"That's a plant? Thought it was Meade's bed head?"

Out loud, I read a comment by BarrySanders20 on that post with a photo of a spiky plant in front of the window through which we see the first snowfall.

I say: "Yeah, Meade wears his hair like The Little Prince."

Meade says: "Meade wears his hair like Butters."

I have a realization: "Maybe Butters is The Little Prince."

[IMAGES REMOVED]
ADDED: Meade says: "Butters' hair is like one of the stars." And stars are crucially important in "The Little Prince." The Little Prince, before disappearing from Earth, says:
“You - you alone will have the stars as no one else has them... In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night... You - only you - will have stars that can laugh.”

Meade has hair? I can't remember seeing a picture of him when he's not wearing a baseball cap.

@Curious George, I should have remembered that one, if only for the expression on Meade's face.

He was in postion in the frame and i had to get into the framed space. That accounts for the pose.

At great expense in time and treasure as a college student, I gave a first edition of The Little Prince to my girlfriend, whose only comment was, "Oh, a used book." She was my ex-girlfriend shortly thereafter.

Butters is not the Little Prince, his parents keep him firmly grounded here on Earth.

What a sad story, mikee.

Does the Little Prince sing "Lu Lu Lu, I got some apples, Lu Lu Lu . . ."
