The mask has a big flap on the front &#8212; that&#8217;s the Snoopy and Woodstock part, they&#8217;re a pair of flappers &#8212; that opens easily so that the child wearing this can eat and drink. And since the hole is in no way sealed by the flap, which only connects at one end, even when the mask is closed, breath will clearly flow into and out of the gaps at the easy spaces at the top and bottom of the flap, rather than the fastest path pulling through the fabric.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-6515\" src=\"http:\/\/aaugh.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/MaskOpen-300x161.jpg\" alt=\"Mask open to reveal face hole\" width=\"300\" height=\"161\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aaugh.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/MaskOpen-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aaugh.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/MaskOpen.jpg 672w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But hey, maybe pirate mask makers aren&#8217;t first and foremost concerned with our health?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Allison, the AAUGH Blog Fashion Editor, presented me with this item, purchased at the local 99 Cents Only store, where literally nothing actually costs 99 cents any more (things marked 99 cents cost $1.
