on December 18, 2012 at 12:01 amThis was the intended “cliffhanger” for the first year I mentioned earlier that missed its scheduled mark.
You can see I was really trying with the anarchist shapes and swirls in the background, attempting to make this look dark and foreboding. You get an “A” for effort, 18-year-old me. You get something much lower for execution.
For the book collections (and maybe the original website, I’m too lazy to look?), I threw in some gradients to try to amp up the darkness to what my mind’s eye saw at the time. This time around, let’s just see the strip for what it is.

Not going to link to an alternate version so we can see the ‘fixed’ version?

I like the original black-and-white better.
I think this one had my favorite book commentary. Short, simple and to the point.
“Woah! Who ordered the narm?”
“Of course you realize this means war.”
Early !-Verse Joyce vs Early !-Verse Sal.
It’s like a bunny trying to tear open the ankles of a wolf. Oh Joyce… Your Fatal-Attraction-Fu is no match for Sal’s Sholin-Batman-Style.

Then again, I’m still a bit hazy on exactly when the dead parents thing happened, but I thought it was around the missing bike thing and not the first move?
You’re right.
That first panel is pretty awesome though.
Joyce, Joyce, Joyce. Get professional help, seriously.
There are all sorts of hitmen you can hire, for instance.
Yes! I will have to get rid of the girl who already broke up with the object of my affections and hasn’t spoken to him since then! By, um, um, getting her to vanish harder!
I WILL BECOME THE NIGHT.
You are going to declare a war on an ex-girlfriend that disappeared and was the instigator of the breakup.
Joyce, I know logic I not your strong suit but think about this for like, ten seconds…
WHO THE FUCK LET JOYCE HAVE THE DEATH NOTE‽
