Here at my mother’s house, we’re reminiscing about old times, and out come the photo albums. You have permission to mock 1990s me.
This was not a one-off. Mary’s looking good in 1995, I’m just a big dork.
In contrast, this is a photo from 1943, of my grandparents holding my mother. Formal photos look so much better. Classy!

The 90’s were an awkward time for all of us.

Nice legs.

1 Happy to hear your mum’s okay.
2 Mary indeed looks cantik in ’95.
3 The one wandering eye (so very present in your line) was already present in your gramps!

1990s PZ looks a lot like 1990s me (I gained a lot of adipose tissue later).

Your grandmother was beautiful! But by the expression on his face, it looks like granddad has had it up to “here” with the photographer. If I, as a young lad, had been transfixed by that baleful glance, I’d have straightened up and flown right!
And yeah, you’re a dork. But you’re OUR dork!

Growing the short beard was a good idea.

Haha, you should have seen me in the seventies!

I think you’re too self-critical. The mustache was cool, especially in the top photo with the accompanying soul patch. I had a mullet in the late 80s and flat-top in early 90s…a real horror story.
fergl says
How could Mary resist….A certain charm in the eyes must have done it. Result!

Not actually the worst 70s porn-stache I’ve seen in the 90s.

You look great. I just found your blog again after years away. Don’t know how I lost it, but I was reminded of Ed Brayton and it made me wonder about you. I used to read you two ‘religiously’.
So glad you’re still blogging! Off to catch up.

that moustache is giving diedrich bader in office space.

Your wife is a dead ringer for the lovely Cassandra out of only fools and horses.

You think that’s bad & embarrassing? You should see some of mine .. wait no, you shouldn’t..
brightmoon says
@9 You’re complaining, I had shoulder length dreadlocks in the 90s. Which I eventually got tired of and tried to comb out. Painful! It’s like untangling felt.
I kinda like Pz’s porn stache

The 1990s you remind me of Chick Corea. Do you play the piano?
