The boomers are in their sixties now, and their children are out of college*.

That cartoonist needs to add a few more wrinkles to the woman's face.

 

 

*PS: The Bush twins just turned 26:

And Chelsea Clinton is about to turn 28!!!

Which is to say: Not only are these Boomer offspring well out of undergraduate studies, but they are all more than old enough to have finished graduate studies!

I.e. demographically speaking, this cartoon is about a decade out of date.

You are a bit off. The first boomer just hit 62, leaving many in their 50s yet to reach 60. And for the record many boomer friends of mine have kids just entering college.

Baby boomer is an American-English term to describe a person born between 1946 and 1964.

While I always took umbrage at this designation, those birth dates have been used for decades to classify Baby Boomers.

There are literally thousands upon thousands of children of Boomers in their 40's and 50's who have children in college.
