Here is.

Oh come on now.  Being meta about hair cuts?  I know that The Dan is trolling us now.

[Pharaoh RutinTutin 1,586]

Give me a head with hair, magically controllable hair
Shining, gleaming, steaming, flaxen, waxen
Give me down to there hair, stays still a while longer
Here, baby, there, momma, everywhere, daddy, daddy
Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it, as long as I don't need to cut or comb it, my hair

... starting to seem that way ... like, ok, it IS an interesting point, but spending whole update on it seems more like trolling.

Glad to know I wasn't the only one that felt that way.

... oh, and BTW: If Susan owns just one barbershop, it's because there is just one in whole kingdom ; which, while absurd in reality, could easily happen in game world.

I'm ready to excuse it for Susan in first panel, though

Logically speaking, she should change clothes soon (hopefully not spending too much time on it) but I wouldn't complain if she postpones it.

Yeah, that's nice, but I'm not sure that it's enough to cover the issues with pacing that this story line has and this update is a prime example of a time waster.  I fear that Tuesday's update will Susan actually going to the barber.

Perhaps the Barber of Seville?

I love Opera and Cartoons

Shows how my brain thinks.  I was expecting a Bugs Bunny cartoon.

The animated clips I could find were incredibly choppy

So I picked one with a Baritone who reminds me of Tensaided, sans beard

Ok then.  

Glad to know I wasn't totally off base on the Bugs Bunny thing then.

Baritone? Isn't that role usually played by a Tenor?

Baritone, Tenor, what should someone imagine under it? Can't people use some clear units, like Hertz? Or, say, A♭₂ - C₅ , if 103.83Hz-523.25Hz is too long for them?

Rossini wrote the role of Figaro in The Barber of Seville for a Baritone

The Largo Al Factotum aria is is written in C major with a voice range that covers D₃ to G₄ (optional A₄₎, with a very high tessitura

A few Tenors have performed this

Now I know how people feel when I geek out on either programming or TTRPG design stuff.

[Pharaoh RutinTutin 1,586]

And that was lowest level musical geekdom

And I am slightly tone deaf, so any level of musical geekdom is beyond me.

[Pharaoh RutinTutin 1,586]

Being tone deaf is a disadvantage many people who claim to be musicians choose to ignore

I also have bad rhythm and poor hand eye coordination.   Musician is a career that I could not even start to take. I can barely be a music fan.

Nyeh, What's opera, Doc? The one you are thinking of is Rabbit of Seville.

Yes, better. I mean, I still don't understand it of course, but at least I can recognize the geekdom.

Well, you shouldn't, however I'm sure there are musicians with same problems but more confidence who got to lot of money despite them.

Meh. I'm a programmer and I wrote a lot of programs that did music.  Close enough.
