The strip started in 1985 and was about a baby boomer couple, the Days. They had a young son, Gene.
Over the years A&J have pretty much aged in real time; probably in their mid 60’s at this point, but only Mr Johnson knows for sure.
We followed their careers for many years until we all realized that they weren’t going to work anymore; so they went into retirement without it ever being part of a plot line.
The most amazing thing about the strip is that the’ve had the same cat for decades. Count Ludwig Von Steppenmaus III has to be on life 3 or 4 by now.
Depends on the amount of pee they use
