Tova:
Oh?

I’d really prefer you cast aspersions directly rather than obliquely.

Penquin47:
Can anyone think of a case where a character was introduced with short hair and let it grow out?   The only one I can think of is Dora, and that ended up being rather temporary.  (I know it's harder to do because of the time, but still, it's been a few years in-comic.)

That's what annoys me so much, really.  It's unidirectional.

And people call it trolling because Jeph appears to be aware that readers have this same discussion every time he cuts off a character's hair.  In this case, he even lampshaded that in the strip title and author's note.  That lampshading is what makes it feel like trolling to me.

Farideh:
Momo's hair ended up a lot longer than what she started with. Same with May when she switched bodies.

Tova:
I feel like those examples still fit the trope of introducing a new character (or chassis in this case) with long hair then later having it chopped in a zany accident.

Tai is probably a rare example of short hair by choice.

cesium133:
New comic up.

What are the odds that the next time Clinton runs into Marigold, she recognizes his voice as LilBeef? (Then again, it looks like it's been a long time since they've run into each other, but QC Northampton seems to be a fairly small place...)
