Roscoe looks sick in that last panel..,LOL

I look cool now. Do you like it?

Be funnier if it were a permanent marker

Laugh it up now, Roscoe. The kid may soon decide your face needs a more dramatic look.

We see what Nelson will look like when he’s his father’s age.

New dress, Opal? What’s the occasion?

She would think him cute if it were Halloween and he was imitating a hobo. OTOH the unshaven-beard style these days makes many men look like hobos.

You decided that the hole you had dug for yourself wasn’t deep enough, so you decided to go all the way and make it a grave, huh, Nelson?

Hope it’s not his class picture day.

He’d rather be a full Nelson than a half Nelson.

Nelson looks cute. It fits him somehow.

Roscoe is saying “BLAH”. He does not like the look of Nelson either.

Roscoe’s looks alone are quite funny.

Geez, kid, now you look like Frank or Ernest. . .

That’s his seal of approval.

Lmao!

You don’t get off in Chicago when you’re going to New York .

Roscoe, the star of the strip, makes his opinion known: “Bravo, Nelson. Bravo!”

I said he would add a moustache. I would have.

Always love the Roscoe laugh.

Well done Nelson, well done.

Looks like a “Stink Sucker”

Reminds me of Police Academy, when they covered the mouthpiece of the bullhorn with shoe polish

MOVE IT, MOVE IT

Makes you look “SO” much older …… Nelson ……. ;)

At a certain point, I took to plucking the occasional grey hairs from my eyebrows. Now, a few decades later, I had to give it up. I realized I was getting to the point where I would have draw my eyebrows back on like those strange women.

Drop your pants.

Cute Nelson but enjoy your childhood while you can

Anything worth doing is worth doing right. Perhaps this was not worth doing.

Don’t fall asleep around Nelson until gramma gets that pencil back.

Halloween isn’t for another month, kid.

I kind of wonder the reaction Nelson’s mom will make when she see’s his makeover?
