Haircut.

November 1999. Tad's hair was driving me nuts. It's easy to draw, but looks ridiculous. So I cut it all off, and then realized that he didn't look like Tad anymore. Spoiler alert: it grows back.

The second strip: after the heaviness of the breakup and the military story, I wanted to do something fun. So Tad got a credit card. You can figure out where this is going.
