The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for June 25, 2022

Uncle Ted is a salty character.

You look great the way you are, Uncle Ted.

I never could understand those who worry about going bald, if I were bald it would save me a lot of money at the barber shop.

But bald men like you, Brutus, are sexy.

I don’t mind the gray. At least my scalp matches my beard now.

As for Brutus, I would refer his case as being blessed with a lot of clear-cut timber.

My seasoning started getting salty in college.

Turned 68 today and have a full head of salt and pepper hair.

As ‘they’ say: “They don’t put marble tops on cheap furniture.”

But then, ‘they’ also say “You don’t need a roof on an empty shed.”

I have been lightening my dirty blonde hair for over 50 years and I am so tired of it, but it just won’t go grey on it’s own.

I’m happy to say that for close to 62 years my hair is 99% pepper.

I always said that it could turn gray as long as it didn’t turn loose. My hair has been almost all white since my mid 50s, but I do have a VERY thin spot in the back.

we can fix that! Hope you don’t sneeze too often from pepper. ;)

What does the guy who has a thick black coarse hair growing out of his nose know about being distinguished looking?

When my beard started getting gray, I colored it to black. A year or so later, I happened to stop coloring and noticed the beard was an iron gray. Wonderful.

You and me both my friend. You and me both. However, my white hair befits my age and makes my students think that l am their grandfather and so l get away with a lot in the classroom and the administration…..

Stopped growing a beard every year when the pepper disappeared. I had that urban chic wino in a dumpster look.

My dad always said white was fine as long as it didn’t leave home.

Ah, yes…. Pepper – my favorite condiment/seasoning. I may have to sprinkle it in my hair now. : )

Every time I read a panel with Uncle Ted, I read it first as Uncleted. LOL

When I was young I grew a mustache to look older. Now that I’m older I shaved it off to look younger.

More Uncle Ted and less mama! But she is the butt of many good jokes, sad to say.

I started turning gray at 20 years old, so for many people, my previous brown hair would be abnormal. My wife and children included!

still have a full head of hair at my advanced age and still have an empty head…

I wouldn’t mind the salt but, unfortunately, the amount of it in the shaker has decreased at an alarming rate over time.

Me too Uncle Ted. Me too.

I never could understand all the concern and worry about going bald either oldpine52. My thinking is if that is how God made you as you age, then age gracefully and let nature take her course

I could use a rebirth at the crown where it’s thinning. Otherwise there’s plenty on the sides.
