Well, that’s one way to stop looking like the Princess
That being said, it *is* a hairstyle that the Princess might conceivably wear. It fits her punk aesthetic.
now she looks like someone (maybe the princess) who doesn’t want to look like the princess.
No, if she looked like someone who may be the princess but doesn’t want to look like the princess, she’d be wearing a giant conical hat.
I think you’ve said ‘nuf.
‘Nuff said.
I recently learned that that kind of hat is called a hennin.
I think stop looking like the Princess is not the reason. More likely she wants to look more elvish.
Embrace the power of AND
The big smile in panel 4? Totally agreed – a smile like that would look very out of place on the princess.
OTOH, it probably was, “I got rid of it!” not “How do I look with that smile?”
She might already be channeling the Old Elvish Spirit. Question is: Jailhouse Rock or Heartbreak Hotel?
More like Kentucky Rain Song…
Man, looks like playing Princess aged her.
Smoking like the Princess could be a cause, too. Really adds centuries to the appearance.
She bummed a cigarette off the Princess at the end of the concert — she smoked before.
One pack a day, one less century away.
She probably has as much access to healing magic as the princess. Also, tackling gnolls and derro is not a way to make you worry about what smoking will do to your lungs.
She hates the mission but she will do it!
A railship? Are they going to run into Plaidbeard at some point?
More likely Plaidbeard (if he’s still alive, or undead) will try to run into them, or *over* them.
Personally remain unconvinced. Would be surprised if we ever see the Dwarf again after Prestige literally nuked him.
Bit characters have come back from being eaten by Cube.
It would depend on whether it’s funny, to be sure.
Bring him back as a cyborg and give him a missile launcher for irony.
Ah, Roxy… You had access to a wizard, several clerics, a sadist- sorry, mad doctor and a castle’s worth of resources, surely there was something you would’ve used to remove the hair dye. Or dye over it. (Apologies, am incredibly biased.)
Remember she had access to a wizard, several clerics, a sadist- sorry, mad doctor and a castle’s worth of resources to ensure that her disguise was good enough to pass and would not fall apart easily. And she didn’t know when the need would stop.
Also the mad doctor is currently undergoing treatment, but he wasn’t when she disguised herself.
Best practical use of “I’m an Elf, I need the biggest damn pointed ears possible” trope EVAR.
I think this strip has less to do with “don’t want to look like Princess”* and more of “tired, beat, worn-out from being the Princess for so long” and “dread of going to see the Elves”.
* Though, that’s certainly why she shaved off the blue patch and went punk-rock elf.
So are these LotR elves or more Silmarillion elves? Or faeries? I forget.
Remember the baseball episode. Silmarillion. Definitely Silmarillion.
They put the hoity into hoity-toity.
Splashing her face with water without the faucet running, I see …
