Beauty is in the eyes of Scaduto
Is the problem in today's strip that Barfo is at the barber shop for a toupee? An ugly one? Is that the issue?
"Is he Michelangelo being retouched?" That makes no sense! Either Scaduto doesn't realize that Michelangelo was an artist, not a piece of art, or he should've used a word other than "retouched"--maybe "criticized" or something.
And let me just say that it's really obnoxious those spectators are. They suck just as much for Barfo for being jerks.
Can someone explain the "fine-tip the comb" comment for me? So...Flavio can stab Barfo with it?
I do love that the barber's name is Flavio.

It says "fine comb the tip" which means Flavio should carefully count the tip? Or maybe Barfo should leave Flavio a lousy tip. Actually, it means Flavio should stab Barfo in the throat with his sissors. Then go after the witnesses with a straight razor.
I think the "retouch" thing is borderline ok as metonymy... like so...
Michelangelo: Can you believe that Pope Julius II! Do you know what he did now?!
Tommaso: Whazzat-t...?
Michelangelo: He sent some hack to put a fig leaf on Adam! And I said, you're gonna retouch ME?! I'm freaking Michelangleo!
Tommaso: They'll do it every time... Oh yeah!
Come to think of it, maybe I should submit that. I'd love to see the Sistine Chapel with Scaduto-people.
This should be Exhibit A in the Scaduto insanity proceeding. We've left mere crap far behind and are now in the land of Ga-ga-ville. Scaduto est kaputo. (Et stinko.)
Lady, you have way too much time on your hands if this is what occupies your time.
