Not a problem… Other comics like “Last Kiss” “Calvin & Hobbes” (yes, even in the nth re-reading) “That is Priceless” etc etc increase longevity, counteracting FA.
Teresa, today’s comic reminded me of these lyrics in a song by Jefferson Starship: “…You came into this life unsheltered and all alone / That’s how you came and for sure that’s how you go out…”
It’s getting a bit late to die sooner, if you don’t count when they killed me in the O.R. 60+ years ago (I got better). “Alone & in pain” sounds about average.
As a son of a war hero, young Gaius spent most of his childhood accompanying his father on military campaigns. The boy soon became a favorite of Germanicus’ legionaries. They dressed the future emperor in the little soldier’s outfit, including miniature boots – caligae. Thus, Gaius became known as Caligula – “little boot.” However, although Caligula had a keen interest in military affairs, he was uncomfortable with the moniker, and after assuming the throne, he insisted on the given name he shared with a famous ancestor – Gaius Julius Caesar.

But people who read Frog Applause live longer than many animals.
Granted, there’s still that alone and in pain thing. Oh well. Whatcha going to do?

Ultimately, everyone dies alone.

…it’s all about quality of life…
…can you really say you live longer…
…if you never really lived?…
…say, Frog Applause is like Vienna sausages…
…every time you partake…
…you lose a day of your life…
…who wants to live to be 120 anyway(s)?…
…am I truly living my tugging out automobile pieces to a robotic line 10 hours a day?…
…am I not more alive the vast few minutes it takes me to consume Frog Applause?!?…
…the say…
…live every day like it’s your last…
…I don’t know about you, but …
…I don’t want to spent my last days climbing Mount Kilimanjaro…
…I’d rather be sitting on my back porch watching the sunrise …
…having a cup of good coffee…
…and reading Frog Applause…
