The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for April 19, 2024

He’s not old, he’s a fine vintage.

Forever young.

He doesn’t look a day over the 35th anniversary of his 39th birthday.

You say “old”, I say “mature”.

Old age is starting to catch up with me also, I’m getting winded just going up my basement stairs.

hmmmm, sounds like something someone old would say…

My mind and body argue about this. I’m hoping my mind wins.

the uncle formerly known as young…

Jack Benny was 39 until the day he died.

I say old! Dang, it’s old when you’re sick with something different every time you look. Knees hard to bend and back kills you.

It hurts in places you didn’t know you had when you were younger. I’m seventy.

Let’s call him Mid-century modern, makes him sound distinguished

it’s ok to get old, just don’t get ripe (smelling). bathing gets harder as you get older but peoples eyes shouldn’t water when you get near

Depends on the day Wilberforce. Some days Uncle Ted feels pretty good and most of his parts work well with little discomfort. Other days, just the reverse.

I say aged with Grace. Un’huh.

All in how you look at it huh Uncle Ted ?

Good comeback.

I say “Hey! I’m still Farting!”

recycled teenagers is what someone at church wanted old people to be called. :J

I’m as old as my tongue and a little bit older than my teeth

Don’t call yourself “old.” Think of yourself as having “successfully aged.”

I started feeling old when my beard went gray. But, I didn’t feel really old till I got osteoarthritis in my knees. But, we all change with age. Even Wilbur might start feeling older since he probably can’t put his big toe in his mouth any more.

Old? He’s not even old enough to be President yet

Old age implies an inability to do things. However, our accumulated wisdom from our lives allows us to avoid those things that we don’t need to do and to put our energy into those things that we want to do and to recognize the difference which is really what is important in life……

I’m old. Not dead.

I’m not old, I’m just chronologically challenged…

Everybody gets there eventually, kid!

Good one, Uncle Ted!

He is definitely young at heart and that is a great life lesson for Wilberforce. Speaking of alternate ways to look at life, I read an article the other day where the author related that his wife suggested to him that he should work harder at being less not thin.

“Old” shall forever be defined as “20 or more years older than my own current age.”

Yazzzz, Uncle Ted. Been there, still there, hope to be there for a long time to come. : )

When asked “were they really that good” – of course I was young then

See Adult Children cartoon (on gocomics) 6 March

I suppose that’s a good way of looking at it, Uncle Ted.

I’m not old (I’m 64). I’m getting older, but I refuse to get old.

I never intend to dwell on getting old, or even older. I just hope that I do. I see nothing wrong or embarrassing about doing what comes naturally. It is, however, hard to watch the dogs I have had, plus the current one, get older faster.

Getting old sure beats the alternative.
