Did Mike think he wasn’t a dork before the haircut?

He looks good like that.

It’s not about the hair. If they were having enough you-know-what, he could be coiffed like a skunk and he wouldn’t care. Or maybe that’s just me.

Love the tail on the chair!

It grows back!

Usually, the difference between a good haircut and a bad haircut is six weeks, except in this case. I have never seen Mike so angry. Is this the first step down the road to the big D?

When I was a young man, as Mike is in this arc, I was much more self-conscious and concerned with appearance. I had many clashes between my own self-image and what others wanted or perceived. Mike is just beginning to realize that his sense of self has become totally incompatible with hers.It’s a case of hair today, gone tomorrow.

You picked her, Mike. Next time give the choosing a bit more thought, shall we?

My wife doesn’t like my long hair(hasn’t been cut since the 90s) – I told her to either cut like she likes(she was a hairdresser) or find someone who will cut it like she likes. Every barber I have ever gone to has not done it to her satifaction.Sadly, the center part is getting wider….

Mike, if you wanted a trim, you should’ve paid your $5If you wanted a cut & style, you should’ve paid your $40.If you wanted it for free, you toss your di and get what you pay for.

BTW, I think it’s a big improvement. Except, of course, for you there’s the heart failure first.

At least they’re talking.

Some people are saying the same thing about our founding documents.

It doesn’t matter whether it looks good, only whether it looks like the image of himself he wants to project. Aren’t we all like that when it comes to our clothes and hair?
