Well, the hair salon today finally confirmed what I've been dreading for years: my hairline is starting to recede. I was hoping this wouldn't happen until I was at least 30, but it looks like no more long hair fo rme. At least this will give me an incentive to start growing my beard out more.

You are lucky we live in a era where thin hair, hell even bald is in vogue. Don't shruk away from it, embrace it!

Tnis may be heretical, but I'm not a big fan of Eisner's post-Spirit material. He was patently a master of the comic form, but I think his sweet spot can be found in those B&W Kitchen Sink Spirit reprints - that's the best format & best material to showcase his talent. Were they originally in colour? They do look good in black and white - unlike, IMO, most comics intended to be printed in colour - but I think I'd prefer to read them in a format as close to the original as possible. I plan to get more into the Spirit soon, along with some other stuff from the mid to late 1940s. A few months ago I attended a fantastic Eisner Centennial exhibition in NYC. What a thrill it was to actually see some of those Spirit inserts! (They were safely ensconsed in glass display cases.) The above image is from this site

Those whiney people overseas with their civil wars and human rights violations. Truly they don't what real strife is!

A funny linguistic tidbit:
Obelix's catchphrase "Those Romans are crazy" is translated in Italian by "Sono Pazzi Questi Romani"... with the initials SPQR!!!
That's the kind of humour that made the early Asterix adventures so good!

I know a lot of you have other contact points with Dan when he doesn't post here a lot. But does anyone know if everything is ok with DE? I haven't seen him post in a month or two.

My wife may complain but receding/loss of hair is just the excuse I need to go bald. Though in retrospect of the climate of our country is in right now; probably not a good idea.

Don't sweat it about the current climate in the country; no one gives a crap about that, because guys have been shaving their heads for years without having any ties to the Nazi/skinhead community. Personally, I started losing my hair at 16, shaved my head for good at 22, and have now been doing that for more than half my life.

I did it once before I got married just for the heck of it. But my job wasn't to happy with it. But I didn't get fired or anything. So meh. I am thankful my wife's on board with it though. I ain't pulling no Patrick Stewart. It won't even get close to that bad before I start shaving it off.

I can't speak for Dan, but I'm here, no worries. I just can't access the site from work since I changed jobs last year so I don't have time at home to post much. I still keep up on the mod side, here in Meanwhile, and the occasional other thread. Thanks for your concern.

My daughter's boyfriend is bald (not by choice) and he's a great guy.
