In my youth (a long, long time ago), I tried to grow a mustache a couple of times. It never went well. Half grew out in my normal hair color, but the other half grew out about two shades lighter (and no, I don’t know how or why that happened). In any event, from a distance of a yard or more, it looked like I had half a mustache. And it itched, so I shaved it off. In protest, my normal hair started to thin, and now – well, let’s just say my biggest hair-care expense is the occasional can of Turtle Wax.
It’s not that much of an insult. Earl and Opal have been married long enough. They say that you start to look alike after some time, also, people are unconsciously attracted to like partners- people with similar appearances.

Maybe Earl without his mustache looks like Woody Allen?

If he shaved his chest, he might, very well, look like gramma.

Somebody here already said that, Nelson.

Now that is gone hurt but come to think of it he just might be right.

I don’t think Gramma’s going to appreciate Nelson saying a bald man looks like her!

Earl and Opal are actually drawn the same but with the hair and mustache the only deference…

Well they always say when folks are married for a long time, they do start to look alike!

When people live together for many decades I guess they seem to resemble each other. Experience taught me this with my parents.

If Opal’s like many post-menopausal women, she’s likely keeping her own moustache at bay.
