This is so funny. Poor Binkley.

This sucks big time, sorry Binkley.

My 20 year younger self would say “Wow, when did the white hair come into play?” I would answer “When did the grey start for you?”

Then we would both say “You don’t look like your hair color!”

It would be a 34 year old talking to a 54 year old.

Seems to me that Binkley grew up to be taller than his dad.

And I used to think older Binkley was “old”— now that I’m 55 I realize that his grown up version is just 30 and thinks/acts “old”

Puberty’s going to hit him like a ton of bricks!

So, that’s it! Binkley is a Talosian!

Binkley has a forehead?

That’s so funny, I just finished an episode of Star Trek Picard and this is the exact same (implied) very first question the title character’s son asked him. The response: “Enjoy it while you can.”

Like Sir Patrick Stewart. If you want a laugh do a search for images of Jean-Luc Picard with hair. Make it so.

That’s what a teacher told me would happen to me while studying male pattern baldness in eighth grade because of my high forehead. I spent my teens watching and worrying. I’m now 76 and have the same hairline although a lot thinner. Thanks Mr. Schultz for my teenage angst.

Oy! I almost feel pity for young/older Michael Binkley—but not quite….
