Daddy's Home by Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein for July 10, 2015

You had to ask, kid. I was in Gen. X for five years.

Ever heard of it?

CLICKto see my new comic AVANT GAUCHE!

@tonyNo, not really. I think I was working.

I was in my thirties, but I hadn’t grown up….but then I still haven’t grown up. What generation am I?

The 80’s…. aaggh…Flashdance clothes, “Hair” bands….as 2Old said, big hair… I especially think of those huge bangs..The teenage girls in the mall teased them straight up..and using half a can of hair spray, glued them into a high, smooth wall. I skipped it. I was busy.

Peter is a little off… So-called Gen Xers are the ones born during the 20 years after us baby boomers… about 1964-84.So some were kids in the late 60’s..some in the 70’s and 80’s.

Templo, you can’t be in a generation for 5 years….You’re part of it or not, your whole life… I think you said you were 30, so you’re probably, technically, a Millennial…also called Gen Y…. those born 1985-2005 or so….not that the names make much difference.

They’re having trouble inventing a name for the generation born since then…For now, I call them children.

Of course. I was in my 20’s all through the 80’s

I was born in the 20’s. What was that?

Soo, people born in the 2000’s are XXX?

Pre- war, I guess, I was born in 1938, and they didn’t have any name for us, we were kids.

What’s your generation?

Mostly nuclear and some coal. Not much hydro-electric in Minnesota…
