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.
Historically the barber did medical procedures, including dental. Barber quartets were created to down out the cries of patients since they didn’t have anesthesia. I think this comic is making a joke about that, cutting hair was just one thing they did
I think it’s that he’s a “barber”, so he “barbs”. Also he styles (“stiles”) hair. The joke, which is a stretch, is that you know he’s a dummy from the misspelling, so the “ha ha” is that he’s that dumb and literal.
