Pickles by Brian Crane for September 01, 2019

I try to grow facial hair, but I get stubble which the parents chastise me to shave.

Mustaches are gross. Get in the way when you’re trying to eat.

“Like yours, Gramma….”

interesting drawing of Nelson with the mustache!

Nelson I do that every morning but the hair will not regrow on top of my head ;-)

Oh Earl! Telling Nelson that and not explaining is cruel….but funny!

Nelson’s mustache obsession continues.

When I was little my dad could get me to eat almost anything by telling me it would put hair on my chest. When you’re four or five that sounds pretty good. Now I’m just grateful it didn’t work.

I started mine in the army.

I don’t like facial hair at all. I find it to be itchy and highly annoying!

Typical Young Boy.

My hair was a medium brown (when I had hair, that is). I tried on at least three occasions over my life to grow a mustache. It was very odd. The left side would grow in with my natural hair color, but the right side would grow in blonde. From a distance of more than two feet, it looked like I had only half a mustache. So I gave it up.

Now, the only really growing hair I have are in my nose and my eyebrows. (sigh!)

I did “Movember” twice, but my son said I looked like a homeless man.

I prefer to be shaved clean. Have plenty on the top of my head.

My wife loves facial hair. I like wearing at least a mustache, or, lately a goatee. Many winters I grow out a full beard. Once I shaved it off, she literally went into the hospital. Well, for something else, but we joke about it.

I love this strip. I can remember having these exact discussions with my grandfather and wanting a moustache when I was that age

Harder Nelson, harder. You can do it!!!
