"Viz" Wigwatching (Hardback)

wig, n[wig]. Abbr. fr periwig: A covering for the head, intended to imitate naturally growing hair, commonly made of nylon or inflammable oragne plastic; A risible head-dress worn by slapsters for the amusement of passers-by; ~gy, adj. [wigi] Descriptive of one who appears to have a dead cat on his head. From the dawn of time, man's greatest enemy has been the unstoppable progress of male-pattern baldness. But ever since the first Neanderthal killed a ginger mammoth and put a roughly sheared lump of his pelt on top of his head, the human race has been fighting back. 10,000 years later, and with new space-age technologies and materials at his disposal, modern man's wig is a far cry from that early crude attempt. Believe it or not, all the men pictured in this book are thought to be wearing wigs.
