Anyone care to explain this one?

If I had to guess, it's because women go to hair stylists and men go to barbers. This barber is like, "yo, I can cut all hair! I'm a stylist too!"

I feel there is a subtler joke with "stile" too but I'm not quite sure what, as I'm not super familiar with the word beyond "turnstile". Possibly a joke on the one style of haircut he can do, whose shape evoke a turnstile? (So, what he's himself wearing).

In any case I like that one.

My take on it: he wants to advertise his styling abilities, but the typo suggests he's never even read or spelled the word before, so his offerings are probably not great.

Hello fellow Far Side fans!

About this community and how I post the comic strip… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips and one of those was The Far Side. These days of course you find just about anything online including www.thefarside.com where they post several comics a day and I repost them here. Just to note, the date you see in my posts is not the initial release date, but the date they were posted on the website.

The Far Side is a single-panel comic created by Gary Larson and syndicated by Chronicle Features and then Universal Press Syndicate, which ran from December 31, 1979, to January 1, 1995 (when Larson retired as a cartoonist). Its surrealistic humor is often based on uncomfortable social situations, improbable events, an anthropomorphic view of the world, logical fallacies, impending bizarre disasters, (often twisted) references to proverbs, or the search for meaning in life… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Far_Side
