I can provide enough hair for people with cold heads everywhere
but I must remain ever vigilant, a razor in each hand at all times
sometimes I lie awake at night, wondering if these powers are a blessing… or a curse

To be continued?
He Seems generally saddened… Like Santa…
He’s got himself into quite the *glasses* Hairy situation.
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Deep..
ending was gold
why does Fletcher’s beard grow without any hair growth anywhere less? ;_;
reminds me of http://buttersafe.com/2008/03/06/the-massive-beard/
@ Inspectra: Fletcher actually grows a lot of hair. In an older comic, Copernicus barges into the bathroom to find an extremely hairy and half shaven Fletcher.
another masterpiece. this one made me laugh a lot.
Nice playoff beard, Fletcher
love the final panel, but to be honest i hate the way you draw beards
the lines you use are just nothing like the normal lines? or maybe the beard should be… fluffier
kinda looks rushed and stuff
Actually, half of those are his pubes.
I always have to scold my beard for entering other people’s lungs. They should make a shock collar or something.
You make my Monday’s bearable and my Friday’s much more enjoyable.
I reread “030 – viking ancestry strikes again” and i noticed that your fletcher hair drawings have changed from a wookie-like appearance to endless waves of brown flame. That makes sense, right?
I fear that your comics have made me fall in love with you.
This is definitely one of my favorites!
and then they both went out for milkshakes and bought a razor.
what struck me the most about this comic was that copernicus’ shoes are the same colour as his skin.
MAYBE HE DOESN’T WEAR SHOES?
*shock horror scandal*
That beard is so manly. Totally worth destroying your life for it. Nothing manlier than a killer beard.
I wish I was the great everbeard…
TEEEEETSUUUUUUOOOOOOOOOO
This reminds me a bit of the anime movie Akira.
This is the greatest six panels I have ever read. If I taught a class in narrative composition, this would be used as an example of how to do it. You’ve got everything a compelling narrative needs in six little squares. Bravo, good sir. Bravo.
Seriously, I can’t stop reading this. It’s so perfect:
Panel 1. A seemingly ordinary protagonist on a seemingly ordinary day. The reader can identify with the protagonist’s decision not to shave, thus creating an emotional connection between the two. (Introduction)
Panel 2. Hmm, something seems not-quite-ordinary about this situation. Strangeness is afoot. The reader is compelled to read on, and see how the story develops. (Exposition)
Panel 3. Oh no! Conflict has arisen! How will the protagonist cope with the rising dramatic tension and exciting new challenges! (Rising Action)
Panel 4. The protagonist discovers that it is his own flaws which are to blame for his increasingly challenging circumstances. He has grown as a person, and earned the reader’s respect, but still has a conflict to resolve. (Climax)
Panel 5. A tragic twist! The situation proves to be more than the protagonist can handle, and he suffers a tragic loss. (Falling Action)
Panel 6. Catastrophe. This tale being a tragedy, the protagonist is powerless to make right what went wrong, and must painfully accept things as they are. The audience empathizes - the world is sometimes a cruel place, and not all tales end happily. (Denouement)
Everbeard’s back up comic!
