Dave is a great guy, an old roommate, and one of my best friends. Everybody loves him.
And because he's so lovable he can get away with whatever the hell that thing is on his chin.
Is it a beard? A goat-tail? A chin-braid? A mid-life crisis? I don't know. It's exotic I guess. A symbol of rebellion against the norm. Whatever it is - it's gone now and Dave has rejoined the ranks of the merely bearded. And everybody still loves him.
The drawing is blah. Not crazy about it. Might draw him again some day, he deserves better.
