Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for September 16, 2016

Mom is hoping you will also become a Sharp Dressed Man.

In ius voco spurius…

I think Calvin’s mom must have had a crush on Billy Gibbons ;)

Calvin will be the ultimate Beer Drinker and Hell Raiser !

I hope you don’t sit and wait Calvin. Unless you got hypertrichosis, you ain’t growing a beard for a while. Maybe you can ask Hobbes to lend you some of his fur.

Maybe Calvin could become Rip Van Tinkle?!

Well; all you really need is white glue and to source some hair somewhere and your sure to be a hit. It pays to know where your dads Tilley hat is kept.

Calvin, it helps your beard to grow if you start to shave. Use your dad’s razor, he’ll appreciate sharing. It’s part of the father – son bonding experience

If you sat fifty years with your worms and your wishes,You’d grow a long beard long before you’d catch fishes.

You may consider your bluff called.

We have a guy in the neighborhood with a long beard. When walking he puts it over his shoulder.

When adults SAY they’re listening but aren’t REALLY listening.

I would hope one day someone builds a device or a technique to stop beard growth. I’d sign up, I don’t like shaving twice a day either.

The jewels? You don’t have the jewels.

I have not shaved since 1973. My beard is longer than my avatar’s.

Americanism has confused me again.

Who or what is ZZ Top?

xxx

An American rock band formed in 1969 in Houston, TX. There are three band members and two of them, Dusty Hill and Billy Gibbons, are well known for having very long beards.

Nice to see ZZ Top is still together – hey! They’re coming to San Diego Oct. 4

Or he could join some biker gang that grows long beards

ZZ Top mainman Billy Gibbons revealed that he and bandmate Dusty Hill once turned down an offer of $1 million to shave off their beards. The singer, who has sported a very lengthy beard since the late ‘70s, told Brave Worlds that he and Hill were approached by Gillette, who offered them the staggering amount of money to shave. Though still a hefty wedge by today’s standards, the offer came in 1984, meaning it would be worth $2,316,140.52 today.

When I was a schoolkid there was some historical movie shown in the all-purpose room one afternoon. One character had mutton chops as was the fashion in the late 1800s. I decided I’d try that when I was an adult. I did but I don’t recommend it.
