With the years he became a good listener. “Are you talking to me?” versus “I hear you loud and clear”

If you're right handed, your left ear will grow. If you're left handed, its your right ear. Scientists believe its a natural mechanism to make up for not being competent with your off hand, so at least you can hear predators coming sooner from that side.

Focal length of the two pictures can play a big factor.

A little maybe, but these are also slightly different angles which accentuate the nose in the second photo more. The Travis Bickle pic is shot from at or below the shoulder just a bit. The modern one is about ear level.

Edited for clarity.

Wait wtf, do our ears actually keep growing as we age?

The article you linked says they appear to grow, but is less clear about how much they actually do. It also says:

>Our ears are 90 percent grown by age six, and our noses are almost fully grown by the time we’re teens, but both can change shape and appear to enlarge as we age.

The effect of gravity is similar to what’s seen in antique windows on homes, my lord. Even the mole be lookin a lil droopy😰

That was the first CD I bought for myself, a neighbor was having a yard sale and I bought it for like 25c or something, it was decades ago so I don't really remember.

We actually got to see him a couple of years ago, first row VIP and it was worth it.

Maybe its because they need to get bigger for better reception as we age, maybe its gravity or maybe its like a muscle and as we age we listen better and have toned our ears. The world may never know.

Gotta say though it would been a better representation if the foreheads would be at the same angle.

Do your ears hang low?

Do they wobble to and fro?

Can you tie them in a knot?

Can you tie them in a bow?

Gravity always wins.

An unfortunate fact of getting older.

Mine are growing hair to try and hide but the joke's on them because the rest of my hair is falling out. Aging is overrated.

This reminds me, why don’t people get moles removed? I don’t think they necessarily look bad, but that’s a lifetime of having to shave around that thing, catching it with a fingernail when I had an itch, etc.
