Close to Home by John McPherson for March 12, 2021

Bleeb is safe inside next door to ensure he doesn’t get caught up in the fight that’s sure to go down any minute.

Take it up with the witch.

Hair today, gone tomorrow…climb up, cut it off, tie it to something and Tarzan down…she can regrow it later! Use the split ends to split, friends!

Picky, picky.

Perhaps but sure will make a great rope climbing activity for the kids

Who would have guessed he was an OSHA employee.

“My hair is not a Fire Escape”

“… so it doesn’t have to meet those codes.”

Climb up here and say that.

I’ll bet the “inspector” could be persuaded to look the other way if he tried out the hair express to happy town.

Given the distance to that house, Bleeb looks H-U-G-E. Does his species get bigger the further away they are?

“Then get me the heck OUT of here.”

How did she get up there?

5-4-3-2-1…. ignition… main engine burn…. aaaaand we should have liftoff… wait, there appears to be a malfunction! It’s not lifting off!

Wait…. just a moment, I’m getting some information through my headset… and it appears that they’re tellin’ me…. yes, yes, that’s correct… they’re tellin’ me that she is NOT in a rocket… that is definitely NOT a rocket! Hoo-boy, this is awkward! (ツ)

However, it can be used for emergency access by a trained rescuer. I’ll go get one.

We need to get to the root of the problem.

Obviously it is not a permanent solution.

I bet he’d use it as a fire escape if he was up there and it caught on fire.

Yeah! How would the bimbo with the long hair escape if she had to escape a fire???

It’s not handicap friendly.

Tell that guy he’s tresspassing.

A thousand years I found an old papyrus called “mad magazine”. It had a cartoon of Rapunzel. As the prince was climbing the long hair, he realized she had her arms up and he was climbing her arm hair. I’ve never been able to look at the story the same, again.

Hair that lays on the ground…a good climbing path for all kinds of bugs, especially ants.

Note that she won’t show us the hidden fire escape on the back of the tower. And the human shows NO evidence that he works for the fire department, so he is just popping off with no credentials.

Why would a fire want to escape, anyway?
