    Have you taken any lessons since you started?
    I noticed that your artwork has improved a LOT since you began.

    Thanks for noticing! I have taken a bit of life drawing, but I think that most of it is just practice, and taking things more seriously.

    If he wants a moustache, why is he shaving?

    Shaving promotes hair growth. Not really sure why this is, but say for example you wanted to grow a beard. Instead of doing nothing and letting it grow, you shave every week. This gets you larger, bushier hair growth.

    I thought all high school males knew this.

    Also, this strip is excellent. Maybe that’s just the sci-fi fan in me. But damnit this is good!

    My thoughts on why the hair grows back thicker:

    When hair grows, it is slightly thicker at the base of the hair than at the tip. As the hair grows, what was once the base of the hair becomes the tip of the hair, and so once the hair has grown back, the base of the hair is now thicker. When you shave and shave, the process repeats itself — until the pore is “stretched” to it’s max, giving you thicker hair. I believe this is why girls prefer (no, not masochism) to wax than shave — the hair is pulled completely out, not just cut down.

    Anyways, just my two cents.

    Actually, that’s an urban legend. Jester has it half right, though. Because the hair is sheared off very bluntly, it feels thicker than a natural hair with a tapered end. And stubble feels coarser than longer hairs which have more flexibility. Also, the time when most young men and women start shaving is during puberty, when the hair is becoming thicker, darker, and coarser. So if the hair really is growing back in thicker, that’s just due to puberty, not shaving. It would have happened at the same rate, shaving or no.

    Anyway, back on topic. That strip really is gorgeous. And the story you only get a glimpse of is heartbreaking!

    I meant for the shaving scene to be a cargo-cult thing. The kid doesn’t really understand facial hair, but he knows that it’s associated with the act of shaving.

    I totally got the cargo-cult effect. Nice touch!

    Another sad robot. I think I’ll put my two cents in and agree with whoever said it back in the archives, “Sad Robot” deservs a tag.

    I never knew that was a myth. I figured it was like your fingernails, which regrow faster in response to stress.

    I’d wonder what would happen if he talked to the other kids about getting his battery changed…

    Hair growth is stimulated by shaving. However, the effect wears off very quickly. For this reason the hair grows quickly immediately after shaving. This and the puberty argument above are what provide the basis for this myth.

    This is strange. I just realized that the father looks just like Will Wright of Sims fame.

    I love how the kid is wearing a Nirvana t-shirt. Nice touch.

    Some of these are really funny and some are just damn depressing.

    Nevertheless, I love them all.
