In modern times, reaching 30 years and older as a human being isn't that special. For comics, however, reaching 30 years, especially in modern times, is an amazing feat, for there are only just a handful of comics and cartoons that have survived that long. 60-year-old Mark Parisi has managed to achieve this rare milestone, but he's not stopping there, and the number keeps climbing: Mr. Parisi has been doing his "Off the Mark" cartoons ever since 1987, and the number is rounding up to 35 years now. That's more than half a solid lifetime of cartoons and comics. My bet is, he wouldn't be doing it if people didn't appreciate the comics as much as they did: it has reached thousands of newspapers and millions of hearts throughout the years, and been in tons of holiday cards. So without further ado, let's see how accurate the jokes are; I have a feeling that they're going to be a little bit "Off the Mark!" Enjoy!
