It's one thing to go a few days without shaving and get all stubbly, but it's another thing entirely to just have that look permanently. I mean to keep the look you have to trim your stubble to keep it down, and if you do that it looks too "clean" and you just wind up looking stupid. Plus you aren't saving time or effort or anything, which to me is a big part of the whole point. I don't get it. I know a guy that does it and it's terrible.

It's called "designer stubble" and it's actually a relatively common and popular look?

To be fair, while she's acting like a spoiled brat here, Rex Morgan did act like a complete shitlord about the formaldehyde smell. All he had to say was, "Tomorrow I'm going to ask [the old lady who would be a serial killer or art forgery ring leader or something in a more interesting comic] to get it cleaned." instead of taking the car away from her immediately with no timeline of returning. As people have noted, if there was enough formaldehyde in that car to cause acute poisoning effects it would hit you like tear gas. You can smell it at chronic exposure levels, but she's only been driving the car for like a few days at this point.

Additionally, she's a teenager. They aren't known for moderation and level-headedness. And while it's incredibly easy to forget with the storylines she's getting these days, when her character was introduced she was actually a Rebellious Teen Girl character. A tantrum from time to time doesn't push the lines of believability all that much. If anything, today's strip makes more sense than anything else that has happened in this storyline so far.

Also to be fair, most parents would probably be pretty strident about their young kid riding in a car with formaldehyde fumes. Smaller body mass and all that.

But also also to be fair, as the guy whose daughter is the cause of the whole thing, the better thing for Morgan to do would have been to say "Hey, free car so you can cart my daughter around, so I'll pay to get it cleaned."

It doesn't seem real common to me. I mean like I said I've seen people with a few days of stubble, but intentionally leaving it that way all the time I don't see a lot. And I guess things that work on models and movie stars don't always work with everybody.

OK so it's really just the one guy. I'm basing my entire opinion on this subject on one guy I know who is the only person I know or have ever known (that I remember) that does this and it looks dumb as hell on him.

Same. I have that Philco (that's not mine, though) portable radio in my collection, and it's worth far more than 5 bucks. That's a wood, and leather cabinet (yeah, it's a portable), and I think I gave $30 when I bought mine, and I thought that was a steal.

Continuing the tale of Skippy and the little shoes. :cry: (December 19, 1927)



Skippy posted:

Dear Sooky:

That was all very nice in your letter, an' I think something could be done with them toys you're goin' to send up. But about the newspapers I don't know. Maybe you could cut out the comics. Cut out some of the department store pictures of toys too, 'cause they're nice to look at even if ya don't get them. It'll set them all to wishin' anyway.

Send up a pair of shoe laces for the kid's shoes, 'cause I got lookin' them over this mornin', an' the laces are half full o' knots an' any minute they're liable to bust in a couple o' places. I give 'em a rub-off this mornin' with my napkin.

Doctor Moran breezes up to me boat an' sez, "Well, Skippy, how would you like to go around with me to the children's ward?" So in we goes. He says, "I want to have you meet a little girl." The kid's only about 4 1/2 an' pretty too, but she's all wrapped up in the covers. I asked the Doctor what was the matter with her. He says "She's been burnt." So we asked the nurse to get her ready, an' the nurse wheeled her out to a table. Then they got to takin' off bandages on her whole left arm, an' I never saw anythin' like it in all my life. It's all colored up funny like, an' she can't move it. Then she got a big square piece o' skin taken off her side, an' Gee! it looks terrible. Gee! I didn't think I'd have the nerve to look, but I didn't want to run away, 'cause I knew the doctor wouldn't have no use for me if I got scairt. When they took off the bandage from the side that little kid only said, "Doctor, it hurts." An' the Doctor said, "You know what I told you. If you don't cry or anything I'm going to give you a kiss, an' when I give you the kiss I'm going to put something in your bank. Won't that be nice?" An' she said" Yes, I won't cry." He allowed me where he put the skin that he took from her side, an' it's right on her arm, an' now she c'n raise it just a little, an' the Doctor says it'll come around all right, cause she'll be able to raise her arm more an' more. Part of her neck an' cheek is scarred, an' she points to it an' says to the Doctor, "This is all better now Doctor, ain't it?" An' he sez "Yes, darling," an' he kisses her hand. Gee! I just sorta filled up, cause I know that scar will always stay there, an' her so pretty. It'd be different with blokes like us, cause it'd make us look tough, but on girls it's sorta different, ain't it? The Doctor fixes her up an' he says "Where's your bank," an' he puts a quarter in it, so I says "I'll chip in a quarter too, Doctor." Then I happens to remember I don't know where the quarter's comin' from, so I just owe it.

Well, we got to moseyin' around the hospital. There's all sorts o' kids in there. Some's cut up an' some's sick, an' they're all very poor. There ain't even one little teeny weeny toy in the whole ward for those kids, an' if it wasn't for the nurses I don't know what they'd do. Gee! They're lovely. They cut out paper dolls, an' they made something I never saw before in all my life. They get plain soda straws and put empty spools on the end of 'em, an' the kids blow soap bubbles all day long.

Try an' get some toys together to send up to the hospital, an' I was thinkin' too if this skin on the arm don't work out right, us Orioles could all get together and give a little skin. So see how the gang feels about sending up fifteen pieces of skin. I am writin' to Santa Claus to ask him if he'll remember to stoop at the hospital. The Doctor says that's only one hospital, that all over the country there'll be children in hospitals that maybe get nothin' for Christmas. Write soon as ya get this.
