Irving: I hate my hair. There. I said it. I haven't spent one second thinking about it in 25 years...And now I can't stand it! IT'S OLD!! OUT OF DATE!! What am I supposed to do? Get it "styled"?? "Re-shaped"?? Mr. Hillman: It's god's gift to men, son. When we finally have to start paying attention to our hair, it all falls out so we don't have to worry about it. Irving: AAACK!!

Look at your mother’s father - if he’s bald, you’ll be bald, too.

ej…are you sure you didn’t mean your mother’s husband?
Anyhow, a lot of men seem to wear their hair close-cropped these days…Irving should just get a close buzz…that way when he does go bald he won’t notice it.

male pattern baldness is inherited from the mothers genetics.
that’s right women make men go bald :)

I didn’t know it was inherited from the mom’s side of the family. I thought it was the dad. My husband’s father was bald and now so is he. I know another family that had 3 sons, the father is bald and two of the sons, both of which became bald in their 20’s. The youngest is in his 30’s and shows no sign of going bald yet.

The freeloading in-laws are still around?
Forget this strip. I stopped reading it in hopes the storyline would run its course, but it doesn’t seem to be happening.

Male pattern baldness is inherited from mom’s side – if maternal grandpa is/was bald, chances are you will be too.
