    She’s not angry, she’s just explaining the reason for her haircut.

    If she would just learn some simple page formatting…Click on the balloon, and pull it forward, in front of her hair…or highlight the text and shrink it to fit…She could keep her glamorous high-piled “do” and lose the Elvis look.

    Didn’t it used to be that when Patty did a lot of talking nobody else got to speak in the same panel?

    Back off, animal-disparagers! Patty looks great with her new hairdo, and now we all have at least a chance to learn the Secret of a Successful Life! —If only Pastis would tell us!

    What a load of bull, and everyone bought it. Bubbles can, and do routinely, go in front of people, and their hair. He swapped to a horrible hair style from a pretty cool one, got flak for it, and is not trying to justify the move, by lying in a strip. Good job. As a former lawyer, I would have thought you knew better. Oh, wait…

    If there were a 5th panel; Pig would be hysterically screaming about the meaning of a successful life.

    Aw, c’mon guys. Little tiny implants, makeup, etc. would help Patty gain some femininity.

    If she wants short hair, she should try an Uma Thurman / Prince Valiant bob. The only thing more wrong-looking than a croc with hair is a croc with George Jetson hair.

    God obviously never intended us to have a lot of things, or do a lot of things, that technology has enabled us to do. Of course I was being sarcastic – but the fact that you took the opportunity to start slinging cheap-shot casual insults says a lot more about the caliber of person YOU are than my remark does about me.

    Do you really want to take “successful life” advice from someone who married Larry?

    Would’nt that be the fault of the cartoonist, in the life a strip you don’t even think of a speech balloon so I don’t see why looking like Marge in The Simpson should be worse than Thel in Family Circus!

    I like Patty’s new hair. Her old hair didn’t look very feminine.
