The Buckets by Greg Cravens for January 24, 2023

Set the boy straight, Frank. Your lifetime does not qualify as ancient fairy-tale material.

I definitely feel ancient, but my life has never felt like a fairy-tale but then “Fairies Wear Boots”

Wow, the real before times.

Twenties? Whew! That means “fifties” are still thirty years away. I’m from the future!

want old school? when i started high school in RI, the school desks had graffiti from the Civil War

Yes, hang on! Today’s strip IS funny, but technically Eddie was “born” in 1996 when this strip was started. The conundrums of a strip where the characters don’t age.

Things that make you feel old

The closing manager at work had me do a training thing on the computer

When she signed me in, she saw my date of hire and told me I’ve been working for the company since before she was born

Eddie… you are currently 33 years old. Though, a space-time dilatation has you set at 6.

I’m with Frank – but then, I personally knew people who remembered when years started with 18. (But only on CE reckoning; Hebrew or Chinese, not so much…..).

Don’t rub it in, just because you’ve aged well, being a comic.
