- Death: Sooon. Sssssssoooon.
  Me: Come at me, bro!
  
  Death eight years ago: Fall off a literal mountain while snowboarding and had to climb back out before I froze to death.
  Death six years ago: Four stents in the heart because two arteries were 99% blocked and a third 85%.
  Death two years ago: "Fine! I cast, stage III Cancer!"
  Me, in proper Gen-X fashion: "Whatever."
- I mean, to be fair, 20 years ago was a FAR more peaceful time for 20 year olds. Back then, the only dangers we had were worrying about standing in tall buildings in NYC, worrying that a draft would be instituted, and worrying that somebody would catch you actually enjoying the song "A thousand miles" by Vanessa Carlton.
  It was a far less stressful time than today.
- I did too. I'm more relaxed than ever at 40. The world is a bit of a shit show but I ran out of fucks to give about a lot of things that would have absolutely destroyed me even a decade ago. Stick with it, friend!
- This comic is only true maybe in the sense of time passing, really.
- I’m in my mid-30USD feel 20. D: When does I be mature?
  
  Well I think you're a million bucks.
can confirm; turning 45 next month, and that's my face when i'm not fighting falling asleep at work
- Stub your toe in the dark while fighting through the back pain when you have to pee at 4:00am. 47 here.
  
  Bro.
Relax, it’s only your impending death. 🤪
- Eh. Death is fine. It's all the bullshit before death we call life that worries me.
  You gotta remember, back in 1993 the new york times claimed that my generation as kids were the first generation more afraid of living than they are dying.
  I'd say as adults now, that's still true.
- true horror is thinking about living in various way where you would prefer to have died prior to it.
  
  Really? My true horror was that one time I accidentally replaced my Preparation H with superglue.
Ive been frame 3 my whole life.
I'm 29 and have been at that last panel since 16
Without units or context:
Historian: Yeah the 1940s were bad. Meteorologist: 40 degrees is piping hot indeed.
Eh, my 30s were definitely better than my 20s, which were alright.
The body starting to break down in the 40s sucks though. Not too bad yet.
- How are your knees?
