In this cartoon, the residents of the “Twilight Retirement Home” are preparing for a speed dating evening, and the scene is wonderfully chaotic.
Some residents use walkers or canes, and yet they are determined to participate in the evening’s matchmaking activities. A sign clearly announces: “TONIGHT! SPEED DATING.”
The humour comes from the contrast between the idea of “speed dating” – an activity usually associated with young, sprightly participants – and the elderly residents, who are anything but fast.
The cartoon gently exaggerates this contrast, creating a warm, playful scene that shows finding companionship and having fun knows no age limit.
This scene has been made available on some fun Zazzle products, such as this coffee mug – a perfect gift for anyone with a taste for lighthearted humour: Speed Dating Cartoon Coffee Mug >>
