Gramma

gramma

How old would y’all say Gramma’s supposed to be? Because horrifyingly enough she can’t be a whole lot older than I am, and the things she says don’t reflect the world of my youth.

I think a lot of cartoonists (and other writers) have a fixed mental image of grandparents being of the same generation as their own grandparents, forgetting that time has passed: today’s grandparents came of age in the 1950s, 60s, or even 70s, not the 20s, 30s or 40s.

Just a reminder…

If you send me something for the LOL page, or any of the others, please mention the screen name you use here (or if you don’t want your name posted at all, let me know that as well).

You would think after all these years I’d be able to remember what screen name goes with what real-world name, especially when some of you have sent me countless comics, but you’d be wrong. I am just really, really bad with names. Always have been.

Yet if you ask me the secret identities of obscure 1940s super heroes, I will astound you. Go figure.
