Overview

You'll be delighted by the antics of Tilly and Elmer, a pair of frisky sexagenarians from the Midwest, and I hope you'll enjoy applying your creative talents to showing them to be the colorful characters they are. The 30 drawings in this book are based on a selection of illustrations from The Sexy Seniors of South Branch, a series of sweet and funny short stories recounting their adventures and misadventures. This book will be especially fun for grownups who have never really grown up! Tilly and Elmer have been married for close to fifty years, they're still in love, and they know what to do about it. They would appear to the casual observer to be the definition of an ""old married couple""; but while they ARE a couple, AND married, they don't consider themselves OLD. In fact, they still feel like teenagers most of the time, although sometimes events remind them that they aren't quite as athletic, skinny, or flexible as they were five decades ago. No matter. They try to recapture their youth anyway; and when they can't quite recapture it, they at least give it a good chase. Along the way, they have some fun and get themselves into, and usually out of, some hilarious situations. What they've lost over the years in body tone, they've gained in expertise, imagination, and good humor; after all, you don't have to be young to be in love and enjoy your share of ""quality time"" together. The selected illustrations in The Sexy Seniors of South Branch Coloring Book are sweet, funny, nostalgic, and just a little racy. If you find yourself falling in love with Tilly and Elmer, well, you won't be the first!

Author Information

Gene Clements is a retired architect and educator. He began the Tilly and Elmer series by writing the first couple of paragraphs of a story about a frisky older couple. His friends thought they were funny and wanted to know how the story was going to end. Now they know, for better or worse! Gene grew up in a small town in the Midwest although he now lives in California. He thinks he's eighteen, but he's really the same age as Tilly and Elmer. These stories aren't necessarily autobiographical in any specific detail (and he wouldn't tell if they were) but the flavor of the stories will be familiar to many readers, especially if they've found their athleticism diminished but their friskiness intact or if they grew up at a time and place where sex was never mentioned, except to warn young people against it.
