    An old, in age only, person once told me on their birthday, “It’s better than the alternative.”

    I’ll complain if I want to. Option B comes up no matter what anyway.

    My aunt at about 97 said that 97 isn’t old. She lived to 100.

    Agent54, great line. Although I love the sentiment, death by fire ants is probably, pretty harsh. and burning alive and stuff sucks…being blowed up good, is the best way to go…..it happens a hundred thousand times faster than a thought. No pain…..That whole prolonged pain thing kinda bugs me a bit….

    That’s the old saying: “The alternative to getting old is depressing.”

    Not if you’re a born-again Christian- Acts2:38-39, I Thess. 4:14. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

    John 3:1. There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 2. The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. 3. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? 5. Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

    Looking forward to this!!!

    Pretty close to Hobson’s Choice. Like when you approach the merge as a lane ends, the guy in the lane “not ending” runs you off the road — no right to live if your lane dies.

    Poor Wiley. No matter what he draws, he attracts the Trolls to this strip. If it’s not the political poltroons, then it’s the religious zealots !Just be grateful. If you didn’t make the Police Blotter or the Irish Sports Page ( Obits. column ) in you daily paper, then it’s a good day !

    Whoever called them “The Golden Years” was being sarcastic. Very, very sarcastic. I didn’t realize that until I entered them.

    I’ve said for some time; “Growing old’s a bitch, but the alternative really sucks”, and Wiley reflects same.

    My mom is now 100, and considering her current “quality of life”, I’m really not so sure any more. She’s “hyper-religious”, yet still fears death, and “hangs on” tenaciously to life, even in constant pain, nearly totally immobile, and losing her mental faculties, so I question how “reassuring” all that scripture really is.

    Am aiming to smite evil up to the last. Other peoples’, that is. Found a reep candidate who mastered deficit spending…he five-fingered his I Hop franchise into bankruptcy even tho he took waitresses’ wages…and hasn’t paid for a custom car he’s campaigning in.

    I hope I die ‘outing’ THOSE kinds of criminals. Yup, I live in NM, home of the current princess of reep bigtime TX money.Yup, the evildoer has her total support.

    I’ll comment on the strip if it ever loads. In the mean time I’d just like to ask, would you all rather live a short, happy life, or a long, miserable one? Oddly enough, most people choose the latter.

    Since for many, complaining is one of the great joys of continued existence, this strip seems rather incoherent. And now I have to waste time complaining about it in the comments? And my knee hurts. And why do people always leave the room while I’m talking?
