    I know exactly what Sidney means! Ever since I grew out my beard, my whole world's changed!


    I mean, personally, I'm still a bit timid, honestly....


    ... And I'm still mistaken for a girl even from the front, somehow....


    ... But other than that, everything's changed!

    As someone who also has an unreasonably high opinion of his slightly rubbish beard I support Sidney fully and find nothing incongruous about his logic whatsoever.

      As someone with a preposterously high opinion of his highly rubbish sideburns, I concur.

        I'm really here for the both of you on behalf of my rubbish smatterings of facial hair About. Half a hint of a mustache. It's very unfortunate, and yet, I'm half proud of it.

    It's not that the beard makes the change; it's the decision to grow the beard that makes the change.

      Tamar says it best :{D>


      Also, Lei's facial expressions and posture in the last two panels are fantastic.

    I had my beard for months before it started showing up on my self-image in dreams.


    Of course, that was more than forty years ago...

    ===============

    I'd still say Lei knows more than she's telling Sid.

    I don't know much about the power of beards, but I am a firm believer in the power of hats and awesome coats!

    Haha! Ah! This is my favorite page ever. 'Beards will make you bolder.' Love it.

    The only way to get the man-beard is to wear the rubbish a while.

    Sidney is absolutely correct. Beards will do that. The power of beards should never be underestimated.


    Besides, for some of us it's practically the only hair of any consequence that grows above our shoulders after a while. :D

    Beards ensue bravery Lei. Obviously. What country are you from?

    Sidney is absolutely adorable! I only realized in the past few months just how attractive beards can be. Stay cool Sidney, stay cool.

    He is gradually progressing towards Full Riker... one step at a time.

    Panel 4 shows that Lei has an idea what's going to happen & hoping Sid doesn't go.... Sheesh. I only now noticed his tiny beard when he mentioned it.

    Bah, beards. I go from clean shaven to bristly mexican bandit goatee in 10 hours, but it never grows much more than that. So I gleefully take a sour grapes attitude of thinking all beards slightly rubbish. 😁
