About The Elderberries
Phil Frank’s The Elderberries centers around Dusty, a cowboy whose middle aged daughter has decided it’s time for him to hang up his spurs and move to Elderpark, a retirement community. While there, Dusty meets the Professor, a great brain with a bad memory; Evelyn, who can still see well enough to drive at night; and the General, a veteran with bad hips and a lot of stories. Together, they deal with medications, the loss of youth, and their adult children while maintaining their humor and building their friendships.

Dusty’s not as senile as he might seem!
SNEAKY! but not senile!

Dusty Winters, the retired cowboy and former truck driver, isn’t senile yet; but, he has some wild get-rich schemes.
Miss Overdunne needs to tell Dusty to stop asking for special favors since every one of his approved requests fails.
Since the central character in this strip is Dusty, there would be no Elderpark.
In this retirement complex where I live, all of the apartments are the same size except for tne assistant managers which is a two bedroom and the 4 that are upstairs where they have a storage closet behind the stairwell.

Speaking of get-rich schemes, I sometimes wonder if Dusty and Boone are reincarnations of Ralph and Ed.

With some older people, they do not need to be senile to appear addled.

Ralph Kramden and Ed Norton of Jackie Gleason’s “The Honeymooners?”
But, they weren’t retired; although they were somewhat poor.
