BEN is a new comic strip about family life as seen through the eyes of a retired couple who have offered to babysit their first grandson since their daughter went back to work. Artist Daniel Shelton touches on everyday life and today's issues with humor and affection, bringing to life characters in which we are sure to recognize ourselves and our families. Too often on the comics page we see older couples constantly bickering. All she does is shop, clean the house and nag at her husband for drinking and all he does is drink and complain about what a nag his wife is. BEN does away with the stereotypes of seniors being cranky, miserable and having limited interests. It is a more realistic portrayal of older people as active, healthy and in love after all these years.
