The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for July 04, 2023

An afrodent, perhaps?

can she turn herself to stone?

The curls will relax by that time!!!

The legend says that you have to look into her eyes in order to turn to stone. So the sunglasses are evidently helpful, as the hairdresser is not stoned… Presumably, they are keeping Medusa from being stoned, as well.

This is really going to date me.

One thing about Medusa was still an open question: did she or didn’t she? Only her herpetologist knows for sure.

That hairstylist must be blind.

Ratting her ’curls"?

Feed your head, the door mouse said.

Perm and a snack!

She’s really going to rock that do!

I thought Medusa had legs.

I can’t imagine the hissing that will be going on when she pour the solution on the snakes…..

Her “hair” just needs a little time to constrict and set.

The client – later: Rats! I thought you were going to take them out.

Stylist: I can for an extra fee. But think you’ll notice that the “curlers” will pretty soon “disappear” into your “hair”.

But if those snakes eat the mice, won’t they become bloated, and sag….that won’t help the perm.

The Gorgons are great tippers, so she loves have venom as customers.

As should those poor little rodents.

Vermin curlers so it’s a Verm’ not a Perm’

Then she’ll have to go sit in the sun to let her hair digest.

The perm is done once the snakes eat the mice.

Those are some curlers. Like my fiddling with strong springs, they bite. I bet Mrs. Sassoon wears her Kevlar suit next time, if she lives through the night.

Why didn’t the hairdresser turn to stone?

Medusa, medon’tsa. Is she a good tipper?

Side note, is this what Bob Dylan was singing about? Everybody Must Get Stoned?

Is she going for the mousy look.
