I love the way this is done, sooooo true with a wonderful charm

With Menopausal on stage, etc

This choice of music and play on words is exceptional.....

is laughter the best medicine ? is it true as one thinks will be the way they travel?is it true the human mind like a parachute functions best when open? also knowledge like food, it is of no value unless digested? who said man or woman w/o goal like ship w/o a rudder? your worst ememy- your answer will be found in a mirror? the more we learn, the more we find out the less we know? the greatest victory one can achieve is victory over one self?by altering your attitude,one can alter their life? is a word to the wise suffiecent? do you look at the good side of people? is it better to give than receive? do you believe in forgiving one' trespasses? how important is it to keep love in your heart? do you believe of doing unto others as you would have done unto yourself ? believe & you will achieve?to you boomers you are in your puberty years of the golden years ! it will be what you make of it w/ the genes they gave you> ,keep the faith, the hopes high ,keep the love in your hearts w/ lot of laughter ,activity, one day at a time! peace bruno

Dear Rex,

These are pretty funny. Especially the one on the baby boomers.

Thought you'd get a kick out of them.

Have a great evening.

Lorraine

Baby boomers is great!
It sucks to get old, but the alternative is worse.
Cammie

LOVE LOVE LOVE the humor.

Needed every laugh and then some.

GREAT JOB!!

I will return for more.

To you sour pusses...geat a life!!

My friend 'AntHill' forwarded Baby Boomers to me. It is truthful, art-iculate and funny.

I especially like your insight from the 1960's to the 60's. Good stuff!

You are now on my Bookmark Bar.

Excellent site, well done, great subject matter and,yes, it sucks to get old but what choice do we have?????????????????????

Baby Boomers! LOL yup can see me there in a short few years..Thanks for the needed laugh

Yes! You are the new "Tom Lehrer", the world will now be infomed about the current mess, just as "That Was The Week That Was aka: TW3" did in the 1960's until "Tricky Dicky" became Emperor of the USA......

"When someone makes a move.
Of which we don't approve
Who is it that always intervene?
U.N. or O.A.S
They have their place I guess
But first send the Marines....".

We'll send them all we got
John Wayne
Randolph Scott
Remember all those fighting scenes
To the Shores of Tripoli
But not to Mississipoli
What do we do?
Send the Marines!

For Might makes Right
Until they see the light
They got to be protected
All their rights protected
Until somebody we likes elected

Members of th Corp.
All hate the thought of War
Rather kill them off by peaceful means
Don't call it aggression we hate that expression
Only want the World to know
We support the Status Quo
So when in doubt
Send the Mariens." ~Tom Lehrer

very clever and very well done. I've been waiting for a laugh and you provided it! Thanks!!!

Thank you, Walt, for your Baby Boomers - it is genuinely amusing, particularly reflecting on the 'hippy' years.

THANK YOU Bruno, for your comments aimed at provoking thought with some Baby Boomers who commented on the animation. 'Old age sucks' - are you people kidding???? !!!

The fact that you are in the position to offer your comment, on a web page, is living proof of the fact that you are part of the most priviledged generation of mature people that ever lived. Eternal youth and 'beauty' , immortality, in the physical sense?
Is that the the answer for you?

Whatever you seek, you will find.
If you view is that 'old age sucks' .......

For me ' every day above ground is a good day'.

Wish you all the ability to see the blessings in your every day and to be able to rejoice in getting old. Life is what you make it.

A friend in Canada sent me the link to the "Baby Boomers" and I laughed so hard it hurt. I am 62 and probably in a lot better shape than most people but I still feel the pain.

After watching I looked around the site and watched a lot of the other animations. So far every one of them have been a lot of laughs and they are also right on point.

Keep up the good work, I'll be watching for more.

Dave

The "Baby Boomers" segment was hilarious! We complain about getting old but we know it beats the alternative! Thanks to whomever contributed to this great piece. :)

Best laugh I've had in a while. And most of it true. Hope the youngsters learn a lesson. Enjoy while you can and live every moment as if it where your last.

I did not see any "Annimations" ????

So true I credit my abilities this very attitude glad everyone is catching on

I was sent this by my cousin and as an aging baby boomer I found that cartoon painfully enjoyable! Keep it up it is always good to laugh at yourself!

I loved the baby boomer, because it is so true. It made me laugh.

The cortoon is very good, but the mix with Democratic and liberal idiotic controversial stuff is stupid and out of place.

That is a gret summary of the way things are
going now! Thank a lot! JFR

BABY BOOMERS is HILARIOUS!!! My daughter sent it to me at work. Really gave me alift on an otherwise dull Friday.

how do you open this site on a MAC

You make my day! Keep up the good work!.

