Betty by Gary Delainey and Gerry Rasmussen for July 10, 2022

Hard pass

You’ll find that life is still worthwhile

If you just smile.

“Smile”, Charles Chaplin

A smile makes a world of difference to the face, no matter the hair style.

“Beauty is but skin deep, ugly to the bone. And when beauty fades away, ugly claims its own.”

― Dorothy West, The Wedding

“Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone.”

― Dorothy Parker

“Because if you don’t know someone all that well, you react to their surface qualities, the superficial stereotypes they throw off like sparks… But once you fight through the sparks and get to the person, you find just that, a person, a big jumble of likes, dislikes, fears, and desires.”― Dorothy West, The Wedding

If you’re, I’m talking to the app now, going to present someone with different hair styles, it’s best to show the person smiling to give them the opportunity to like the new look. People don’t like to look at themselves frowning.

Captured the perpetual scowl quite well.

She has a natural RBF…

Here’s the really spooky part… She is smiling…

Bottom left reminded me of James Thurber’s House-turning-into-a-woman cartoon. https://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=4104

Put glasses on the 5th one and she becomes Betty’s sister. What an ugly, horrifying thought

This chick always wears a scowl on her face; has anybody ever seen her smiling??
