Back in early 1985 - an astonishing 33 years ago - I was sitting at the table in my bedsit room in Shearer Road, Buckland (near Southsea), working on the WHIZZER & CHIPS comics libraries. Resizing pages like MINNIE'S MIXER and HARRY'S HAUNTED HOUSE, I was amazed to think that many of those pages were ones I'd have read as a kid back in 1969 and '70. So there I was, 15 or 16 years later, re-experiencing my youth while earning a living, and feeling extremely blessed to be doing so.
What hits me smack-dab in the kipper today though, is that the length of time between first reading those stories and preparing them for a new audience seemed almost like forever, whereas the period between then and now - more than twice the duration - seems like only a few years ago at most. I know I've asked the same question before, but how can 33 years seem a shorter span of time than 15 or 16? No matter how many times I think about it, it always amazes me.
Some of you will probably say that, to a 26 year old, 15 years is a more significant period of time than 33 years is to someone almost in their 60s (in the first case, it's nearly three fifths of one's life, in the second it's more than half), but surely proportions don't fully account for it? For example, 15 years to a 30 year old would still seem a longer duration than 30 years to a 60 year old, and the proportions are exactly the same in each instance. Is it just simply down to the fact that time seems to pass quicker the older we get?
Perhaps it's down to perceptions. When we're younger, things make more of an impression on us and there are usually more frequent changes in life than when we're older. Then, things seem pretty much the 'same old, same old' and our routine doesn't change much, if at all, until retirement. But does that adequately explain things? Probably not, but at least this post gives me the excuse to show you a couple of pages from Whizzer & Chips. To think that I read these strips back in 1969 and may well have resized them for the IPC comics libraries in 1985 is still a source of wonder to me. (I'd have to check to say for sure, but don't have the time at the moment.)
Still scratching your head as to why I find the topic of time so fascinating? Don't worry about it - just enjoy these two pages by ANGEL NADAL and REG PARLETT. They're well-worth wading through my incomprehensible nonsense any day of the week.
