    I think that “books”, “gardening” and “family” were meant to be functions, each of which was called each year over the 88 year lifespan.

      It effectively runs:

      books(); gardening(); family()
books(); gardening(); family()
books(); gardening(); family()
books(); gardening(); family()
books(); gardening(); family()
books(); gardening(); family()
...

      it runs those 3 functions 88 times, there’s no hint as to what they do.

        We aren’t given the full eulogy in the comic, only the first lines of the main function. I imagine that it would continue with defining the functions.
