The trope is characters who appear to be bald, but aren't. That seems more like the opposite; maybe Furry Baldness?


* It can result in FurryConfusion in ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball''. The show often forgets that all of its characters are animals, and in one episode Richard states he is balding, even though he completely coated in pink fur. There is also a very interesting case in "The Mustache", where Gumball and Darwin begin sprouting black hairs everywhere. The two remove them with chewing gum and its wrapper, but they keep popping up, so Gumball tears all his fur off and is left with nothing but pink skin. Darwin, [[FurryConfusion the fish]], does the same thing, apparently having '''scaled''' himself.

* Most of the male characters on ''WesternAnimation/EdEddnEddy'' suffer from this. Ed appears to have a ring of short, black hairs around the edge of his scalp, which becomes an orange pompadour when styled in one episode. Kevin has something similar when he takes his hat off, but in red. Eddy appears to only have three foot-long hairs coming out of the back of his head. Jimmy has an odd, poofy hairstyle (described by other characters as resembling a chicken's rear end) which blends seamlessly with his skin color. Johnny is the exception, as while he also has a multitude of tiny black hairs, he is stated in-universe to be bald.

** Homer Simpson ''is'' bald. However, his kids have hair the same color as their skin. One episode has Lisa being mistaken for a DumbBlonde, and another has Bart's hair reverting to its natural red from lack of sun exposure. In a third episode, they start obsessing over where their head ends and the hair begins, with Lisa hastily drawing a hairline with marker.

** Homer Simpson ''is'' bald. However, bald, although what little hair he has is stylized as an M over each ear - part of a zigzag pattern going around the back of his head - and two strands looping over the top like a comb over. In ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsonsMovie'', Bart pulls on the M and it unravels as if it were one strand.

** Also, thanks to NegativeContinuity, Homer has lost his hair in [[MultipleChoicePast many different ways]]. One episode shows a young Homer losing hair as he brushes ("plenty more where that came from"), another shows him pulling out his hair after each time he learns Marge is pregnant (after the first two, he's down to 3 strands of hair, and he pulls one more upon hearing about Maggie). The first example came from the second season, while the second came from the sixth season.
