Pickles by Brian Crane for December 29, 2023

Earl please don’t.

I doubt that Opal would tolerate that. She’d be walking around the house with scissors in her hand.

How about a Mohawk, Earl?

Earl could sport a man bun. Start with a dinner roll.

He’s too bald for a Mohawk, man bun or pony tail.

I used to have a pony tail. But it gradually grew farther and farther down the back of my head until it was growing from the base of my skull. That was when I thought, “This is really pathetic.” Shaved my head and never looked back.

Let’s check out Silvia’s hair tomorrow to see if she follows through.

Shave your head like all my bald friends do!

Then he can roll it into a man bun

I actually wore a ponytail in my young adult years. Liked it: Sensual, I though it looked okay even if maybe not handsome… but eventually the real world in the form of “working on my own transmission, under the pickup in the driveway” made me decide to cut it off… along with the big wad of grease. Then during Covid, I thought I’d go ahead and regrow it. Nothin’ doing. Old follicles apparently just don’t have the get up and grow that the young ones had.

Better than a man bun. Anything is better than a man bun. Just creeps me out.

True Earl. I see a lot of old guys wearing ponytails even they have no hair up top.

He could always get one of those ball caps with a fake ponytail sticking out the back. Just don’t wear it backwards like so many guys do.

I guess that horse has left the stable.

I’m nurturing my comb-over.

A ponytail? … Neigh!

Earl would have better luck styling his moustache. Let it grow a few more weeks, add some product, and curl the ends into a handlebar.

Pfffft! With your mustache, Earl!

Earl feels like letting his freak flag fly.

Earl showing that denial isn’t just a river in Egypt…

Would make for an interesting arc lasting WELL into 2024!!

“Awesome” … or “Awful”? He might look like a Ferengi.

I bet you could, Earl; however, Opal would probably object.

Oh, no please, not the topless male ponytail!

A Skullette, with a Man Bun?

Puny tail at best.

Grow what you can long. Then go with a pony-tail or a ‘man-bun’!

Uhhhhhhhhh……. NO

A few years back I decided to follow through on a desire to be the older balding guy with a pony tail. KInda regret it now and got it cut on Christmas.

He could let it all grow out and have a clown head.

My 59 year old mostly bald son wears his like that…no hair on top, but teensy ponytail in the back.

Earl, at your age that wouldn’t be a pony tail, that would be a Jack@$$’s tail.

I once worked with a guy who had exactly that hair “style” — bald on top, ponytail down to the middle of his back.

from ponytail to cover up the top if it’s cold, huh?

When ever I see a band playing on t.v., those men who have long hair and ‘head banging’ with it, I always say it must be a requisite to be in said band!

Hi ho silver! The Lone Ranger rides again!

Thank goodness Earl is not considering wearing a toupee.

Pop, how about a Van Dλke to hide your weak chin?

There is definitely some truth there. I get fairly bushy in back. The top? Not so much.

Could he go for the Dilbert’s boss’ hairdo (enough hair?).

I bet he would rock that ponytail baseball cap look.

I used to grow my hair longer than I wanted, which was already quite long, so I could donate my hair to be made into wigs for children who have undergone chemo. Some men who wear silly looking ponytails do that, too. I probably provided enough hair for a dozen kids over the years. Natural red hair – if they were redheads, they were probably happy to get it. I used to generally donate a foot, but six inches is enough for the boys or a short girl’s hair. Not all people with long hair are making a fashion statement.

Earl with a pony tail would be hilarious!

My hair is like Earl’s. During the pandemic, I let it grow. Some were surprised to see I had curly hair.

You mean you’re thinking about getting a new toupee?

Then he would look like a horse’s rear end

I’ve said the same thing!!!!!

My wife has a divorce lawyer on retainer, just in case I grow a pony tail.

During the crazy years of the fauci-flu, when it was forbidden to get haircuts, my friend’s husband, a Col, USAF Ret, grew his hair long enough to donate to “Locks of Love”. It was very strange to see him with a ponytail.

You can do it Earl…Get a weave

Awesome? Really?
