    I would send her a sympathy card. Forced to do Joy’s “hair” week after week, AND with NO tip!

    2old is right. Joy’s hair has to be at least a Superfund site. After all, she only rinses it out, never washes it. I’ll bet that some archeologists would be interested in cataloging the DNA of some of the creatures living in her hair. What do you think, DAZZ?

    No, no…. poor Britta has to wash it… once a month whether it needs it or not.

    Joy no doubt goes to the cheapest salon she can find that will still give her an appointment….which means Britta is probably 83 today.

    She still uses Prell shampoo, and has upgraded to some pink conditioner or other from the Dollar Store …. and she’s happy to give Joy a hairdo from 1967…. Do they have to pay for local calls?Or is it long distance, cos Joy has had to go farther and farther from Crustwood to find a hairstylist who will tolerate her?Even long distance is cheaper than sending a card for today, though. That would be very expensive…. especially the part about getting back to day before yesterday to mail it.Otherwise, it will be a belated card… and that says “I forgot your birthday.”But a phone call says “Run and hide! The Penny woman is calling you!”Joy Penny is neck and neck with Hyacinth Bouquet in driving sales of Caller ID service.

    This whole strip today has TOO MUCH to comment on.

    First let me say to Mikie that I have not lived as long as the critters in joy’s hair- LOL!

    Then, Joy’s cup with Never Change (her hairstyle, underwear or whatever?) and Burl’s with Happy Birthday again

    My first thought was that Joy has no idea what sauté means (it just sounds more elegant to her, much like Hyacinth) because a cook would never just sauté a burger. And the cake is lemon curd. While that product COULD conceivable be made delicious, what I have tasted is generally bland and excessively sweet (like most of the Penny’s food).

    We have seen Britta’s hair a couple times lately. I think she may be recommending the style as it is the only thing she knows how to do. I say give her a call, she probably isn’t very busy and they deserve each other. Besides, how awkward is a call like that, and the Penny’s are expert at creating awkward situations.

    I think Burl may well be a descendant of Burl Einstein, clearly the brilliance has carried through the genes, just ask Burl.

    it has been years since there was such a thing as long-distance calls, so this be a very old strip. calls are based on legth not distance, & i have an unlimited phone. haven’t paid by the minutes in over 10 years. flat rate.
