A couple of additional notes, per my last journal entry:
1) My sister, in true pedantic form, called me a liar. My eyebrows are still there, so obviously I didn’t shave my whole head. Oh, and eyelashes, and nostril-hairs, and those tiny fuzzy hairs inside my outer ear… getting the razor into some of those places would have been tough.
2) The kids are FINE with the new look. I hauled the whole family into the bathroom for the event, so that they could see me transform. My earliest memory of my father (now departed) is one of him grinning at me, and I’m wondering “who IS this guy?” When I was about three years old, he shaved his beard. So… I decided that I did NOT want any of my kids’ earliest memories of me to be a creepy weird one like that.
3) Yes, I may grow hair on top. How much, and what color it ends up being is a matter for wild speculation.
Did this sister judo kick you when you were young?
Just curious…
wild speculation
That, for some reason, makes me think of land hilarity.
Derivative bonds to track the sq in parcels of real estate
on your head, a commodity market for hair color futures, etc.
“buy low, sell high” –> hair length, and so on. gordon
gecko as a barber (“green is good!”).
After having a goatee my entire adult life, I shaved my face 3 weeks ago. I guess it’s in the air or something and it took some time to drift from the west coast. =)
The reaction I get from people is convincing me I need to make a trip to the DMV and my photo retaken.
Do we get a poll to vote on top hair color? :p
Anyone feel like starting a pool?
Oooo, I like that idea. I vote for something weird and interesting. I want to be able to recognize Howard at cons so that I can properly fangirl at him. *grins*
From one who knows.
You have several kids, you have a wife,beautiful, caring, and kind as she may be.
There will be at least a few errant silver or gray among the lusterous dark brown/whatever colored ones.

I have just three words in response to that…Nair for Men. 🙂
Ouch, ouch, ouch!. The BURN. Faces and Nair do NOT go together.
I’ve been threatened with a full body Nairing (manscaping, my fiancee calls it). They don’t sell Nair in 55 gallon drums, so I think I’m safe.

Good God. I wasn’t serious! It was a cheap joke, I swear! is right; Nair and mucous membranes do *not* go together!
Well you did kill her off in your comic. Arguing that you should shave your eyebrows kind of makes sense in that context…
My chin saw sunlight for the first time in 6 years a few months ago. I called it spring cleaning.Now is a good time of year to be fresh faced.
