Fantastic! I like that his fringe hung in there for so long.

He’s a fine looking chap, no mistake. But my irrepressible closest cartoon algorithms provide a decidedly Cubert J. Farnsworth connection

That was a strangely hypnotic video. Good on you, Jordan.

It’s like he knew he’d go bald one day.
Which I guess you could know if you see the pattern in your family.

Easier to watch if you scroll the window down so you don’t get distracted by the changing shirts.

Impressive!
Makes me that much sadder that I couldn’t even be arsed to make a time lapse vid of a house being built next door. It went from an overgrown vacant lot to a largeish two-story house in a few weeks, and I wasted a front row seat.

I used to have luxurious, wavy hair that hung down to below the line of my shoulders; but, looking at my dear old Pa, I knew that it wouldn’t last. I am very grateful to the Mitchell Brothers for making, “low maintenance” a main stream look.

I’ve been blessed by my grandpa on my mom’s side genes. No only did he have a full head of hair into his 80s, but it was still at least half black/half grey.
My cousin and his mom both have those genes too.
So mine still has almost no grey at - gasp - I just turned 47 yesterday - and unlike my brother, full hair line. Unlike my cousin and aunt, I don’t have his black hair, but medium brown.

Proof that tee shirts will always be “in”.

You have a good cranium… so baldness does look good on you.

Lol that was my favorite part! 
Ooo, he’s in a red shirt phase! Now back to mostly grey. There’s that hoodie again. Man, he really likes that rust red shirt. Why doesn’t he wear any dark greens?

Maybe he thought it might clash with the red of his hair?

This is my lunchtime at work. I’ll show it to my squeezy gal later and get her own take on your dashing dome. She has a very charming way of thoroughly inspecting everything.

I love how the effect of the timelapse makes his hair jitter, face twitch and shirts shift as if he’s travelling at high speeds through a somehow rough but also gentle wind in stop motion. It really has the effect of watching a being move linearly as if on a 4th dimensional roller coaster. Life does come at you fast…

I love pixelation in animation; like the Wizard of Speed and Time, or Tetsuo: The Iron Man.

There is a contested genetic theory (like they aren’t all) which goes: there isn’t (enough room for) a “male pattern baldness gene” on the Y-chromosome, so genetic male pattern baldness must be on the X-chromosome that you got from your mother. And if that’s the case, then one would be better to examine your maternal uncle’s hair-line about your own doooooooom. Or said in a slightly different way: ya can’t blame dad.