Very good site. Thanks.

The Baby Boomers....I sent it to all my Boomer friends, we all laughed out loud. Your video was spot on true for us.
Thanks

The Baby Boomers is real cute. But as a matter of fact, I'm 53, don't smoke, drink occasionally, normal BP, heart's in great shape, prostrate's normal, gained 20 lbs since I graduated high school in "74. Not so bad for an old fart.

However, to be fair, on the down side, I have a bit of arthritis, my knees are shot, I walk with a cane, and Mr. Viagra and I are the very best of friends. I walk 20 minutes a day to keep my wind in shape and he keeps Oscar Meyer up and ready to roll. Why do I call him Oscar Meyer? Because he plumps when I slip him in the oven.

Oh my Gosh!!! My Brother just forward me Baby Boomer it is sooooo funny! I laught through the whole thing !!!

hey I am 67 and in better shape that most baby boomers!!!

hi yall,
this is sooooooooooooooo great for the holiday's.

I just turned 61 and I loved this Baby Boomer cartoon. It was hilarious but so true! I love being a baby boomer. I am very healthy and take no medication at all. In my mind and heart, I am very young. I have friends of all ages, from small children to 90 to 100 year olds. Life is good!

This looks like most people I see cruising the aisles at Whole Foods Markets looking for dates (both kinds).

Cool site. Thanks!!!

I cannot see
I cannot pee
I cannot chew
I cannot screw
my hearing stinks
my memory shrinks
no sence of smell
I feel like HELL
the golden years have come at last
the golden years can kiss my ass

"STILL KICKING"


THE MUSIC BORN TO BE WILD, GOES GOOD WITH THE TREAD MILL EXCERSISE.
WALKING AND EXCERISE, SHOULD BE A PART OF A PERSON'S EVERYDAY LIFE, IF POSSIBLE.
AGE IS JUST A NUMBER LIKE YOU SAY, BUT SOMEDAYS I REALLY FEEL LIKE I'AM IN MY 80'S, I HAVE ALSO SEEN SOME PEOPLE IN THERE 80'S AND ARE DOING GOOD, MORE POWER TO THEM. WHEN I GET OUT OUT BED, SOMETIMES I'AM SLOW, BUT I'AM MOVING, AND THAT IS WHAT COUNTS.

Nice site. Thank you!

Great cartoon.

If we would alow God in our lives, he could give us a bunches of extra pushes on that tread mill. ha

I loved the Baby Boomer cartoon that someone sent to me. I just had to check out some of the other cartoons. What a neat place to go for GREAT LAUGHS~something very much needed these days! Anyway I joined so I won't miss any of your creations.
God Bless

Born to be wild cartoon is so awesome-Sorry to say- I can relate already at 47 yrs.old.- My son is studying animation at B.U. he'd love to talk to you! He wants to work on films-- Any advice on how to get his work seen or what steps to take to get a job???
Love you work- Thanks for the laugh and the reality check!!

great cartoon on the baby boomers loved it thanks

What can I do to hear the audio.

Are there any cartoons here that are not liberal?

In the dichotomy between NPR and RUSH, this is closer to NPR point of view.

Very good site. Thanks:-)

funny funny my belly hurt from laughing so much just what the doctor ordered!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just so funny. Enjoyed it immensley!!!

Send more. Loved it !!!

I appreciate the messages, but as with many artists I'd like to see the work you're capable unfettered from this syndicated gig. Liberal-schmiberal! Seems the way to trivialize significant vocalization of truth these days has become to say things are black or white, left or right, and ignore the marksmanship that places it right in the middle, right between the ears. That's your grey mass folks, only one you've got. Not grey jello.You're pretty spot-on Walt. Thanks.

Dear George,

For many folks it really IS jello... it could be that Handelsman is actually saying what he actually wanted to, and what do you know? He is funny, too.

...sometimes a pear is just a pear.

Hey Walt,

I've become a fan. Spot on!

I love you, Walt! You keep it simple AND get it right.

Hilarious....thanks for the laugh.

All hail the ONE WORLD ORDER~ be careful! Carolyn
YOu're great thanks

GREAT SITE KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

Walt I grew up in New Orleans where I looked at your cartoons in the Rimes Picayune each day.You have set the standard for political cartoons. While many try to imitate your style, few ever get close to the excellence for which you are famous.

AAAkkkkk if Obama gets to be President,Our money could be read as IN ALLAH WE TRUST....His middle name is Hussein and He IS a muslim and if he had a beard and towl on his head he could pass for Bin Laddin!!!

Rock on!
