Pickles by Brian Crane for July 15, 2022

How would any of you, Pickles readers, define “normal hair”?

That is why people get tattoos, so they can be different like everybody else

The kid has hair like Ted’s in “Sally Forth”. How is it too curly?

What is that? That’s not a palindrome, is it?

Earl would be happy to trade hair styles

?? Curly didn’t have any hair. Nyuk nyuk.

Abnormal is normal. Normal is abnormal. And then there’s Earl….

Could be worse, you could have Larry’s (Fine) hair!

Naturally Curly Hair is a Boon with the Girls when He gets older !

Just remember, Nelson…“normal” is only a setting on the dryer!

That isn’t as circular as it sounds.

His hair never looked curly to me (and still doesn’t).

Some of us are just more unique than others.

Nelson… if you want curly hair then shave your head and get a wig. BOOM

One of the great ironies. And trying to make yourself different just makes you more like everyone else.

Another one from almost 20 years ago . Nelson how did your hair thing work out ;-)

Never looked at it from that angle before.

When I was a kid I hated my curly hair. Then I realized many people were getting perms because curly hair was desirable. I got it from my mom who shared many stories of when she was in high school trying different methods to straighten her hair, one of them being ironing it on an ironing board.

Nelson will end up with “Earl Hair” and then rue this day.

Is that Opal or Yogi Berra?

Interesting………… but STUPID..!!!!!!

Dont worry kid, one day you will be bald…

Nelson sure is getting an education every time he visits gramma and grampa….

One mans normal is another mans crazy.

I was ok with my curly hair until I let it grow longer in the Sixties. I tried straighteners but they didn’t work. I wanted long straight hair but it was not to be.

Once upon a time, I had a fine head of hair. / But now my head is pretty much bare. / Some might call it a loss, / Having a dome with a high gloss. / (I know my barber is still in despair.)

I suppose it depends on one’s point of view. / After all, what’s on your head isn’t what’s you. / And I’ve reached an age / Where my vanity’s assuaged / By what I do, and not by my “do.” ;>)

I always had crewcuts until I went to a civilian college. An Italian barber told me I had curly hair and that women like curly hair. He was right! They like to touch it, comb it and wish they had curly hair (the ones with straight hair, anyway) but they didn’t like me that much more. :)

Young people can be very sensitive about anything that makes them different. I dated a Filipina woman who had beautiful, very curly hair. Unfortunately, her Polish step-father once made a humorous remark about her hair when she was a child. The first thing, and I mean the very first thing, she put on every morning was a beret.

“You’re unique, just like everyone else.”

“I’m not…” ☺

Well, that explains it…who knew?

Every one of the males including me, except one from moms family side have lost their hair. The one that hasn’t has the hair all the rest of us have lost. It is so thick he can’t run a comb thru it.

Margaret Mead said that first. “ You are unique just like everyone else.”

I don’t like everyone, like every body else doesn’t. (What the heck does that mean?)

In that last panel, Nelson is now unique. That could work into a new hairdo when he’s older!

My tattoo is in a place nobody will ever think to look.

As Syndrome said in the The Incredibles, “When everyone is super, no one will be.”

When it comes to hair the story on me is, ’Hair today, gone tomorrow!" :-)

Very true Grandma. Except I lost some of my curl in my hair, reason short very short story, after I hurt my left lower femur got a fracture, I cannot lay on either side only on my back, I lost that slight curl up front.

Let’s break out the Steve Martin Non Conformist Oath!

I used to complain about my thick, curly hair. But my hair took offense, then up and left!

Normal is a setting on your dryer — I always use “high” which is why my shirts come out wrinkled…

Nelson must be part of Generation Snowflake

Grandma, he wanted to hear you say, “Remember, Nelson, you’re unique, unlike everyone else.”

He should be glad he has hair…Earl doesn’t have much.
