Maybe I missed something but I don’t know what you’re quoting or paraphrasing. In the comic the guy is saying he’s glad they’re getting old together, not that he’s glad they feel old. I don’t want to speak for my brother, but it seems weird to assume he is unfamiliar with what aging entails. Personally, I’m thrilled my sister-in-law is getting to experience the pains of aging instead of late stage cancer treatment.

They're quoting the image's title text. Every xkcd comic has one. On desktop you can see it by hovering over the image. On mobile you generally can't see it. You can go to the mobile subdomain (https://m.xkcd.com/3172// and tap on the image, then it pops up underneath.
Ah yeah sorry I was on my phone and don’t usually use the mobile site. The rest of my point stands though. Maybe I’m too close to it but it seems like an odd response. The pains of aging are far preferable to dying of cancer at a relatively young age.
> No you don't.
