This is a real article from the New York Times this past Sunday. Glenn Close and Sally Field, Kyra Sedgwick and Holly Hunter, and then Minnie Driver. Minnie Driver is in fact one year older than me, and while I am biologically old enough to be a grandparent, I have to protest that neither Minnie Driver nor I am “of a certain age”.

Meanwhile, onto the subject of hairy legs. I’ve been getting some feedback that Finn and Charlie’s legs are perhaps disturbingly hairy. “Hirsute”; “like bears.” I didn’t think so myself, but, you know, I may be a little odd. I have edited last week’s cartoon to make the legs look more normal. See how responsive I am? I doubt, however, that I’ll go back and edit the cartoons from last year, when their legs were just as hairy, not to mention the occasional chest.
