This is #281, first published 14 Apr 2020
The second autobiographical cartoon in a row. I'm a little baffled by the trend for dyeing *in* grey. If it really is a sign of wisdom and experience, maybe it's not surprising that fashionable people are buying it in a bottle. As going grey naturally coincides with the end of fertility, it seems to be a "don't bother" signal to men as well as an indicator of age.
What's more fun than a cuddle with a woolly critter?

If you like Yvonne then the good news is that you can support the author, buy the image to keep and avail yourself of some really useful kit, such as mugs, bags, coasters, mouse mats, postcards, greetings cards, even posters and prints.
