As a man ages, the outside of his head begins to reflect what’s inside. SOME men’s hair turns gray in response to the gray matter inside. And some men lose their hair.
The female brain fully develops at about 21 years, and the male brain develops at about 23 years.
I studied human growth and development at UNLV. I was 20 years old when I took that class, and I thought it was so creepy that humans could reproduce before they had fully developed brain function.
My dad was like Rarl. He had the answer for everything. May not have been an accurate answer but it was an answer. And i wondered why sometimes he would display that great grin when he sometimes gave an answer!
A friend once told me that getting gray hair did not bother him, but a gray beard did. A gray beard meant that the gray hair on your head was leaking down through your brain.
Well this middle manager knows my managers hired at about 22 out of college weren’t worth a darn till they were 30 … just about 5 years after their brains matured.

Is that what happened Earl. When your brain was ripe it killed off most of your hair ?

The brain is ripe when the head sounds hollow when you “thunk” it- just like a watermelon.

So: Does a bald man’s hair fall out — or is it pushed?

Some folks I know have brains so ripe they have turned rotten!

If it’s ripe, then isn’t it ready to be plucked, Earl?

The growth migrates to your ears and nostrils.

My brain mustn’t be ripe yet. At 78, I still have a full head of hair ( and most of my teeth ).

By now, Earl’s frontal and parietal lobes have begun to atrophy. Ask any neurologist.

I think Earl’s brain isn’t fully ripened yet; he still has some hair.

Boy, today’s strip explains about everything I did before the age of 25. Not ripe yet.

Hmmm. So Earl thinks the human brain ripens like a piece of fruit?

This isn’t true for all homo-sapiens males, only the subspecies or variety known as the hairless beach apes.

I think the difference between a brain and a watermelon… A watermelon you thump… a brain you thunk.
