Dear Wonderful,
Does it mean that the Father Time is creeping up on me as all of my
boyhood heroes pass away?
Signed,

Dear Mordant McFly,
OH MY GOD! Has the last saintly rose of goodness fallen? Is the final
sign of Ragnarok upon us? IS RUTH BUZZI DEAD?!
You know what the trouble with your boyhood heroes is? They weren't
fictional, like mine. A good fictional hero can tumble down a
waterfall, or dive into a flaming volcano, or stumble into a chamber
flooded with radiation, and they're still gonna be there for you in the
next chapter. Or at least if you hit the rewind button. Trust not in
meat, friend. Meat goes bad.
Plus, your fictional heroes can teach you how to get along with your
imaginary friends. Until they leave you. Tied up behind a shed with
honey in your hair and goat musk incense burning.
Without saying too much more about Mister Wonderful's "childhood," let
me assure you that Father Time does not creep. He has the deliberate
iron pace of a career drunkard moving towards his car, with the keys
already out, past a line of cross-armed cops at last call. In truth
barely controlled, moving forward ever so slightly faster in hopes that
momentum will cover the inevitable wavery shakes or swerves that could
send a giant farming instrument through the universe's skull.
That's what Father Time's doing. Death's just making your wake-up call.
