Comix Newz! Brand New Kids These Days…
Posted by themasonIs it me or is it taking longer for kids to grow up these days? Many young men and women find it hard to start a life after college. Some blame a bad market, others blame the directionless twenty-somethings, but where does the blame really belong?
May Parker from Queens is baffled by her twenty-eight year old nephew, living in her attic. “I love him, I really do,” She says over a cup of coffee at a non-descript, corner café, “But at some point he’s just got to go.”
I ask May, by her best estimation, what is the cause of her nephew’s failure to launch? “Responsibility,” she tells me, “My husband, God rest his soul, and I tried to instill some responsibility into him, but it just didn’t seem to work. If it did he’d be out of my house!”
“Doesn’t he realize,” May says, exasperated near the end of our conversation, “That it’s a bit pathetic? How will the boy find a good wife if his home is shared with the woman who raised him?”
This reporter also wonders how May’s not-so-young nephew will get laid in such a living condition. While this is an answer better left to the philosophers, one thing is clear: This is one irresponsible young man.
Comix Newz, if you hadn’t noticed, ain’t serious. It’s a culmination of making shit up and a bad sense of humor.
