I wanted to do a callback to the very first Dumbing of Age strip, with its inaugural poo.  However, as fun as callbacks are, I didn't think it introduced the characters well.   I killed my darling and tried another joke.  

And Joyce's directional thumb becomes a thumbs-up.  

Though I did add into the final version Becky's initial description of this college as being "the big leagues."

Well, this DEFINITELY makes me think Becky is rooming with Joyce now. I can't imagine inviting someone to take a dump in your bathroom if they had their own down the hall.

Hmm... I like the poop version, surprisingly.

Though look at the difference in the way the door swings. If the two of them are rooming together, it is not in Joyce's previous room.

I love seeing old and new strips put together, seeing the evolution of the art style.

Pretty sure this is just Becky’s room and Joyce is moving her in.

It is pretty insane. I forget exactly when the head / body proportions adjusted.

So it's starting over, sort-of. This post implies that the new "season" is going to reset the narrative enough to make it possible to start here for new readers, yet judging by this first strip the happenings of the previous semester still happened as back-story for the new "season".

Whoa! I didn't even notice the art style change so much. Seeing them side by side is neat.

I mean, the strip it's a callback to is literally Becky inviting Joyce to take a dump in Joyce's own bathroom, this would just be the same in reverse?
