Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for August 01, 2022

Sterling is quiet. Isn’t that all you can really hope for here, Mom?

Seagull has a birdie friend!

And what are those things on poles, ’cause one seems to be occupied!

How old is Sterling anyway. Or did she slip him a mickey for the hike.

I’m thinking this is another “based on real life” strip..

It’s in St. Augustine Florida. The water still tastes the same as it did 500 years ago.

I still teach middle school students and I’m like fifty years older than they are. Every year I have to go tgrough the “How old are you” thing.

And the gap just keeps getting wider. They never age and I get older every year.

Just proves age is relative and when you’re a kid all relatives are aged.

Yes, you will be. However, I would definitely settle for the fountain of middle age if given the choice. But alas, my fate is sealed and I am just anticipating the next journey which lies not too far ahead….

My uncle laughs at his younger self. Back in the 1960’s, he was a new sci-fi fan. 1999, 2000, 2001 were the hot years for many a comic, book, and movie. He naturally wanted to see these amazing years with his own eyes, but a quick bit of arithmetic showed he’d be 40 years old! (Emphasis on “old”) Whew! It ‘d be a squeaker, but MAYBE he’d be alive!

Geezers ain’t half as bad as wheezers!

I remember playing pretend with my brother and he’d always say he was like 45 in our games and I would just say a few years older then I was. He always argued kids can’t do anything so we should be grown ups but I always quietly thought since we were pretending anyway what did it matter?

I’m still 24 in my head. Unfortunately, my knees disagree.

I recall one of the kids in my 2nd year in high school called one of the young female teachers (out of earshot, of course) a geezer, hahahah. She was in her mid 20s, btw.

I did not think I was old until I was talking to a single mom with a Master’s Degree I was on a date with and realized that she was less than half my age. She is older than half my age now but she already ended the relationship.

Anyone know what those pole things are?
