I’m in your MIND!

We skip a few months into the future and Joyce has a redesigned haircut. At the time I was working at Mars 2112, a theme restaurant, in which I wore a Star Trek uniform and operated a spaceship simulator ride every four minutes for 11 hours a day. So in between those 4 minute intervals, I would sit in the dark and doodle on little pieces of scratchpaper I kept in my pockets. I started experimenting more with how the characters looked, because, like, what else are you going to do with your time? And I can’t remember exactly where the inspiration for Joyce’s new hair shape came from, but here it is.
It’s funny how, over the years, her hair gradually morphed back into basically the shape it started out as. I mean, it was way-better drawn than it was before, but the general shape returned. Sometimes when you push yourself to change, you find something awesome that sticks. Other times, muscle memory kind of slowly reasserts itself.

Well that sucks for her, she’s going to hear Anti-Joyce saying all kinds of dirty stuff.
“Harder”.
I don’t think it was ever specifically mentioned on this site, when was Is a Song Forever made in relation to It’s Walky? In terms of what IW strips were made at roughly the same time.
Its the great demon king anti-Joyce!
hey, is that where the inspiration for sal’s future job came from?
yes
“Hey! Listen!”
So, that’s where Navi went.
Fan theory: Joyce may have killed a physical manifesteducation part of her personality but since anti-Joyce is a part of her psyche Like some some sort of id and originated from her Anti-Joyce will just respond her again.
I’m not even sure that’s a fan theory and not straight-up canon, ’cause while that Anti-Joyce was dead the thoughts she represented are clearly living on.
Yeah. The Dup-o-matic didn’t “separate” Joyce into two, it copied the stuff buried in the original. It was just easier for Joyce to attack and kill a living human being (Anti-Joyce) than to deal with her own buried “Anti” tendencies. So the tendencies are still there in Joyce’s mind; the real “problem” was never solved, which leads us to today’s comic.
The last time Joyce appeared on this site was three and a half months ago. Granted, some of that was Roomies stuff, but even so, I’m not surprised I hadn’t noticed the change in hairstyle before.
The shape of her hairstyle redesign bears some similarities to Mary’s.
I can’t speak for anyone else, but my head canon has remained that Joyce changed her hairstyle, as many others have before and since, as part of an effort to demonstrate, even if only to herself, control over every aspect of her life she could and it slowly lapsed back as the inciting incident faded from immediate relevance. Consider for example that her hair is back to the old style by the time she changed her outfit to “rescue” a certain someone from Squadron 48…
All that you are is a face in the mirror! I close my eyes and you disappear.
I’m what you face when you face in the mirror, long as you live I will still be here.
It has occurred to me I used those lines already. I need to switch it up a bit.
*clears throat*
Do you really think, that I would ever let you go? Do you think I’d ever set you free! If you do, I’m sad to say, it simply isn’t so. You will never get away from meeeeee!~
