    Actually, today’s 80 years old look a lot more vibrant than days of yore…panel #2 with grey hair…

    What was Carlin’s line? I turned sixty-five - like a carton of milk! Where are the grandkids? (Unlike Gasoline Alley, where the characters -sort of- age in near-real-time.)

    I don’t think they would look that bad at 80, they look like their 110+ in panels 1and three

    I thought they were zombies until I got to the second panel so yeah, they’d probably look better than that.

    And of course that had nothing to do with Mark priming me to expect zombies here.

    Why do I suddenly think I should check the dates on my deli meat?

    I wonder what Lio looks like when he shows HIS real age.

    He’d be what, in his teens right now?

    ( And ain’t that a scary thought? This kid going through his angst years. )

    A moment of reality bites for the Dagwood set. the first Homer Simpson gets full credit for the ones who’ve followed.

    In March 2009, PvPonline.com had a five-day Watchmen parody called “Ombudsmen,” in which the heroes were all comic-strip characters; Dagwood was the Dr. Manhattan character, watching the world change around him while he himself could never change. Take a look.

    Actually, Lio is only four years old. So, he would look not that different from now.
