Beards are no so popular in France these days

Let it go Rodney. It’s been obvious that you lacked testosterone since the comic strip began. Maybe your armor was too tight and it crushed your “testosterone makers”.

So it’s the ‘look like a terrorist’ month?

I have no pair and I am follically participating in Movember, bet with friends. It could be that Rodney is just cursed with sparse light face fur. Some people had 5 o’clock shadow at 7 am, some it’d take four days. Rodney should be proud he’s got them all going and they produced something! I will say especially, ginger seems to show up the least unless it comes in THICK

The only place I have seen this grow a beard in November thing is in this strip and the comments. What is the reason for it?

For years Canada has had a program called “Movember” where men grow mustaches during the month of November. It’s a cancer awareness program to gain financial support for prostate and testicular cancer. I may not be 100% accurate on that. I live in the States and watch Canadian television on occasion.

I hadn’t heard of this either. Here in PA, hunters grow beards in November for facial camouflage in anticipation of deer season.

You praise someone’s mustache and now she’s not your friend any more.

Sorry, but I have to say this because it is how I feel about it. Facial and body hair are absolute unmitigated filth.

This is why I start in September so I look like the rest after a week, but for me its been 6 weeks by the start of November.

I’ve had ‘the Col’ Sanders/Kenny Rogers look’ since the mid-60’s and now at this late age, for some dam reason, I’ve picked up ‘Sebaceous something or other’ that demands a daily scrub and rub with various and sundry anti-dandruff shampoos plus treatments and a fresh razor every day, thus a bald face. Nobody recognizes me anymore..I’m beginning to think that a haircut and shave at a rather grubby-looking barber shop a cupple years ago while on the road was a grave mistake.

I am not hairless, but I am occasionally considered clueless…

When I was in my 20’s I tried growing a mustache to see how I’d look with it, after 6 weeks I could taste the hairs of the mustache, but I couldn’t see anything so I gave up. Even today I can go three of four days without shaveing and no one even notices.

Now we know Henry’s species, he’s a Bearded Dragon!

How does Henry’s Beard grow through all those Scales?.

It’s actually “Audition for a guest spot on Duck Dynasty” month.
