Feel free to add this to the list of comics I didn't have planned but wound up making for one reason or another.

The previous comic was inspired by the logic of considering both Ellen and Grace's situations, and my own personal feud with my own body hair, and no, I'm not talking about poltergeist haunted chest hair (though that should probably be a movie).

I got chest hair before anyone else I knew at school (making me incredibly embarrassed even if some people were jealous of me), I find it physically uncomfortable, making it less uncomfortable is an annoying maintenance, and to top it all off, I had the beginning of a bald spot on the back of my head before graduating high school.

The universe had evidently decided to give me the opposite of what I wanted as far as hair in general was concerned. It's probably not surprising, then, that I might indulge in a fantasy in which such things are easily controlled and/or not an issue in the first place.

That sort of outlook, ah, was NOT what most people who talked to me about the comic focused on. In fact, the comments and questions were of the sort I'd rather not repeat here, and some of them made me question if people consider the appropriateness of their comments prior to sharing them with a relative stranger.

Some people, however, addressed matters of genuine interest to me, such as the various health concerns regarding body hair, and how Grace and Ellen should have some for those reasons alone. This led me to believe I should clarify some things while using the opportunity to make other things more ambiguous.

It also resulted in Grace being shocked by her own arm hair, which is awesome. Thank you to those who flung knowledge at me, particularly since I was probably being a bit of a grump at the time.
