Growing old can be tiring and it might seem like an extremely boring process. But why can’t it be full of fun? Perhaps there is no other cartoon character that has brought the theme of aging as closely as Nana Sue, even within the comic book universe. Her fluffy silver hair, colorful knitted sweaters and lovely sparkle in the eyes are delightful together with the humor of this life phase. It is with great affection that we highlight 20 of Nana Sue’s finest cartoons selected because they illustrate how the author finds giggles in the mundane life episodes that baby boomers can endure as they age.

Old Age Humor
It can be said that Nana Sue’s career as the cartoonist was influenced by her own life experiences. Her entertainment is derived out of ordinary things which, most often, make her look for her glasses the entire day only to find them on her face. By making these experiences light hearted, fans of her work can easily relate to her experiences they themselves share as well. “At least I’m still sharp enough to find them eventually!” she jokes, which is a great witty ending to the performance.
Humor used in Nana Sue’s cartoons has rather become a theme with focus on modern technology. One scene can illustrate it: a woman receives a new smart TV and after trying to turn it on with a voice command the TV actually transforms into a karaoke. Her confused cat startled watches her while she sings perfectly capturing the generational divide when it comes to technology. This funny link with the digital era makes one think that humor is indeed a product of our true efforts at trying to conform to whatever new age is emerging every day.

Most of the comedy material that is relatable to Nana Sue is availed by patrons of family related Interactions. A very funny cartoon shows her at a family barbeque where she has the families eat ones all mixed up. On boarding a plane for a journey to visit a family member who is gluten intolerant, she sets out cooking a delightful gluten containing meal her family bursts into laughter and they nick name her ‘the confused chef’. It draws a light comedy that does an excellent job of summing up the way that families can often be crazy, but also deeply caring and completely unashamed of it.

The work of Nana Sue is truly authentic. The panels grab something from the real life such as the struggle of grocery shopping or forgetting where she parked her car and that many of us can all relate to. She puts one cartoon where she literally wrestles with trying to remember her favorite spice, shouting ”It’s the one that makes everything taste good oh what’s it called?” The fun and the laughter that can be hidden in daily moments, and that just when life’s little challenges are our best memories.
