nothing like a trip to the barber cannot fix

I would think short hair would invite ‘noogies’.

His hero is Little Neuro, who is remarkably like Petey.

Hot so fast, Petey! Viola is apparently attracted to your new rear “Dagwood Bumstead” cowlick!

But it’s a girl. You’re supposed to put up with that (and much more) for a girl, Petey.

If I were still in high school, I’d want Viola to be my best friend.

If you have had longish hair for a while and one day you show up with it all reduced to a buzz, they will want to run their hands over it.

Also, everyone will ask if you cut it. I wore a button that said “NO. I washed it and it shrank.”

Pete has some problems and touching by another bothers him a great deal. He is very sensitive. Almost as bad as Rodrick Usher.

She mussed his hair; she’s so into Petey!

I take it Madeline’s been expecting this…

Yes, Petey. We understand. Viola has a crush on you!

Eghhh!

Keep your hands off my hair if you want to keep your hands.

Careful Petey! If that hair gets any longer you’ll turn into a cool kid!!!
