Opal growing a ponytail doesn’t take hard work. Think about it.

Sylvia looks fatter than usual today especially in panel 2.

Even Roscoe has doubts.

There are many things I still intend to do some — day? year? decade? Sometime.

And my Comic Dog goes: “Arc! Arc!”

A piebald pony?

I’m just thinking of Earl looking like those guys that refuse to admit the ’60s are long past and growing their ponytails out…

Wish I had my ponytail back. At 70, though, I don’t think I could convince my “Opal.”

Roscoe REWLS. Best character in the strip!

It is obvious where Nelson gets his habit of being a snitch.

Roscoe looks like he agrees with Opal? He looks like he crosses his eyes.

He’s says a LOT of things……

Surprised Opal didn’t come back with, well Earl is a horse’s a$$.

When I married my wife, her hair was very long. Before she retired, she kept her hair a lot shorter. I think that intruding grey hair made her keep her hair shorter. At first, she pulled out the offensive hair, one by one. I told her if she kept doing it, eventually she would become bald. So she started coloring her hair. I do miss her long hair but I guess that would be costly in terms of hair coloring.

He said he “could grow an awesome ponytail”… not that he would.

well…at this point. WHO KNOWS, right?

Giddyup Earl!

Roscoe is thinking “I have weird owners”.

Time for his, and my, nap.

Slim to none. Slim just left town. None isn’t even out of bed.

My husband let his beard grow out during Covid. We liked the way it looked so he kept it. He gets it trimmed up every five weeks when we go for haircuts.

He has a better chance at a ponytail than he does having a man bun.

Earl would be acting like that thing below a pony’s tail if he tried to grow one.

LOL… That will be a treat, seeing bald Earl with a pony tail. >

I grew one in 2020 because the governor here decided haircuts weren’t “essential”.
