(Due to switching hosts, Friday’s comic posted late. Go take a peek!)
Revenge is a dish best served cold… it is very cold in 1st grade… Lorraine Strikes Back on Wednesday.
Yes, when I came up with the name “Hairway to Heaven” I immediately Googled the name and indeed found a number of hair salons with that name. I have learned that nothing is new, so when I come up with a “clever” name or something, I Google it to see who’s already used it and if they’ll get pissed at me using it. Since it just hair salons, I call dibs on the name.
Randy Newman actually got in a bit of trouble back in 1977 with today’s comic title “Short People” as most folks assumed it was a slam at those height-challenged adults, when in fact it was about grubby little kids that Mr. Newman was referring too. Having raised three hell-raisers of my own, I can completely associate with the words in the song. But, my youngest sister, being a tad short, hated the song just the same. You’re not short, my dear, you’re the perfect height for me to lean on… and that’s what little brothers do.

Congrats on the host change…on to bigger and better pastures.
And thats the bad thing about Google…it holds me back from being great! As soon as I think of something clever that I SURE no one else has thought of, there’s a web page for it, fan sites and everything else. I guess great minds all think alike.
In the old days… Pre-Google… you never knew someone else was doing something similar unless it was National. Today, all the great ideas get swept up by the Internet. Just do what you want and let the cards fall where they may…

Where was she when I was little and getting my hair cut, I would’ve wanted my hair cut a lot more than I did. To have those brush up against my head during… would’ve been pure heaven!
Amen…it was a place with the barber pole and men that smelled like funny aftershave for me.
Man, you bring back some memories. My wife introduced me to having my hair “done” by a stylist and the stylist had a great set of boobs on her. She’d bend over to wash my hair and plant her left boob in my face. I think she did it on purpose, but I did tip her nicely, so it worked well.

I once saw a hair salon called “Curl up and Dye”, I still laugh when I think of it!
Dave
Damn, that’s a great name! I will have to make it their competition or something now…
😛
We got a salon here in my hometown in Sweden with that name too. Best name ever.
By the way. I’m born in 77 and love old 70’s rock.
Welcome, Bjorn! Being born in 1977 and having been born in Sweden it is no wonder you’re named Bjorn after 25% of ABBA. Regardless, I’m glad you like 70s rock as it’s the best! Enjoy reading the comic, lots more to come!
Oh, So True. i hated haircuts as a child. and i still don’t like them.
Worst beating of my life came after getting my hair cut once as a very young man… So, no, I’m no fan of getting my haircut either.
😛
damn kids. get out of my salon!
Rug rats suck… I have three of them, I should know… 🙂
Randy Newman was never subtle. The fact that “Short People” appears on the album _Little Criminals_ has always amused me to no end.
’70s hairstyles. I think you’ve opened up Pandora’s box here.
Holy crap… when I look back at 70s images and see the hair with these BIG glasses and bell-bottom jeans, I wonder what we were smoking… then I it hits me…
😛
So … 2 or 3 minutes on the job and she’s up for murder charges is how I’m seeing this play out … 😉
Or, maybe she’ll just set the kid’s hair on fire. Accidentally-like.
BTW — I’ve worked food service and other similar such messy jobs. Lorraine will want to learn how to tie off her apron in the back. That bow knot is gonna get filled with hair bits. Rapidly.
Besides, I think it’ll look cute riding on top of her backside …
Good point… I’ll move the bow in future comics! Now I’ll have to draw her from the back just to show it off! The bow that is…
🙂
Careful, kids. You just gave her a perfect weapon to swat you with!
Ah, true point! Fear the return of that grenade you just tossed!
🙂
