of Bald Men runnin' Taverns

as they appear in webcomics

You will notice that a lot of webcomics have fantasy themes, and thus have taverns. Who knows why the heroes go to the tavern, but no matter what happens the owner always makes an appearance.

The owner of the tavern is almost always BALD and MALE. Why? I don't know why.

Taverns are an infectious disease and have spread to sci-fi and modern-era comics. So don't think you're safe if the only comic you read is Garfield, because one day that bald man running a tavern is gonna show up there too (if it hasn't already).

On a personal note, I really fucking hate the bald man running a tavern. Vandals, you know your mission.

Submission info: any comic, any genre. Must be bald and a man, and must be running a tavern. Honorary mention goes to bald men running some other kind of meeting place, such as an inn or a sex shop. Send to mahsroh, located at gmail dot com.

Behold, a common type. He has grey hair and is sometimes drawn with lines on his face in an amateurish attempt to appear old. As you can see, his soft, broad nose, weak chin, and round head give him away as the baby-faced friend. His heart is not hard: he is the hero's friend.

Another baby-faced friend. His chin juts outward, to denote a 'gruff' exterior which fools no-one.

Sharing the same facial characteristics as the baby-faced friend is the actually gruff baldy. He's actually gruff, but is it because of a secret past?

This is an odd type which has yet to be categorized. Man with goatee and baby-head. The artist places crude lines on his cheeks to mark him as "over 30". He is tough and won't be pushed around.

Just your average balding rowdy-keep.

Another average rowdy-keep but this one thinks of dollars.

This guy looks so retarded. He runs a general store that is probably also an inn!

3 strips later, a tiny balding man appears behind the counter in a real tavern.

Derno if you can see, but that is totally a bald man being thrown out of that building. A note on the webpage refers to him as the "innkeeper" being thrown out of the "tavern". YES

It's a handlebar half-baldy :3

This is a unique example of a zombie barkeep.

This bartender is butt-ugly and looks to be no pushover.

This is the most normal-looking bald man I have ever seen.

This is not a bald man, but I think he will be, one day. If there's a tavern/sex shop in a webcomic, then it is guaranteed that either a bald man or a future baldy is running it.

This one does not actually run an inn or anything, but he looks just like all the other bald idiots.
