That last Becky face is so cute

William Lewis

Love the intro of the new hair style! Excellent work, Willis. Nothing to damn you here 😉

Andrea Andrew

There it is. Not gonna lie. I actually like the haircut.

Smoochie

Even if they’re done for now, there’s something heartwarming about Becky learning how to jumpscare like Dina

Johanne

It's so nice to see a smile on her even if it's just a snarky one

Logibear

Awww, Becky did a Dina......... and i'm sad again.

5099 5618 v2.0

Did anyone bring a bottle of champagne? Seems crucial, if we're launching Red Flag, today.

HenryVolt

I am ONLY concerned because I'm starting to realize her getting a haircut is her expressing that she's going through a big shift in life.

William Lewis

Oh, and Becky? Go show it off to Dina as part of apologizing to her and have some nasty hot makeup sex.

Luna Invidia

so she got a Dorothy haircut?

Astariel

Becky is symmetrical now? This is weird. I don't think I like it.

David Jackson

I had no investment in this ship but the name's selling me hard

Railway Series Book Club

becky's heartbreak haircuts seem to trend shorter with each iteration, huh looking forward to seeing her with a buzzcut after her next relationship blows up

Andrea Andrew

Oh no, you’re right. Becky, don’t do this. You won’t win Joyce from Dorothy.

Dot

It’s, uh, kinda just Dorothy’s haircut, huh

C.T. Phipps

Watching WELCOME TO DERRY, I am now imagining Ruth irrationally afraid of Becky.

Dan Rabin

I had to go back and compare. Since the elevator ride with Asma, Becky has cut off the long hair on her right and generally evened out the two sides. And yes, the new structure resembles Dorothy's last-seen hairstyle, except that Becky has two little pointy bits on top (I think someone else pointed this out based on a preview). Becky seems to feel better having exercised control over her hair. "She's-right-behind-you" is a trope that keeps on giving. See https://www.dumbingofage.com/2024/comic/book-15/01-love-dares-you-to-change/superheroing/

...This has been in preview panels for months. I've been...very concerned by it's similarities to Dorothy's hairstyle.

Railway Series Book Club

eeeeh idk, theres fringe similarities but i think that just comes down to This Is How David Willis Draws Hair she's not nearly round enough and i find her doinkage to be... wanting

ArdieBea

I don't like it because it reads as unrequited yearning; like, "Look, Joyce, I can be like Dorothy for you!" Which is just shit for everyone's relationships. I feel like it's not a marker of 'Big Life Change' so much as regression. And like, yay, Dorothy, for tee-ing up Ruth to do the welfare check thing, but honestly, Becky has a fuck-ton of garbage to sort her way through; she needs professional help.

Morgan Byrd

A second kind of butch has struck the McIntyre

Harold

In the midst of all the well-deserved focus on the hair, I'd also like to say good on Dorothy for reaching out to Ruth. Who is actually very good at her job, when she really needs to be.

Dot

Well it being an inferior version of Dorothy’s haircut just kind of adds some layers to Becky’s current insecurities, now doesn’t it

I Know Why the Mowed Lawn Screams

i hesitate to call it a dorothy cut bc imo becky’s new hair looks better on her than on dorothy (edit; didnt realize how vague this sentence was in retrospect, my bad)

Giant Speck

The haircut is kind of giving Molly Ringwald.

ArdieBea

@Queen. Minimalist right-side doinker.

Astariel

Hmm, I don't actually think it looks that much like Dorothy's hair, though maybe that's just because Becky's hair is wavier. If she is trying to make it look like Dorothy's, that's a major yikes!

Fart Captor

Given where Becky's head has been at I can't imagine the resemblance is coincidental. I think my girl may be taking her semi-fake rivalry with Dotty to a new and very stupid place

tifani

So she gave herself a haircut that looks suspiciously similar to Dorothy’s? I mean it looks good but…Jesus Christ.

Smoochie

I was coming to say this in retrospect but yes. Dorothy cares, irregardless of everything else happening.

Fart Captor

It's certainly a cute look, but the resemblance has troubling implications

CoreyWW

Seconded, I’m really glad it’s outright stated Dorothy was the one to ask Ruth to come by

tifani

Look it is not exactly the same but it is similar enough to be legit disturbing which is why I think we got Ruth’s reaction.

