That was me, the first time I experimented with pomade.

This was also called ‘The Puppies of Terra’ – presumably not about an attempt to rig the Hugo Awards – and looked like this as well http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/d/thomas-m-disch/puppies-of-terra.htm
I’m pretty sure the model was Douglas Wilmer, the first Sherlock Holmes actor I remember.

@Tat Wood – And it is also apparently an expansion of the Disch novelette White Fang Goes Dingo

I’m thinking the model is more Vincent Price goes Flock of Seagulls.

Was he the only man to challenge the Stairmasters?

@Tat, BM: Those who forget their history are condemned to have it reposted. 😉

@DSWBT: So this is a Planet of the Apes type of thing, except with dogs?

I’m so glad it tells us this is the “complete novel.” Hate to read an abridged version of this one. I assume by “complete” it means that all the asymmetrical hair recipes are included in the famous “lost” appendix.

The title is “MANKIND Under the Leash”, which I take to mean that this man is supposed to be human. So, ladies and gentlemen, I must pose the age-old question: WHY IS HE BLUE?
August 25th, 2015 at 12:29 am
I think he’s blue because of his hair. You’d all be down too, admit it.

The star masters are nearly as vain as their fashion offenders; maybe if they hadn’t used gold chain this maniac wouldn’t have escaped.

Not only his hair, but also his mustache is asymmetrical. That, and the jaunty hip cocked to the side, lead me to think that, blue or not, he doesn’t exactly mind being under the leash.

His hair mirrored the city……or did the city mirror his hair?!?!?

A very early Wolverine outfit. Originally he was holding a handbag.

I’ve watched enough WWE – that ain’t Mankind.

@LB: looking at the chain, could that be Dude Love?
