Arlo gets his hair cut, 1997. I’m sure I have run this little series of comic strips on the web before, but it’s been a long time. A point of trivia: Arlo had his locks shorn right before the family vacation to the beach, where they discover young Mary Lou in a family way. I have very fine (as in “thin”) uninteresting hair. As a younger man, I wished for a thick mane of hair like the tennis pro Bjorn Borg. From my current perspective, I am grateful to have hair at all.

I remember that. It’s from when Arlo went to see his Pneumatic & Pulchritudinous Hair Stylist.
Re previous discussion: Any female above the age of consent has my blessing to appear before me unclothed at any and all times. However, I reserve the right to avert my gaze.
Well, there goes any hope of dating you I suppose. Laughing icon hete.
Hair today, Hair gone tomorrow. What I want to know is what is up with Arlo’s nose!
JJ, I can empathize with you on the hair. Mine was practically white blond as a child, then brown, now about 50/50. Always thin, and now thinning on top. One good thing about being 6’5″ is that no one sees your bald spot while you are standing.
Hair today, gone tomorrow.
Jackie, please note that I very seldom do avert my gaze. So all is not lost 🙂
That should help me skip the pastries at LA Madeleine for lunch then!
Just gave a half pint or more of blood to lab, need food. Thinking vegetarian omelette and fruit. Helps to have a plan.
My hair is my own. My color mine. Beauticians drool over it. I take good care of it. I am short, you look down on top of my hair.
Jackie, so much I could say about the above post 😉
I know, I leave myself wide open. I had the planned meal and got out with one Madeleine for 99 cents. How many calories?
Not enough calories to make me avert my gaze, I’ll warrant.
I “sneaked a peek” of A & J today at work, but didn’t take the time to put in my name, etc. so I could post…
I did want to make a comment regarding the “male hair” conversation – I think many men put too much emphasis on the presence or lack of hair. Some of the sexiest men I have ever seen, or known, were bald or partially bald. Hey gals, what about Sean Connery? Remember Telly Savalas? Personal knowledge agrees with the reputation of the celebrities.
So don’t obsess about the hair, fellows…
When I grew a beard it was Sean Connery style and I liked it but mbh hates beards and I want to be able to kiss her so no beard.
Elaine never minded the beard, which I’ve had since ’55, except for my first two years on the BSU faculty. Hair? Dad had a full head of hair when he died in ’58 at 80, by which time his black hair was s & p. Mom’s bros. were bald by 50 or so, which is where I got my baldness genes, and hers was pretty thin, and very gray when she left on Ides of March ’71 at 78. I’ve enough crown hair for a comb-over but why bother? Have pretty much stuck with a crew cut since JHS, and now shave my dome weekly, buzz-cut the rest every 3-4 wks. Girls have never complained. Peace,
Thinking about hair. I love beards but not of the Duck Dynasty style. Sean Connery, absolutely. Last year I told one of my editors at a big boat show I loved to kiss bearded men. He said I’d come to the right place.
No experience with bald men. Hirsute?

Although I’m surprised that Mr. Kipling kissed enough men to know that.

I assumed a bearded man would have an accompanying mustache?
