One day you are a strapping young man or woman with the world at your fingertips. You get invited to the hippest parties, where you party aaaalll night long, you play the latest music several decibels over what your parents would deem to be “normal”, you can eat several “Big Mac” super sized meals five minutes before going to bed and not gain a pound, then get up early the following morning after only five hours of sleep, jump out of bed and jog three miles without stretching. That is, of course, until one fateful day you wake up and start to notice a change…Suddenly the friends who use to call you every day to hang out and party stop calling and going out as much, as they are spending time with their latest “soul mate”. Then, when they do call, half of the time you just “don’t feel like being around a large crowd and loud music tonight”, or when you do party, instead of being the last one out, you call it a night at least one hour before the party ends because “there is too much hassle getting out of the parking lot when everyone is leaving at the same time”. Plus, the ringing in your ears from the loud music now seems to concern you that a possible loss of hearing could occur earlier if you keep this up too often. You start being conscious of what time you eat your last meal because there seems to be a pouch forming around what use to be a six-pack in high school. On top of that, although “McDonald’s” is the only place you use to go if you were hungry at 10pm, now you think going to the market and getting something healthier makes sense. Besides, not only is it healthier, but, your money also stretches farther and can get at least 2-3 meals for about the same price the “Big Mac” meal would have cost. After eating at least 1 hour before calling it a night, you make sure to set your alarm no sooner than eight hours later, because if you don’t get at least eight hours of sleep, you will be groggy all day and possibly need a “power nap”. Finally, after your eight and one quarter hours nights rest (after hitting snooze two times), you get out of bed and put on your jogging uniform. However, rather than just zooming out your front door like you use to, you now take at least 10 minutes to stretch all the muscles in your legs, and several elsewhere, so as to not have another “incident” which left you out of commission for 2 weeks. What you have woken up to, my friends, is the beginning of your “Mid Life Crisis”!Welcome to the world of Hamilton Hermann, Otis Snead and Blanch Elderson, the characters of the Mid Life Crisis comic strip. Each one of the characters is going through the changes of getting older in their own ways. As the three fight to succumb to the aging process, you, the reader, are taken along for the ride, not only to laugh at the ridiculous lengths these characters will take to stay hip, look young and find love, but also to look into your own inevitable fate of growing older and dealing with it in a positive, healthy way.
