Aha! Here’s where these members-only strips caught up to the Saturday strips that started being colored in grayscale! It all fits together, sort of, and badly. Just an ongoing timeline of shrugs.

I feel like this is the first time we’ve ever actually SEEN the jetpack
except she’s wearing a shirt over it, isn’t she
I think it was in one of the members-only wallpapers
First-panel Joyce reminds me of Robin. Weird.
It’s the hair
It’s wedding hair, so we’re not going to see it again after this arc, right?
Nah, more Leslie. And it’s totally the hair.
…I can’t for the life of me figure out what the square-shaped object falling off of Joyce as she flies away is supposed to be.
…also, speaking of Saturday strips, I was digging through the Wayback Machine earlier to find when a strip originally published and I think I found a small (like, four or five) number of them that got left out of the reruns, but I need to double check.
wedding invite i think
I think Joyce threw the jetpack-shirt and a beach towel on over her wedding dress. Before this, we were only seeing Joyce from the shoulders up to keep it out of frame. The “you’re not supposed to see the bride in her dress before the ceremony” rule must apply to the audience too.
(Though that also could’ve suggested she spent the whole “search for Walky command post” sequence naked. Look, who am I to judge others’ wedding traditions?)
Yeah I’m trying to figure out what that square is too and I got nothing.
I think it’s the towel she was using to cover up the bottom of her wedding dress. Notice the bottom half of her outfit turns white in the last panel, but it’s the same shade as the falling thing in the earlier panels.
I just realized this whole scene is probably taking place on a road west of denver, and as someone who goes to university in the general area, I appreciate that
Huh. I’ve honestly never wondered before, but where does the whole “You mustn’t see her before the ceremony” thing come from, anyway? The best I can figure is back from the days when marriage among the rich was a property transaction, and therefore the groom couldn’t see the bride before the ceremony in case he said “Fuck no, I’m not marrying her” but he wouldn’t dare say it in front of everyone.
Wikipedia says that’s essentially the case: when arranged marriages were common, they didn’t want the groom to see the bride and nope out.
Super-Joyce, AWAY
And, i sense a hell of a conversation in the very near future
Joyce, bringing new meaning to the term “mission focused” on a constant basis.
Joyce, all these threats aren’t doing much to undermine Dorothy’s perspective here.
Oof, good point!
So if Dorothy realizes that HA is playing her, and so HA tries to kill her, then Dorothy can’t run to Joyce for help. That seems like it could be a problem.
