When I'm 64

Yet more old cartoons.

 

I did research on ages of artists dying in the 20th Century. The average was 71.3 years (from a pool of 1500+ artists). So artists don't die young.

 

Since I'm not getting a pension, I've decided years ago that '71.3' was the arbitrary age I'd stop living (unless technology came up with a good answer to immortality before then). Everyone needs a reasonable deadline and I'm not going to be one of those people that hangs on to the grim end, covered in tubes and bedsores, crapping into a bag. Sorry but life isn't worth that indignity. My 70th birthday will be great, as it will be a year of outrageous criminality. 70 is still young enough to have a bit of fun before being packed of to an old peoples home to die. Go whilst the goings good.
