That is simply not true! How does that start of your hair know what the end of your hair is doing? It doesn't, so what ever you do to the end cannot affect the start! Geesh!

Should've built induction chargers into the chairs, no more "sad battery days" then

Very interesting comic strip. I love the way you animated the kid robot's feelings through the envy he felt in the first panel. Keep it coming!

I have to say, this is my favorite online comic. This may be my favorite strip. You just do a fantastic job of making a small scene tell a larger story. I love your jokes.

Great strip! The fingers are the best part.

A brilliant, touching, and deep comic. In four frames you have conveyed more genius, emotion, and subtlety than many major films accomplish.

At first I didn't notice the pictures in the last panel. What really gets me is the implications of the past tense.

Very well done.

The way the story is told in the past tense is quite a touch. Very subtle. And builds up the sad tone.

One of the best strips, indeed.

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

Nevertheless, I love them all.

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

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

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.

Sweet stache, man.

Thanks, bro.

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

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

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 totally got the cargo-cult effect. Nice touch!

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.

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!

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.