Fart Captor

that's it I have no choice but to climb into the comic myself and violently shake Becky until she agrees to go to therapy

tifani

You know when I saw the preview panels I thought this hair style indicated a time skip and Becky growing her hair out and a sign she might be feeling better. Nope! I was so wrong! I was the wrongest I have ever been. This is literally the next day after she found out and broke up with Dina and lost her religion.

Lazuli

"what happened to your hair" thats the same reaction i got the first time i shaved my head

tifani

A shaved head would be less disturbing.

KittyKai

I'll be honest - I'm not a fan of this haircut. Her old hairstyle was a lot more punk and rebel and kind of butch in a way, which feels so much more distinctly *Becky.* This haircut feels like it's just fitting in the mold with all the other haircuts. Which I actually think might be the intention here from a narrative angle - which makes me even more worried for Becky 😰

tifani

Still kind of strikes me as getting other people to do what she should do herself. Get Billie to check on Walky. Get Ruth to check on Becky. Because she can’t handle the difficult conversations.

Lazuli

yeah..... this is not good.....

voyager-ngc5195

*Walks into Salon* *Sees Breakfast Club playing on TV* "Yes one "The Ringwald" please"

Lazuli

"say less"

Jeremy AR

I mean, in universe Becky been wanting to change it for a while, it's why she was letting hers grow so much to the point it looking like "orange seaweed" (i don't know enough about hair to get why that was necessary)

Fart Captor

it may not be DIY bangs but still it worries me

Tessea

Stop acting 'normal' Becky! You're scaring me!

Logibear

Imma give Becky the benefit of the doubt here for her hair here. Anything shorter is going to be a shock to us, and just because it is approximately the length of Dorothy's doesn't mean that was the intent, and considering its still a bit shaggy and rough I reckon that its just a happy coincidence...

Logibear

Preparing to eat my words in 3...2...1 Days.

The Balloon Animal

This is Becky's "Become President" haircut Her life's goal is to now take what she thinks is Dottie's dream (or her past dream I forget if Dorothy has talked to Becky about her life goals changing).

SkittleE

I'm gonna be honest, I'm really not seeing the Dorothy in the haircut, but given everyone else's reactions I'm gonna guess that's a fault of my perception and not that it wasn't intended by Willis

Lazuli

i cant recall that she has

Mariah

Red Flag! Red Flag! we need more toxic yuri in this strip

Kelly (they-them)

Becky's hair has been looking fantastic the last several strips she's been in and now it's fantastic in a whole new way. It's similar to her original haircut, but styled better. I think it's longer on the sides with a bit more of a wave to it

Girlycore

Our because she is the source of pain for both of them and is giving them space??

tifani

I think that pov is real convenient for her considering she’s been basically avoiding prolonged difficult conversations for the last few days. How nice that doing the “kind” thing also means not having to interact directly with consequences for another 24 hours.

Dan Rabin

Try doing a point-by-point comparison with a recent Dorothy image—the haircuts are quite similar.

DramaQueen

That is what I thought too. Is she going to go get glasses now?

DramaQueen

Ooh, that’s exactly right.

DramaQueen

Maybe not, there really isn’t much you can do with her previous lopsided, very short on one side haircut. Evening it all out is a good preliminary to the necessary growing it out stage before it can be shaped. But I think it actually looks just like Walky’s hair.

Ria

I am putting in a purchase order for 70 shares of red flag

Sajuuk-Khar

No. Dina gets no more makeup sex. ONLY RUTH NOW

Sajuuk-Khar

Hahahaha AHAHAHAHAHA THAT IS A FLIRT THE DARK HULL OF SS RED FLAG TAKES SHAPE, THE MOST DESTRUCTIVE SHIP ON THE SEVEN LESBIAN SEAS

Beck Chonigman

Agreed! It's giving off 70's lesbian vibes.

Sajuuk-Khar

Manifesting Becky and the Deadlights as a new, dark mirror to Jenny and the Straights

Andrew

‘50 shades of red’ would just have to be a romcom, right? Possibly involving redheads.

Sajuuk-Khar

A preview panel where Billie sees Buzzcut Becky and starts sprinting to Ruth’s room in a panic

Sajuuk-Khar

No, no, no. She’s not trying to win Joyce from Dorothy. That’s a sucker’s game. She’s becoming Evil Dorothy, which will by nature attract an inverted, Qlippothic Joyce. Like, say, Ruth.

Sajuuk-Khar

Becky the Sweetheart Scientist, big fan of theropods and marriage, is dead. Long live Becky the Cruel.

