Maude Reads Things

That is very convenient timing and I'm sure it means nothing that this new hairstyle is very similar to Dorothy's bedhead.

DEFINITELY NOT A CRY FOR HELP DEFINITELY A PRE-MEDITATED, MONTHS-LONG PLAN TO DOROTHIZE MY HAIR

AE Gonzalez

You grew your hair out so you could cut it. Ok.

Fart Captor

Maybe they a little TOO match… 🤔

Astariel

I also am not used to seeing the other side of Becky's face, and in no way do I believe that this is not a cry for help.

Empress of Robots

Detroit: Become Dorothy. Wait. Bloomington: Become Dorothy (that's better)

Girlycore

Her hair was lopsided. It required growing out so it could be shaped properly. That's actually pretty normal.

Logibear

Where is Booster when you need them?

Megh

i see you two now have complimentary pfp's here i approve

Dot

My “this is not a cry for help” haircut is raising a lot of questions already answered by the haircut

Kelly (they-them)

Not a cry for help, because Becky viscerally refuses to ask for help in any form

Alexis Smith

Yeah, I remember Becky commenting in a strip years ago about how her hair would get to that awkward stage and then she'd cut it, leaving her bangs, hence why her bangs got as exaggerated as they did. I think she had already wanted a different hairstyle and yesterday's events... Kickstarted that decision.

Smoochie

I dunno guys, it’s giving Molly Ringwald and Judd Nelson’s characters’ daughter born of wedlock from The Breakfast Club

Fart Captor

I would be less worried about her mental health if she were still being more mopey. I don't trust this mask she's wearing ☹️

Harold

Becky's statement about Bond villains is slightly ironic, since that not-at-all-forced super-wide smile is making me think of Richard Kiel's Jaws.

Lazuli

"so its only a coincidence it resembles dorothys?"

C

"...And there's no reason you'd cut your hair to resemble Dorothy's...?"

Also, wow, Ruth is so much taller than she is.

GundamBradley

I guess it DOES stand to reason she'd been growing it out, but hmm.

Rob McBobson

Now that a few days have passed, it's kinda humorous to me that when Walky told Dorothy off for being a sore winner, half the comments here were like "YES! The next days are sure to bring us a long series of strips where all Dorothy's friends tell her how HORRIBLE she is and how they all HATE her now!" And then the actual next days got us people walking to class and also Becky with a haircut. :)

EnterTheHero

No scars? How disappointing.

Mariah

I don't want the kind of "consequences" that many want just because of how frankly punative and sadistic they are don't get me wrong I think there will be a point where joyce and dorothy are going to have to reflect on how there relationship has impacted others but not this culturally christian public shaming they crave.

Tessea

*counts* Three freckles on each cheek. Story checks out.

Railway Series Book Club

its interesting how many very vocal readers want this comic to be like one of those GoAnimate Caillou Gets Grounded For 10 Million Years videos for some reason

Sajuuk-Khar

Ruth, I think the only way to be sure the bangs are really there is to kiss her harshly on the mouth

Sajuuk-Khar

The better to kabedon Becky with, my dear

Jeremy AR

It is extremely funny how i knew what they wanted was just not going to happen

Sajuuk-Khar

“Well, I figger either I dye it blonde, fill out her Yale application, assume her name, an’ go there to become th’ ruthless political operative she can’t ever be…” “Or?” “You an’ I make out licky style and then ya slam my face into yer cooch.” “You sly little bitch. I’m in.”

CoreyWW

I do like that this is all Becky learning the wrong lesson from all this, which is “everytime I’m honest about my emotions, it makes everything worse”

Sajuuk-Khar

I kind of hope offscreen she’s been texting Robin and getting just dogshit advice about hiding everything real that is also technically great realpolitik advice for our awful timeline

Gale Tazzin

becky always has at least 5 plausible explanations for any vulnerable action she takes

