My readers hated Michael's beard. As soon as he came home sporting facial fuzz, the letters came. I had to let Mike go through this rite of passage, so I left him with the beard for a few months...until the complaints became something I really had to deal with. Removing Mike’s beard was the only thing I ever did to placate angry readers!

Perhaps what is manifesting is the “essence of man” as defined by Kelly le Brock in this 1992 Brut commercial. You decide.

There are two landmarks in a growing man's facial hair path to adulthood. The wispy "I swear I can grow one" moustache (that's on my HS yearbook photo) and the "I want to look like I'm old enough for beer" beard that Mike's got. Often those disappear for a decade or so when a "clean look" serves to fool the employer, later replaced by the Tom Selleck-esque Dadstashe.

Maybe it's because Calvin and Hobbes got brought up recently, but the little mouse kid being lonely and having an active imagination makes it seem like Holbrook attempting a real bad copy.

Thankfully, Calvin never had to deal with being 1 out of 12,000 mice orphans in Hellworld.

The fact that we barely get a look into Hardy's married life has me confused on whether it really is an abuse situation or if it's Prudence taking gossip from neighbors about how they hear the couple arguing and spinning it into something way worse. Though if you look at Hardy's insane plot to chase off his wife's ex-fiancee and hang around her workplace until her coworkers talk about Hardy making serious bank convinced her to marry him, it's really hard to give the guy the benefit of the doubt.

If Fastrack's any indication, Lex Luthor would be an extremely toxic boss to work for but Superman would sigh and say that you can't help but admire the guy anyway.
