In the thick of it

He had a crew cut, then the crew bailed out!

Some say that baldness skips a generation, so Nelson is seeing his future.

HAHAHAHA

Nelson’s a little too young to know about genetics, so he probably thinks his great grandmother just cut off all of his grandfather’s hair. But apparently, both parents contribute genetic tendencies toward baldness, but the mother’s contribution is supposedly greater…

Earl should read some hair-raising stories!

As W.C. Fields would say, “Get away kid, you bother me”.

The wise man goes bald front to back. The ignorant man goes bald back to front. —Old saying.

Roscoe seems to be giving Earl the side eye in final panel.

I’m imagining Earl with thick, curly hair!

The combover is the worst

Now he comes his hair with a washcloth.

I’m 83 and still have all my hair. My father also had all his hair at 83. My mother’s brother was bald, my paternal grandfather was bald. I only had daughters. So, it depends on the individual person.

Poor Grampa…….. can’t even read his paper in peace

same with me. AND same results

Two strands of hair, no problem

My brothers and I had to have crew-cuts … the reason we also have skin cancer on our scalps.

Attaboy Nelson…..

It thinned out most goodly.

Nelson, admire your future. It’s shiny and bright. And nearly hairless.

pretty easy to get a comb thru those two on top!

Per my grandfather, what his mother did that made him go bald was put castor oil on it to get rid of lice. They pulled it all out to wipe with.

Bwa ha ha ha!

No reason to visit a barber now.
