Description
Read MORE "I'm My Own Mascot" here: www.kevinbolk.com/comic/mascotβ¦Fear of acting our age is certainly not unique to my generation but I think we do feel it pretty keenly compared to previous ones, though I think folks who grew up in the 50s came close.Β
Anywho, I'm glad I did it. I don't think I'm gonna keep it like this since I don't have the patience to maintain it. However, it's fun at the moment and it made me feel a lot better about life, so Mission Accomplished!

I kind of like how your cartoony self here looks like an adult version of Nigel Uno. Yeah, I know I said it before. However, I can't help but appreciate your thoughts on this.

Well it certainly is an interesting approach, and while I don't necessarily see you as any different I can respect your commitment to face up against arbitrary standards of beauty and age defined by an increasingly shallow culture obsessed with media driven unrealistic depictions of senseless aspirations by both metaphorically and literally shaving the layers off those standards (ie your hair).
On the flip side, people might not say your character is cuter than you anymore XD. Just kidding, but I do wonder is this a permanent change or a trial period to exercise courage? I also realize this is an extended comment, so for your patience here is a taco (because tacos are awesome) Β

Shaved heads are just less work to maintain. No shampoo. No styling. Just touch them up when needed with the razor.
Also opens you up to a world of hats.
And let's be honest, they're easier to draw.

I just wanted to tell you how much this comic has inspired me.
For now, I'll just comment on this one in particular.
I've been going through a pretty rough time in my life right now, that 20-something age you refer to when you're trying to figure stuff out and you don't really know what the heck you're doing... only I took my ignorance as failure. It really ate me up for a long time, and I was scared to think of myself as an adult, because the moment I admitted that I was one, I felt like someone would whip out the "adult ruler" and see just how much I was doing wrong and not measuring up.
This simple gesture that you've done gives me courage as well. I don't have to be afraid to grow up. :> So thank you.Β

Yeah... advertising and movies make childhood seem fun, but few realize how restrictive it is. Good for you!

That was deep and pretty brave, Kev. I'm glad you were able to face your fear and beat it. Seems you are indeed as wise as Charles Xavier. Continue to level up and slay dragons.

i really love you had the guts to! 
my father-in-law actually shaves his head because he looks YOUNGER when he does so!
he is 62 right now, bt looks more like someone of 50, when he actually was 50, he looked like someone of 62 because of his hairdo LAL

It looks really good, Kevin. I saw the photos. It suits you well. I personally love the shaved head look. I've shaved my head many times. It looks and feels cleaner.
