Peanuts by Charles Schulz for December 05, 2023

I know the feeling.

I’m there.

Sad

All that’s left is a Senior Moment

NOT too old, over qualified.

Forget the seminar and just go play golf.

Maybe he should just spend his last few years in peace.

At least he wasn’t told he had something terminal and had weeks to live!

How could he attend any seminar? He’s 63 and not human anymore!!

Since he’s passed it, maybe he can teach the seminar instead?

ba dum tss

How depressed can you be?

That’s true. You can’t be depressed if other people are depressed. Depression is a finite resource. Please donate to your local depression drive toda— you get it.

When I was their age I thought middle age was 25 to 35. When I was 20 it was 35 to 45. When I was 30 it was 40 to 50. When I was 40 it was 50 to 65. When I was 50 it was hard to ignore. Now over 60 and it’s fading in my taillights….

Hmm, a new kind of midlife crisis.

Perhaps he could teach it.

All together now… “How…Old…Is He?”

I am about three decades overdue my mid-life crisis.

At this time of year, my chronic depression always goes in to overdrive.

I think Mid-life is a floating number.

I have not attended one, as I am immortal…I will bet my life on it.

Think he’s got it bad? I’m so old, I remember watching the Beatles first appearance on the Ed Sullivan show!

That would indicate that someone knows his “expiration” date.

I once freaked my mother out by pointing out I was now old enough to order from the seniors menu.

Nothing like having a crisis dismissed by comparison; “You didn’t have a nervous breakdown. The symptoms weren’t the same as mine were!”

What the heck is a mid-life seminar?

Yeah, I can see where that would sting.

The setup is so weird though. There’s nothing in the first panel to indicate that Charlie Brown is depressed. Some of his long-running character traits hint at it from time to time, but there’s no reason Linus should think it’s particularly the case today.

That train pulled out of the station a long time ago for me…..

My mid life came and went and I didn’t even know it.

“No, Linus, I don’t think I’m depressed. I KNOW I am!” d;o)
