Suspicious grooming and other body presentation

Rex Morgan, M.D., 7/1/25

On the topic of bad viewing angles of cartoon heads, the characters in soap opera strips have more or less normally shaped noggins, but Truck's facial hair really is quite absurd, as panel two makes very clear. Carefully tailoring your sideburns so that each has a distinct right angle and the two almost but not quite meet at your chin? I guess the "roots" in "roots country" refers to follicles of hair you grow in ever more ostentatious patterns across your face.

Pluggers, 7/1/25