Sajuuk-Khar

Also ironic given indicators of her trying to do a Dark Mirror Dorothy thing in order to have what Dorothy has—not Joyce, not really, whom I think Becky fully realizes will never love her that way, but Dorothy’s…“acceptance” by society, her sense of stability, how much her partner sexually desires her, etc., etc.—and the fact that if anyone codes as “state actor” like Bond despite her best efforts, it’s Dotty

joe mcguire

Yeah, I’m pretty sure I remember her saying it explicitly, too. It’s just the timing is suspect 😅 you can’t convince me you don’t need a hug, Becky! Go find Leslie immediately! 😅😆

Sajuuk-Khar

Noooo, Becky. Avoid Leslie. She’ll only smother you. Text Robin some more, yessssss. Repress everythingggg. Get in a horrible sexual tangram with your R.A. do it do it do it

Empress of Robots

Joke’s on Ruth: Becky’s James Bond villain scar is on the INSIDE

Smoochie

All Freckle Everything

Maybeeus

CLEARLY Joyce must be cursed with immortality and forced to wander the desolate deserts for 1000 years for the crime of Being Gay and Annoying. Any less punishment would be an insult to the very idea of justice!

Dmitri0240

Yeah. At the end of the day, these sort of messy relationship transitions with a few hours of overlap are very common. Adults understand that friends are more than a sum of their errors of judgement. Personally, I find it healthy that Joe and Walky are focusing their sadness on the fact that their relationships ended, rather than nitpicking the precise timeline of how they ended.

tifani

This is 1000% a cry for help. Also I like that Ruth apparently does not remember what Becky’s hair looked like before (or apparently what Dorothy’s hair looks like now) to be more disturbed about what this actually is and is just focusing on the bangs thing.

tifani

Her joker scars are on the inside.

tifani

Hey we had the exact same thought apparently but I went with joker.

tifani

She is very well suited for a career in politics

tifani

I think you have to get that all the appearance of things being calm and fine on the outside is just theater basically. There’s a storm coming.

tifani

You guys really take people at their surface level word every time huh? She’s LYING.

tifani

Everything Becky is saying right now is a very transparent bit of bullshit and the fact that anyone paying attention would just accept what she is saying is legit disturbing. But people ignore screaming cries for help all the time.

tifani

Willis is being obviously sarcastic in the alt tag for anyone deciding to take Becky at her word btw. That is a Stepford smile on her face.

tifani

And this is why Dorothy should not have sent an intermediary to do her job.

The Deliberate Myth

The color is definitely more Molly Ringwald, but the hair itself looks more like Ally Sheedy (pre makeover).

Empress of Robots

I am personally here for Becky's villain arc/screaming cry for help.

GundamBradley

She IS downplaying things, but it's not like she can just magically grow her hair back to facilitate this if she wasn't already doing it.

KittyKai

...I forgot how good Becky is at hiding her emotions x_x

tifani

Willis called this look “single white female-ing” Dorothy on the dumbing of age tumblr.

Smoochie

Poison Ivy and Mr Freeze from Batman & Robin, except it’s Becky rocking the armor fit and Walky in a green leotard This is the villain arc I came to see

Lyman Green

As much as I love DOA I also hate it because I’m reminded how everything at their ages is a learning experience. Dumbing often seems so pertinent to these characters’ experiences. This is not specifically based on today’s strip. Just a note.

Grace Serenity

True friendship is the scars we made along the way?

Grace Serenity

@Tiffani I do take people at their word (with the exception of politicians) because I refuse to allow the shittiest people to dictate my attitude. I will also not hesitate to burn a bridge when I find someone has lied to me, because I work hard to be genuine and I expect the same in return.

DramaQueen

Thank goodness. That would have been an awful, anti-woman, anti-gay storyline. Let the girls be happy. It’s not like they were Jonny Cash and left a whole family with kids behind, they are freshmen and were only dating those boys for a few days. Becky of course has no legitimate non-stalker claim on Joyce what-so-ever and has treated Dorothy like dogshit.

DramaQueen

And Dorothy gets the same punishment but doubled for being Smart as well as gay.

DramaQueen

Or some kind of Christian pamphlet on morality.

DramaQueen

Haha, Becky would run circles around you, that girl has a million stories, jokes, and insults to avoid saying what she really means. I would fine her unbearable in real life, she’s funny in a comic of course.

DramaQueen

I’d love to see Becky’s goth phase.
