I had a pretty strong feeling that at some point today I would get an e-mail dogging me on the whole “May/December” theme of today’s strip. After all, in a modern world, 10 years really isn’t that big of a gap. So hats off to Pete for making that call.
Of course, my excuse was that A Guy Thing is like the only movie barely worth talking about this week. And, after frying my neural receptors on consecutive hours of Super Smash Bros. Melee, I couldn’t come up with a more topical gag.
Pete offered a better suggestion in the “May/December” category citing the near glacial age difference between Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta Jones in Entrapment. For the record, there are about 40 years between the two. That’s two generations for those keeping score at home.
If you’ve got an even MORE drastic age difference for romances in film (and I’m talking the age of the actors, not the characters – so no funny time travel stuff) send it in, and you’ll also… be mentioned casually..
