Why do you think that?
Templo S.U.D. over 12 years ago
now we’ll NEVER know the secret of a successful life!
naturally_easy over 12 years ago
Yeah, but now she can’t hang out at the country western bar.
margueritem over 12 years ago
She’s not angry, she’s just explaining the reason for her haircut.
mojitobaby over 12 years ago
OK, Pastis, now explain why breast implants are a bad idea.

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?
Sisyphos over 12 years ago
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!

Hence, the reason Marge Simpson works on TV.

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…
finale over 12 years ago
If there were a 5th panel; Pig would be hysterically screaming about the meaning of a successful life.

the eighties must have been sustained silence in the comics
Casey Southards over 12 years ago
OKAY!
sandigilbo over 12 years ago
Aw, c’mon guys. Little tiny implants, makeup, etc. would help Patty gain some femininity.

So what is the secret of a successful life?
Hoodude over 12 years ago
Hair ball…
Sherlock Watson over 12 years ago
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.

BTW, how come we can all hear the asinine things that that fathead Rush keeps saying?
Popeyesforearm over 12 years ago
Imagine how smart Homer would be if Marge’s hair wasn’t in the way!
mojitobaby over 12 years ago
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?
bmonk over 12 years ago
So—the secret of a successful life is short hair?
flintcrow over 12 years ago
I think she looks like a game show host.

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