The Ups & Downs of Growing Old Disgracefully - Tapa dura

There are lots of myths about ageing and this book is going to dispel them all. Growing old doesn't mean you have to give up a single thing; let's face it, we all know youth is wasted on the young. Just because you need glasses to find your glasses (at which point you discover they're already on your head), it doesn't mean the fun is over. Even if it's going to embarrass the hell out of your family, you have to get out there and take the bull by the horns. You're a silver surfer, a person in their Golden Years; you owe it to yourself to write your life in large print (otherwise how will you be able to read it?). In The Ups and Downs of Growing Old Disgracefully, featuring 120 brilliant cartoons by Private Eye's Tony Husband, you'll learn the joys of raging against the dying of the light. In these slightly surreal pages, you'll discover the joys of bunjee-jumping with old friends, dressing to impress from the Oxfam shop, and how to find the Corsa after it's parked itself on the other side of the road without telling you. This is life in the fast lane.

Tony Husband is one of the UK's best-known cartoonists. He has drawn cartoons for many leading publications, including Private Eye, The Spectator, The Times, Playboy magazine and Punch. His Yobs strip (Private Eye) is one of the longest-running comic strips in the UK, and one of the funniest. Tony has won more than 15 major awards, including the prestigious Pont Award.
