Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for September 21, 2019

Or, “That’s your portrait, Dorian Gray.”

Wow, my mirror does that same thing!

This latest trend of comics is getting old too and doesn’t even need the app.

Every time I look in my mirror, there’s an old man blocking my view!

It’s Loike that joke where 2 women are sitting at a bar and one says “I hope that we never end up like that (points across the bar) you know, 2 old women propping up a bar.” The second one says “uh Diane, you’e looking at a mirror”.

Great way to end the arc!

When I look in the mirror I wonder,“Who is that old fart and why is he wearing my clothes?”.

At least it didn’t crack yet….

I’ve had that app for years.

What a way to wrap up AGING APP week.

Zing!!!

Just possibly this ‘trend’ is commenting on the modern obsession with apps instead of participating in real life.

My 86yo mom, who looks & acts at least 10 years younger, keeps saying she wonders who that old lady is in her mirror. So I sent her this one, saying maybe it’s not a mirror after all, it’s that aging app!

From the Delusional Dept.™ : My mirror makes me look younger.

I must have a smart mirror – mine does that everyday.

Gazing at oneself too long says a lot about the ID.

I don’t need one; I have my driver’s license. It looks like they found my body in a field, two days after I died.

And that app works very, very slowly!

Oh, lordy! This is one of the VERY few ’toons that actually made me “laugh out loud”. Congratulations, Mark!

“Every time​ that I look in the mirror,

All these lines on my face getting clearer:

The past is gone.

It went by, like dusk to dawn."

And as we all know, growing old is a pain, but it still beats the alternative.

How did he get MY mirror?

Love this series. :)

I remember in “Back to the Future” when Marty McFly arrived in the 1950s, entered his future high school, and saw a faculty member who was bald in 1985. He said, “Didn’t he EVER have hair?”
