This is a reoccurring theme with them too. It seems to come up every so often. There are probably at least as many as 5 other strips about this same topic.
The reason I return - the realreason I return, three times a week, every week, for twenty+ years now, is Jerry's wordsmithing. I have enjoyed Gabe's art and its evolution, sure - even when it departed from what I liked I could appreciate it. But his sardonic wit and turns of phrases and honesty and artistry in text? That's what I come here for. Guy sells himself short.

To be fair to Tycho, it was primarily the words that made me laugh at this one. I feel like a text only version also would have made me laugh.
A wordless version of this strip can be funny too, if you have a very active imagination.
The barber can't seem to cut the hair. He realizes it's not hair. Gabe explains what it truly is, disgusting the barber.
Man, there was one twitch stream of Mike drawing the comic with Jerry there, with panels of Gabe yelling and Tycho looking concerned, before the text was added. A third person was there and they mentioned that 'without text, it looks like an abusive relationship.' Then Mike and Jerry just started grunting, growling, and whining like beasts to match up with the expressions in the comic, and it was so god-damned funny.
Am I just imagining thing, or did it used to be a greater variation in looks among the people working as men's hairdressers?
Now they just all look like that guy. It's like in the last patch the Mr.Smiths stopped wearing a suit and sunglasses and they've all become hipster-beard-guy working in a barbershop when they're not maintaining the integrity of the Matrix.

My progression through barbers has been thus:
Childhood - teens: An old man who had seemingly been barbering since scissors were invented
Twenties - thirties: Fantastic Sam's, usually a rotating roster of middle-aged women
Mid-thirties: Various barber shops staffed by bearded guys with short sides and a long top, as noted above
Late thirties: Heavily tattooed women
Now: self with a clipper
