I love this strip! It regularly disproves the stereotypes about growing older. I’m 77 and still chase my wife – ‘course she’s easier to catch since she uses a walker…
Oh good, other middle-aged couples play tackle too. A few weeks ago my husband I were tossing the football. He dared me to tackle him. No easy task as he is 6’4" and too damn close to 300lbs (I’m only about 120 lbs.). After dragging me all over the front yard for several minutes, I finally got him down by jumping on his back and putting my full weight on his lower legs. Some of the neighbors probably think we’re strange but appeared to enjoy the show. BTW, we live in the American southwest and don’t have a grass lawn. It’s gravel. Owww.

Or they would look like a 1950s mens’ gag-cartoon magazine strip.

Ball or no ball they still look frisky. Let’s huddle and take that delay of game penalty.

So instead of football, they’d be playing [insert your favorite body part] ball.

Without the football, it looks like a domestic incident.

With or without ball, they still got game!

Sure is mellow gropin’ in the grass
(Gropin’ in the grass is a yes, baby, can you dig it)
What a trip just watchin’ as the world goes past
(gropin’ in the grass is a yes, baby, can you dig it)
There are so many groovy things to see while gropin’ in the grass
(Gropin’ in the grass is a yes, baby, can you dig it)
Flowers with colours bright, makin’, everything outta sight
(Gropin’ in the grass is a yes, baby, can you dig it)
The sun beamin’ out between the leaves
(Gropin’ in the grass is a yes, baby, can you dig it)
And the birds dartin’ in and out of the trees
(Gropin’ in the grass is a yes, baby, can you dig it)
Everything here is so clear, you can see it
And everything here is so real, you can feel it
And it’s real, so real, so real, so real, so real, so real
Can you dig it?
I can dig it, he can dig it, she can dig it,We can dig it, they can dig it, you can dig it
Oh, let’s dig it.
Can you dig it, baby?
I can dig it, he can dig it, she can dig itWe can dig it, they can dig it, you can dig it
Oh, let’s dig it,
Can you dig it, baby?

I just love these two. Having lost my wife several months ago, this brings many happy memories.

Roughhousing always ends with someone getting hurt. Or naked.
