#kempo master

Panel One:

Speedwagon is grinning. Contrasting with the sparkles beside his hair, it is frazzled at the top and has a small twig sticking out of it. A caption conveys that he “Was probably decked earlier today”.

SPW: Thanks for asking! It’s never been described that way before, for some reason.

Kempo Master and Tattoo stand off to the side and in the background, commenting. Kempo has an exasperated expression, while Tattoo looks amused.

Kempo: (Oh no they’re encouraging the boss.)

Tattoo: (We’re in for it now.)

Panel Two:

Close-up. SPW seems to be yelling, as is his custom.

SPW: Step one! I cut it myself. Don’t trust barbers, they’re often gossips. (What if they give away my ‘aircare secrets?)

Panel Two:

SPW stands at a counter with a comb and bottle on it. He is putting up his hair while holding a blue ribbon in his mouth. He has a stylized, bleary expression.

SPW: Step two: Comb, massage with tonic and sweet almond oil, and loosely braid before bed. (When I remember).

Panel Three:

Similar to the previous image, except now he is brushing out one side of his hair, which forms a massive clump of tangles caught in the comb. The other side is poofing out. His eyes are narrow with only the whites showing in a stylized show of restrained rage.