Shane Wegner

The last cartoon redhead in my mental database to express character changes through hairstyle was Haley Starshine.

Lea

True. But for me, every time I went through one of those "chopped 12+ inches of hair off" transitions.... Even though they were hard, they were worth it. And things were eventually overall better on the other side than wherever I'd been mired before.

Lea

I think in cases where A (like Dorothy) has harmed/hurt B (like Walky or Becky), the currently understood best practice is for A to choose actions based on what would be best for B. Not to take actions based on what would make A feel like they'd "done their part." Sometimes the right thing to do for someone else is let a third party help them. If that means our personal debt goes unresolved a little longer, but the person gets what they most need...isn't it better for us to choose based on the victim's needs, not our "need" to "make amends"?

Smoochie

So many possible names for the Becky and Ruth ship… - SS Red Flag - The Hunt For Red September (they both debuted in the month of September DoA-wise, different years) - Red Faction - Rose Red - Red Dead Redemption (yeah this one is dark, nevermind) - Left 4 Red (better)

Corronchilejano

Dina pretty much told her she was done with this mindset that she was the consolation prize. I think Dina wants Becky to choose her as her #1, and not just be something she settles with. I've no idea what's going on in Becky's head right now.

Harold

Our Flag Means Terrible Life Choices

tifani

I think it’s obviously good if anyone helps them but I think Dorothy (and people defending this) is making a lot of convenient assumptions that Walky and Becky wouldn’t have appreciated a personal discussion with her more than this behavior which reads to me more as fulfilling an obligation to appease her own guilt in a way that’s more convenient for the person who hurt the others (Dorothy) than the ones who were hurt (Walky and Becky). If Dorothy had made any kind of attempt to talk to either Walky or Becky before this and they’d said themselves that they wanted space it would be different. We haven’t seen that and we don’t actually know that. Some people want their apologies directly from the person not from some designated third party. And a huge part of Dorothy’s more recent behavior has been avoiding dealing directly with the consequences of her actions as much as possible. I can’t give her the benefit of the doubt on this. She likes to be seen doing the right thing. She likes to tell herself she’s being responsible and she likes to do it often in a way that leaves witnesses to her doing the right thing and being responsible. Now it’s a matter of public record she assigned other people to do damage control for her and she doesn’t have to get her hands dirty directly by doing the hard and private work of handling her problems face to face with the people she hurt.

tifani

I think this many of us looking at this haircut and seeing Dorothy makes it pretty clear Willis intended for this to be Becky mimicking Dorothy. If he wanted it to not be the case he would not have given her THIS specific haircut. And Becky doing this makes me extremely worried about the current state of her mental health. This is distressingly weird behavior and the last 24 hours has just been her doing worrying thing after worrying thing. She broke up with her girlfriend, she rejected her religion, and now she has altered her appearance to look not just like anyone but like the girl she was rejected for that lead to the other two events. She needs actual therapy and a real adult. Someone should call Leslie.

Empress of Robots

1. Give up god. 2. Become Dorothy. 3. ?????? 4. Profit.

Ilana Feldman

Honestly, the haircut looks nothing like Dorothy's to me. I don't actually see any similarities besides it being short. It does look a lot like Becky's previous hairstyle, though!

Sajuuk-Khar

2. Become EVIL Dorothy 3. Fuck Ruth about a billion times, in front of everyone

Sajuuk-Khar

NORMALLY SEDUCE RUTH, BECKY BECOME THE MONSTER AND THE MONSTERFUCKER IN ONE

Sajuuk-Khar

*cracking champagne on the prow in a fucking Blackbeard costume, laughing raucously, the champagne is cursed*

tifani

Maybe consider getting your eyes checked? It absolutely looks like Dorothy’s. For you to say it looks nothing like it feels like denial.

Empress of Robots

I personally am here for Becky X Ruth. Mostly because their shipname is Carrot Top (and Bottom)

5099 5618 v2.0

@Beck(y) Chonigman Bit of the old Love Lies Bleeding, eh?

jafortee

There’s gotta be a ship name for them both being on the rebound. …Red No-Jays? No that sucks, Carrot Top wins by default.

Katrina Marie Paton

@Sajuuk-Khar ummm...you DO know what a suicide pact is, right?

Sajuuk-Khar

I’m familiar with the idea and it’s a horrible idea and I’m absolutely here for it!! I want to see them make very bad life choices, together
