The Gallery Of Beards

Gallery Of Beards Shave

Last week I revealed the shocking truth that I have a beard in real life and asked you the question; “Should Cartoon Stu have one too?” Well, the results are in, the votes have been counted and you the people have decided that… (pause for dramatic effect)… Cartoon Stu should not have a beard.

Although I will continue to wear my beard in real life for the time being it is clearly time for a virtual shaving of Cartoon Stu. However, as any man (or woman) who has ever been the proud owner of a beard will know, you can’t simply shave it all off in one go. To do so would be a horrible waste of a great opportunity. You have to plan these things. You have to experiment. You have to tryout different patterns. You have to see what you would look like with different kinds of beards. And so without farther ado I give you…

Thank you everyone who voted. There were a lot of good arguments for and against and for those of you who really wanted to see Cartoon Stu with facial fuzz fear not. I promise that he will occasionally be seen sporting a beard (one that does not look like he had an accident with his orange juice).

Stuart

Stuart is an accident prone Englishman who has been living in the Netherlands since 2001. Even his move to the country was an unintentional accident, the result of replying to a cryptic job advertisement he found one day in a local British magazine. Since then he has learned to love the Dutch (so much so that he married one of them) and now calls the country home. He started the blog Invading Holland in 2006 as a place to share his strange stories of language misunderstandings, cultural confusions and his own accident prone nature.

    I like the Stubble, I think still cute that way !!!!!!!!!!! Hihi Maybe I am being biased though b/c there are Tulips in the background, who knows ;)

    P.S. what does “Stubble” mean by the way?

    @Efrutik: stubble=schuurpapier

    These are great! That must’ve been quite a bit of work, with a different background for each one and everything.

    Personally I like the scoundrel and evil twin best, but the others as well.

    Aledys Ver – I like that idea. I could use the gallery as a check list.

    Dragonlady – and a pirate costume :)

    Bart – Laziness to shave is a sign of pure evil.

    Suus – How about a Hobo Elvis?

    Efrutik: Bart beat me to the explanation :p

    Wezz6400 – It took me a bit longer then I planned. That’s why the post was a lot later than normal. And I think that say’s something about you if you like the evil looking ones best :p

    Oh, my goodness, you need to do this as a regular feature. Like Stu’s new hairpiece or Stu’s new pants.

    (And I vote for Jack Sparrow)

    This is totally awesome! I love how you left the Porn Star Stu for laugh (that really was guffaw-worthy).

    The Scoundrel makes me think of those old black-and-white films in which there is a hysterically screaming lady tied down to a set of railroad tracks. All the cartoon needs is a black top hat and black cape. :-P

  7. Invader Stu says:

    Wendi – That would require me to wear pants first :p

    French Bean – As it happens I do leave screaming ladies tied to rail road tracks on a daily bases.

    Excellent non-OJ beards! But what of the “Amish”? Or the “Serj Tankian”? So many variations..

  9. Marianne says:

    I like the thespian and the scoundrel best. And I didn’t think I liked moustaches…

  10. VallyP says:

    Hobo…it’s the hobo…most definitely :) No, not you! It’s the beard……

  11. Invader Stu says:

    Marianne – How about a thespian scoundrel or a scoundrel thespian?

    VallyP – It will take me several weeks to grow it but I’ll try :p

  12. Jake says:

    The hobo is closer to reality (come on, admit it). I thought I drew a bearded Stu on your teabag. That sounded like a really dodgy bit of innuendo, didn’t it?

  13. Invader Stu says:

    It does just a bit :p
