When I went to contacts, my dogs freaked out about it. Surprising since they are more about scent than visuals. My St. Bernard showed his displeasure for years by leaving a nose print on my glasses. Afterwards, he very careful stuck his nose toward my eye.
I used to have a beard and stache. Got tired of the beard but still had a droopy stache. Kept cutting it back over a couple years, then I realized I looked like a cop. So clean shaven again.
I remember when I was about five my dad – who had worn a mustache throughout my entire life – came downstairs having shaved it off. He managed to convince me for what seemed like a long time that he was actually a different person called ‘Uncle Bob’.
The girl toddler does not seem pleased while Goldie seems quite happy. I like the Super Mario reference, surprised there was not a Tom Selleck one thrown in for good measure…..
Can’t decide which part is my favorite in this strip: the Woman’s jaw clip holding the towel…ROFL! Burt’s comment “with an R, dude,” which I plan to work into conversation ALL day long. Or the Girl’s swipe, which is clearly a cat claw swipe! (Picture it with a hiss). So many choices! LOVE it!!
One of my cats used to get right in my face and start licking my beard. She obviously thought it needed grooming. And she’d get upset when I shaved it off.

The Hubs grew a beard and moustache for our Church’s “Last Supper” reenactment at the Maundy Thursday service. Our 2-yr-old was cool with it. Daddy was Fuzzy Face, she was Peachy Face and her beloved Patches cat, was Furry Face. Aftewards, Hubs decided that was not his thing, he prefered clean-shaven and she watched him clip and shave it all off his face. THEN she decided she didn’t like it and told him to put it back on!!!
Every time the man loses some hair, I want to swipe at him too! My man still has his tail (thank goodness) but the whiskers and beard are seasonal (boo! hiss!). I love beards and mustaches!
I tried to let the quarantine beard grow in – mostly out of laziness (hey, I’m not going anywhere) – but have discovered that I apparently have several bald spots around my chin. I’m capable of growing just a mustache, but apparently it is too evocative of the Boy’s sperm donor for his mother’s liking.
When children see a sudden change in a parent’s appearance, they find it frightening and disturbing. I can remember feeling that way the time Mom dyed her hair.
Anyone else remember the Star Trek: Next Generation scene where Crusher is commenting on beard being an affectation (if they would only admit it’s just a fashion thing) and betting the guys that if she wins the poker hand, they’ll shave their beards?
Puckmosis: It has come to our attention that there seems to be a problem with date palm trees. To you, Beatrixia.
Beatrixia: Word has it we need to “Save the dates.” Puckmosis how are dates used?
Puckmosis: Elvis-Anum, please bring out the chart, thanks. As you can see, figs are a healthy fruit that is often found wrapped in a delicious pastry dough. Our Royal Herald is especially knowledgeable about this.
Queen Catshepsut the Golden: Perhaps Burt-Ra and Trevor-Hotep can provide some more insight on this situation.
Enter Burt-Ra and Trevor-Hotep
Burt-Ra: Your Majesty, there appears to be some misunderstanding. The noble Steed Avenger can explain.
Avenger: Yes, Your Majesty. The announcement is not save the date, but as written here:
1. a jeweled ornamental band worn on the front of a woman’s hair.2. a high diadem of three crowns worn by the Pope.3. a crown-turban worn by ancient Persian kings, also called a diadem.
Did you know that there is a species of monkey called “diademed monkey,” Cercopithecus mitis, family Cercopithecidae, also called a samango, that name derived from the Zulu insimango. Seen face on, the monkey’s brow ridge appears to be a head-ring, the emblem of a veteran Zulu warrior.
“So what is the “tiara” of a Zulu warrior made from?" you foolishly ask.
His hair and cow dung. The dung is applied moist, formed, and dries in the sun. One has to be very tough to be a Zulu warrior, and not the least bit squeamish.
OT: I am asking for prayers, purrs and good thoughts. My mom just called and my dad is in the hospital. He fell and it sounds pretty bad. They are taking him to a bigger hospital right now. I was just at my parents yesterday and sat outside with my mom and talked to her a bit. My dad who has dementia and doesn’t really do much didn’t come out and I didn’t go in to see him because I thought I was going to see him tomorrow. That is the worst part of all this, not seeing my parents as much as I normally do.
Funny, I just recently watched a YouTube video of kids reacting to their fathers after they shaved their beards off. Most of the kids cried, some probably thinking he was a stranger.
Wow … quite a new look for the Man. Wonder if he’ll stick with it?
I can kinda relate to the shaving debate, too. A few months ago, my dad shaved off the mustache he’d had for fifty-plus years. He doesn’t look dramatically different now since the ‘stache was so short, but it’s a substantial change, nonetheless.
I had the same reaction from my pre-teen daughter when I shaved off my beard. It took a while for her to get used to dad with just the handlebar mustache.
During the lock-downs I had a friend that quite shaving. Turns out he was a VERY hairy man and within a couple months had an amazingly full beard. By the time he had to shave it it was below his chest. During this time his daughter was born. On the morning he shaved it she screamed and cried at the sight of this now clean-shaved person pretending to be her dad. It took a few days before she accepted him.

How can people be so hairless
How can people be so uncool
Easy to be bald
Easy to catch cold
How can people think it’s appealing
How can they ignore split ends
Easy to confound
Easy to let hair go
Especially people who dislike changes
Who care about evil and social distance
Do you not care about your own crowd
How about those you offend, they need amends
