people round and simple like Ziggy? This man has more realistic proportions (well, for a cartoon, that is.)

The mid 30’s to mid 40’s were pretty good for mind and body.

Ain’t that the truth!

Yep, pretty much! I’m a wise old buzzard, for all the good it does me now!

And there are those whose mind goes first. I have a certain highly placed politician in mind but he will remain unnamed to avoid politics (BTW, his name isn’t Trump)

I remember this strip from like a few months ago.

Ain’t that the truth!

There is truth here.

Since when is Alzheimer’s “getting your head together”?
