The Life-Story of an 86-year-old... In Rage Comics. - General

While I know this subforum might not be the best place to post it, but I decided to do it anyway because I think this deserves attention. Also taken from Memebase. Edit: 86! Not 82! My bad! [img]http://chzragecomics.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/life-story.jpg[/img]

D'aawwwwww.

Actually, it's from f7u12 on reddit, but it's awesome nonetheless.

So sad yet so beautiful.

Although I generally dislike rage faces, if this really is made by an 86 year old, it really is awesome.

I expected this to be some stupid troll comic, but I was really touched by this story, and it really made me think of what the rest of my life might be like.

Oh wow.

what's the point of the rage comic at all if it doesn't add anything to the fucking text

[QUOTE=Akuma_lektro;33204377]what's the point of the rage comic at all if it doesn't add anything to the fucking text[/QUOTE] It's the internet.

old people are pretty cool

Heh, I'm going to see my Grandpa today, staying in a hotel near where he lives for about 3 days, since he's turning a 100, I'm sure he'll have a big story like this as well.

Would rather read about his life than have my eyes burned by those fucking templates.

[QUOTE=ultra_bright;33204313]So sad yet so beautiful.[/QUOTE] What is sad about this? Its about an 82 year old man still celebrating his life, which I think is absolutely incredible.

[QUOTE=StormHammer;33204825]What is sad about this? Its about an 82 year old man still celebrating his life, which I think is absolutely incredible.[/QUOTE] I don't know about him but personally i find life stories depressing almost all the time.

I see my grandparents every year, yet I never really talk to them, don't ask them for advice or tell them much about myself. I feel like a douchebag. They're pretty cool, but I always disregard them a little. No more.

[QUOTE=Akuma_lektro;33204377]what's the point of the rage comic at all if it doesn't add anything to the fucking text[/QUOTE] Because no one wants to read it if it won't have silly faces in every panel.

I think it's the fact that they've experienced so much, but don't necessarily have much time left to experience more. Pretty nifty how quickly the story was told though, in perspective.

This was a nice read.

[QUOTE=pie_is_good;33204898]Because no one wants to read it if it won't have silly faces in every panel.[/QUOTE] Yep. If it was pure text it would've been ignored by pretty much everyone. Adding silly faces vastly increased it's popularity, I imagine.

I remember when the meme was in 4 boxes. This is bullshit.

Fantastic, eye-opening read. Thanks for sharing.

That was touching how he reunited with his daughter. I have to say that I generally dislike stories like this told in rage comic form, but this is quite the exception.

cool old people seem to be increasing in number

[QUOTE=BlkDucky;33205138]Yep. If it was pure text it would've been ignored by pretty much everyone. Adding silly faces vastly increased it's popularity, I imagine.[/QUOTE] It was a good read, the rage faces were completely irrelevant. I read it for the read.

I despise the fact that you have to make every decent story into a comic full of ragefaces to keep the internet's attention for more than 10 seconds, but getting past that, a decent story Can't help thinking it's fake, though

Any at all. It won't troll anyone or anything.

Now I just feel terrible
