Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for June 21, 2011

Truth in advertising; not always appreciated.

Now if Mort would diversify into pants that ride down round the rear end, then wow he’d be rich!

I saw a fellow on a bicycle today with short cropped hair that was brown with a ponytail that began up near the top of his head that was orange and thin, wrapped in a rubber band. He had short cropped mutton chop side burns that he left long at the bottom of the trim line that was also dyed orange.

Hee Haw

I’d be Mort-ifed if I got a haircut there.

Oh, like I need HIS help to look that way!

Rather coincidental timing…

Man, who let all the old farts on the comment thread today (said a guy who is old enough to be an old fart too :-)?Careful Wiley. Pretty soon you’re going to start yelling at those damn kids to get off your lawn.

I barely remember a sign in the barbers window, “Long hair needs cutting too”. Key word, barely.

He’ll need to get a few tattoos to be convincing.

Clip joint.

Rough timing on this strip when one of the stars of Jackass was killed in a car crash last night…

what ever happened to the old “chili bowl” haircut?

Speaking of Jackasses : R.I.P. Ryan Dunn

“Barber” has been replaced with “Hairstylist”.

I went through the long hair phase when I was young. And yes, I now realize that most of us did look like jackasses.

Maybe he doesn’t have any business because of his attitude!I’d give him the brush off, too.

At the high school where I work part-time, the deans LOVE the saggy, crotch-at-the-knees pants. Makes it so easy for us fifty-somethings to catch a fleeing teen…

The jackass comment seems timely – if only he did the cuts drunk with the scissors in his bum – then the youngsters would be lining around the block!

Craig, I could be wrong but I think the sentiment on the sign is supposed to be Mort’s, not Wiley’s. Given the amount of ankle he’s showing and the scowl on his face, I don’t know that we’re entirely meant to identify with him.

Hair? What hair?

Who is a star of Jackass? Who is Jackass? And why do they get killed?

re: the guy with the orange ponytail - must have been Portland, OR

Too much fun! Thanks, Wiley. (Also loved the Mom in the boxing ring yesterday.) Keep ’em coming!

“Satire is what closes in New Haven.”

It’s a fine line. There are SOME cartoonists from whom, if this gag had come from their pens, I would certainly take Mort’s opinion as the cartoonist’s, and that can get confusing.

The politics of Glenn McCoy’s editorial cartoons sometimes seep into “The Duplex,” but when Eno complains about, say, Michael Moore or the ACLU, it doesn’t seem to have registered on McCoy that he himself has firmly established Eno as an idiot…

My son had a long hair phase. It lasted until the first football practice when he got tackled by his hair.

@RoadTrip3500: Now THERE’S a Non Sequiter- “Stars” of Jackass…

better than old man haircuts … all the same

Ha ha! Good one, Wiley. :)

Sorry Wiley, but when you have a “queue jumpers should go to hell”, “mature people don’t go in for boxing” and “the youth of today have stupid hair” threepeat going surely some if that stems from grumpy old man syndrome? :)

The solution for Jackass haircuts was revealed in today’s Baby Blues.http://www.seattlepi.com/comics-and-games/fun/Baby_Blues/2011-06-21/

>D I N G ! !<

Like many affectations of youth; hair today, gone tomorrow…

@dfowensby…maybe mange treatment trainee.

@Thirdguy…I congratulate you on moving beyond training wheels.

@Earl Wash…I myself am thinking…feather duster.

All kidding aside, I support anyone who has the desire to do and look as they wish. I have always embraced that philosophy in my own life and never judge another for doing the same. I think life is about experimentation, if you don’t then you miss out and what if.
