Too Old for Summer Camp and Too Young to Retire

Jeff MacNelly's single-issue comic, published by St. Martin's Press in 1988, captures the timeless, wry humor of middle age with a single, sharp punchline. The book distills MacNelly's celebrated cartooning style—honed in his long-running syndicated strip "Shoe"—into a concise, relatable gag about the awkward, hilarious gap between youthful adventure and quiet retirement. Though brief, it stands as a charming, one-off artifact of MacNelly's keen observational wit.
