I normally comb my hair back. Sometimes, hair fairies come and comb my hair while I'm sleeping, and it'll be perfectly-combed FORWARD when I wake up. Since it's already neat, and usually won't comb back very well afterward, I just keep it that way. Inevitably, somebody points out that I got a haircut, and this strip plays out.
It makes me wonder, though. Every time somebody gets a haircut, everybody HAS to compliment the haircut. It's never a so-so, it's never just an acknowledgment, it's ALWAYS a compliment. What I wonder is, do people just want everybody to be bald? If haircuts require compliments, surely we should just go all the way. "Nice haircut" is fine, but I want total admiration.

(If I had an Italian version, its title would be "Tieni i peli", because the comic makes me think of that song.)
