When Superheroes Get Old
The years haven't been kind to Peter Parker, it seems...
Geriatric superheroes appear to be all the rage these days, as a number of sites are linking to Italian artist Donald Soffritti's illustrations of Superman, Spider-Man and a variety of other super-types in their Golden Years. Soffritti's work is great, and I can't help but giggle every time I look at his take on DC speedster The Flash.
(And please, for everyone's sake, don't tell DC/Warner Bros. about this stuff.)

Along the same lines, BoingBoing points us to a similar piece that fast-forwards the age of popular cartoon characters, including Popeye, Felix the Cat and Dennis the Menace (my personal favorite).
