Paging Joan and Melissa Rivers

In today's strip, Al veers into the unfamiliar territory of the celebrity world. The Fug Girls, he's not. He's also a bit redundant--aren't "face unshaved" and "5 o'clock shadow" the same thing? Ditto "hair uncombed and disheveled"? I didn't realize that the scruffy look was the REAL new look. Honestly, some guys just look better with a bit of scruff.

Really, if you're watching the red carpet of some big function (and I assume we're talking Oscars or Emmys here, because below that, it doesn't really matter), and you're getting upset about a guy having some scruff, then either that's the most boring red carpet ever, or you're just not paying attention.

And, to be quite honest, I'm not going to value the fashion opinions of the average TDIET submitter (excepting, of course, those submitters who frequent this site and the Comics Curmudgeon).
