Reality Check by Dave Whamond for August 22, 2016

and Aquaman is now know for his many trips to the toilet

hmmmmmmmmm,

he is lucky he can still find a phone booth….

Daddy, what’s a phone booth? What were they for? Well Susie, people needed a place to pee.

I think he’s also forgotten that he retired long ago and has no reason to be running around in his super-suit. But, I have to mention that this cartoon reminds me of some of my favorite 60s and 70s Superman stories, where he was portrayed as getting older, losing his powers, ending up in a wheelchair, etc. Usually these were “imaginary, might or might not ever happen” stories, as DC comics called them back then. But there was one memorable tale where, due to an accident with a time machine, he really did age 100,000 years.

I feel his pain(s).

Most of today’s senior citizen appear to be just aged super-heroes.
