Powree was of the opinion that this would have been a good choice for our 100th strip. But since I think that the 100th strip should be colored like the 50th strip and this one does not really need to be colored, I have chosen another one for that special occasion.
- Caption: People can get as old as 3,155,692,600 seconds (raccoons 631,138,520 seconds). And yet it often seems to be the most important for the way we think, feel and live, what’s happening in just a few of them.

BTW: Notice the “pony” television set? That takes me back to the days when Price is Right permitted a video game to be made of their series…and all the prizes had to be knock-off names to avoid copyrights. “Yes. You can get this $230 tool set by Rears…IF The Price is Right.”
@ Cairn Destop: I have not used the average life span of the species but a very high age. I had to take a specific number in the end so I took 20 years for raccoons and 100 years for humans. But 18 years and 110 years would have worked just as well.
@ jup-reindeer: You certainly don’t have to worry about your eyesight. The Pony logo (that was Powree’s idea) is so tiny that I thought nobody would see it.

What could have been a better time to read all of this comic. Heartwarming.

Aww! (RL Raccoons can be rather surly in their old age though.)

i can’t help but agree… occasionally some longer periods can have great weight also, but there’s nothing like the impact a single, important sentence can have upon the rest of your existance.

I think the second sentence could be better if written something like this:
“And yet, it often seems that the most important things for the way we think, feel, and live, happen in just a few of them.”
“And yet, for the way we think, feel, and live, it often seems like the most important things happen in just a few of them.”
But point taken. It certainly rings true. It’s a sobering fact.

@ Novil:
Yahoo news just reported that today (as of this typing; 9/11/09) that Gertrude Baines had just passed away. She was the oldest living person on record: Age 115.
And, funny you should mention my eyesight. Very similar to what a co-worker said, just the other week.
@ waffle911: The wording of your first suggestion sounds better, that’s true. But I think it also involves a slight change of meaning, so I won’t change the strip.

It’s nice to see what Sandra’s Mother looked like…after all this time you finally see her mom after all the reference and mystery behind her…
