I believe Tomkins just turned 99, not 100. Still, it's a miracle that he is still producing feature-length profiles at an age when Roger Angell was mostly just blogging (no shade, of course). As for how he's able to do it, Tomkins's recent profiles often mention his wife, Dodie Kazanjian, accompanying him on studio visits. I suspect she may be playing a bigger role than that.
