Liza, I so enjoy the whimsical drawings…………I can identify your cartoons without a signature, and, personally, I consider that a supreme achievement. I like the characters you’ve drawn and the ‘exchange’. I’m thinking the male is reinventing himself with his ponytail while his significant other is saying, “You two go right on out. I’ll be here doing gown-up people chores when you get back.” I love it, Liza. Peace and grace

Liza, thanks for the laugh. I enjoy your drawings. I think men’s ponytail is like a Chanel bag: a fashion statement.

Different stokes for differnt folks….Like I always say….do anything, just don’t bore me.

Being one of the older, gray/white thin haired guys, here is my take on it. Many of my contemporaries, 60+ men, we lived thru the 60’s when hair was a real statement, and tails were the deal. Now we are looking at the end of the tunnel getting much closer, and I think some of us want to have a final connection to the “days of yore.” I tend to agree that for the most part they are lame and make a blurry comment. I, as a youth had lots of hair and of course a tail while in college. When getting home for the summer, the first words uttered by my father were made famous by George T. “get a hair cut and a real job.” I think if you need one to be who you are or who you were, good on ya’. It really hurts no one. Those days are behind me. And, I think if many of these guys could see the whole image of themselves, the tail would be gone along with the tie dyed shirt and bell bottom pants. Just a thought

Hey Liza, Very funny stuff. I personally hate that look on men. It may show a sense of stubborness on their part. Who knows?

My husband just cut off his ponytail last week … long story. I initially objected to the ponytail look he was sporting a few years ago when we got together (again … long story). I have never objected to men with ponytails per se; it just wasn’t something I was comfortable with at that time in our lives a few years ago. Now I am quite ambivalent about the matter and the decision to cut if off last week was his alone. However, about three weeks ago, my 19 year old son also cut his hair which he wore in a ponytail and I was horrified. This boy has dark, beautiful, shiny hair with the most amazing ringlets ever and I had always encouraged him to grow it long (shoulder length) which he finally did. (He tells me that the girls at school often couldn’t resist just reaching out to touch it.) He didn’t just cut the ponytail; he conspired with another brother to shave his hair right off. I’m still in mourning. Boo hoo. My only consolation is that hair does grow back.
