Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for September 09, 2021

I’m old and I don’t even have Fakebook.

Welcome to the wonderful world of mobile phone notifications, Gene.

It’s a lot better than Instagram you young whippersnapers use.

Never got on facebook, seeing the distress of people I know who are on it, I’m glad I never did!

“Do old people live on Facebook?”

Do you call that “living”?

No, we live on GoComics.

But somehow, we got the news here too.

:)

Looking at my father. Pretty much yes.

My 79-year-old mother spends 90% of her day on Facebook. It helps keep me off it.

Since the kids never call…

I check the battery level on my smartphone once a day and use it mainly for lists. Shopping list and what I need to do for various holidays. I have a Facebook acct for various reasons but I only check it once a month. I do have a friend who lives on Facebook though.

“Not on SnapFace, not too worried what they put on InstaChat.” Patriots coach Bill Belichick.

Yes.

Yes, they do.

Take a look at the third panel. I can’t recall Jimmy ever using a plain, straight line arrow to indicate the words a character spoke.

Well darn! Now it looks like pregnancy wasn’t the reason. Are they still going to grow things and sell them at a roadside stand. As they originally intended?

It is interesting that Gene refers to his parents as “old people.” Just wait until you reach their age, Gene. Then, I doubt that you will think of that age as old.

As for me, the older I get, the younger old looks.

Nah! We live on “Go Comics”, since “Zap Comix” shut down…

You will never win, son.

This has been coming for a long time. Here’s an indication from a time when Gene still had long hair and a goatee.

When it comes to our kids’ posting.. yes we live on facebook.

OLD???? Wash your mouth out with soap!!!

Your mother does.

Smart people avoid Facebook!

My 96y/o Mother in law is on FB everyday! Unfortunately she accidentally accepts friends that she doesn’t know and has been hacked a few times! ;o[

Yes Gene! It sure seems like it at times… And I’m guilty as charged! Quickest way to find out what going on with family.

I am mid-60s, and I have friends my age who are like that. They are on FB 24/7.

yes

Gene, the answer is Yes. I am old and left Facebook about four years ago—and miss it very little. My nonagenerian mother, however, runs through her family & friends every morning. Healthfully, she then puts FB aside—or, at least, that’s what she tells me.

i’m not on ANY social media. any communication with the people that matter is thru texts or phone calls!

Facebook????

I do not get what people find to do on Facebook for more than 5 minutes. I scan family news and move on. Do they play games through FB or something? I just don’t get social media. I have friends who live near me. And I learn things here in GoComics, but it’s read, maybe comment, and move on. Plus, it was Gene’s wife who put the info so quickly on FB rather than call the parents.

Without Face Book, how can we badger politicians, the political party they support. Rant and rave about our sports teams and belittle the opposing teams and their fans. I could never live without all the dog/cat/etc. videos. Face Book is our source of proving we the people are smarter than any President or Military Leader.

I’m 65 and my wife and I are active on Facebook. Heck, there are even old folks active on there.

I’m older than dirt and wouldn’t touch FacePlant with a ten foot shovel.

Maybe…

I can’t believe no one quoted Deana Carter from Strawberry Wine “I still remember when thirty was old”. Actually, that is a Matraca Berg quote as she is the song writer. Just one in a long list of her many writes.

I’m on facebook in the early morning while I have my wake up drink and late afternoon when I have a little relax me drink. if these times coincide with the times that my friends are posting it will indeed seem as if I am always on

Yeah, unfortunately. Now it’s the main way I keep up with family and friends.

Only when it involves their children’s lives.

Quitting because restaurant is making too much business. Ok. I’ll suspended disbelief.

it’s how we get to see family who live far away. No one sends photos in the mail anymore. I do not enjoy finding important news on FB though. I would prefer a phone call.

Yes we do. Oh wait, I’m not old. I’ve been fifteen for most of the last thirty-one years.

Not me. No Facebook, no Instagram…, nada.

depends on you follow

What do you mean “rough”?
