Mullets (comic strip)

Mullets is a syndicated comic strip created by Tedd and Chip Switzer. The strip revolves around the everyday lives of Earl and Junior, two brothers who sport the iconic "mullet" hairstyle.

The humor in Mullets is largely derived from the juxtaposition of the brothers' anachronistic hairstyle with modern situations and trends. The characters are often depicted engaging in activities that highlight their perceived lack of sophistication or awareness. Earl is generally portrayed as slightly smarter and more pragmatic than Junior, who tends to be more naive and easily led.

Recurring themes in Mullets include: brotherly rivalry and affection, interactions with other members of their rural community, humorous misunderstandings, and the brothers' unwavering devotion to their mullets. The strip often employs puns and wordplay to enhance the comedic effect.

Mullets has been syndicated in newspapers across the United States and internationally. While not a mainstream phenomenon, it maintains a dedicated following drawn to its simple humor and relatable characters. The comic strip's longevity can be attributed to its consistent comedic formula and the enduring cultural relevance of the mullet hairstyle as a symbol of a particular lifestyle.
