"Nice haircut."

Little boy reading a classic whilst his Dad reads a comic.

'Well, isn't this nice? Three generations all sitting down together.'

'Grandpa, what was manufacturing?'

"We're looking forward to this little bundle of joy bringing out the worst in each of us."

"Oh, you haven’t seen holiday drama ‘till you’ve met our little family."

Not-so-easy listening...

"Gramps, you were alive before everyone knew what you were doing on social media... What was that called?" "Bliss!"

"It's a fortuitous coincidence that the greatest moments in music history were when I was in high school."

'What did you do in the great whale war, grandad....'

Dear Sadie, I'm just an aging Baby-Boomer who still believes in America, and sees all the good around me, but I don't understand why we've become so mean. How can I feel good about us again? Signed, Marlemarion. Great question. There's an easy answer as to how you can feel better about the world. Change your name to something normal! I just don't agree with the @#$% premise that we've gotten mean.

Ask Sadie. Dear Sadie, What do you think of younger men? -kl. *(Actual reader letter) Ask Sadie at rudy@rudypark.com. Depends. Younger men have strong jaws and rock-hard abs, but they're missing the sexiest thing: they're not crotchety jerks, set in their ways, willing to argue about anything and say totally stupid things. Hey, doesn't that foul old wretch realize I've got rock-hard abs and a steel jaw?! (This cartoon was originally published on 2014-07-12)

"A beautiful baby. Who does he take after?"

'He was an impressionist. Like that Alistair McGowan...'

Mrs Smith and her daughter - now and 40 years later...

"The floor is now open for discussion of what to name ou generation."

"When I was your age I used my beak."

"When I was young, we used bottles, rocks and toothpicks for our school science projects."

"Hearing aids. What did you wish for?"

"Grandpa, tell us again about the old days when people voted for somebody instead of against somebody."

Contest time. Mort and Sadie, our ornery octogenarians, have decided to rename Rudy's generation. Mort favors Generation I - for impatient. Sadie prefers Generation V - for virtual. Or vapid! What do you think? Please send your own ideas to asksadieshow@gmail.com. C'mon people, get thinkin'!

'Grandpa, what was the most romantic thing you ever tweeted grandma?'

"Too bad we only see each other when we're hungry! I know! Let's go on a date, a real date!"

Yeah, I'm taking care of my parents now, too.

'No, I mean, what's a 'letter'?'

Punks with blue/pink hair meet old people with blue/pink rinses.

"So, when you young execs talk about 'phoning it in' there's no actual phone involved?"

"I invited my friends over so we can see how much your generation is leaving us to pay off!"

"Grandpa, how old were you when you learned how to velcro your sneakers?"

'Oh, I don't think grandma still throws eggs at traffic.'
