    Yeah, the long hair would freak her out more than creepy girl…but ummm…where is the long hair, exactly?

      If Phix can lose the wings, as Shellinx can, hair isn’t a problem.

      I’d hate to spoil the next comic… but no, she did not visit a salon.

      Shelly regained her memories of her first few decades as a human, but hasn’t forgotten all the tricks she’s learned in 80,000 years of being a sphinx either.

    Maybe she can change the details of her human appearance now that she has attained her Sphinx-hood.

    Or maybe she just cut it while we weren’t looking.

        Mebbe’ Shellinx has the same ability for” self-coiffeur-ing” as Jin… Bud is probably going to utter another ” well..shit” 😆

    Ah man. I was just getting used to her long hair. And how’s chopped it off again. But, wait. She can shapeshift to a Sphinx and back. Can Shelly now do the hair trick like Jin can?

    So I guess a haircut is a bit easier than a good excuse. She chose the excuse last time.

    Short hair and the old hairstyle will pass for now. Thing is, you can disguise your appearance, but you can’t disguise who you are. Shelly is not who she was and that will come through eventually. Sporting a dress and necklace as everyday wear is already giving the game away.

      Even so, Shelly is being courteous toward Luci — an example of growth. Good for her!

        Wait, I thought she and Luci had long since called a truce once Shelly started teaching self defense at Jacqui’s place.

      • Fairportfan
        August 8, 2011, 9:45 pm | #

        Actually, i recall it as Luci being combative toward Shelly because she thought that Shelly was not respecting Jacqui properly and Shelly just sort of putting up with it.

        (I particularly recall two flat tires and a tire pump…)

      You’d think that, but people have a remarkable tendency to ignore things that don’t fit their preconceived notions about a person. Someone might not realize a friend has changed unless some outside event leads them to expect the change. I learn lots of interesting things from people’s reactions to my crazy-person antics.

        On the one hand, true…on the other hand, if someone is well outside expectations, it gets noticed. There was a lady in my office who ALWAYS wore dresses and skirts. The first day she wore slacks, I about had a heart attack and thought the world was coming to an end. Definitely noticed by everyone else too. 🙂

        I think that Shelly has worn skirts and dresses before (though maybe not to work at the yoga place), but is that really a dress? Maybe she’s only out of character by wearing a necklace (which would be much easier to miss).

      • Casey
        August 8, 2011, 5:03 pm | #

        I’m guessing the confusion came from assuming she’s wearing the same dress she had on last time we saw her. It looks similar enough to her current shirt that it is an easy enough mistake to make, and we don’t actually see her lower body. Obviously, trying to teach kickboxing in a dress is not the best of ideas.

      • scantron
        August 8, 2011, 8:01 pm | #

        HUH!?… How in the world can you say that’s “close” to what she was wearing last time? it isn’t a dark color with flower print, it’s solid white. it doesn’t have those ruffly neckline things, it doesn’t have the really short sleeves, it has more of a t-shirt like sleeve down to her mid bicep. AND it’s missing the ruffles at the end of them as well. the neckline MAY be about the same depth, and shape, but that’s about it…

        yeah, while ladies always moan about no-one noticing their new hairstyle, when my mate decides to shave his mustache off after years, I cannot register it, and wonder for quite a while, “whats changed??” 🙂

    But can Luci see Connie (CG) now? And has Shelley figured out how to explain what looks like a 11YO girl that shows up everywhere Shelley does?

    Okay. I’m assuming Shelly can change her hair like Jin now.

    Is CG visible to others normally?

    If not, can she choose whether to be visible?

    • Casey

      The only people we know have seen creepy girl are Monica, Tina and Bud. All of them have shown the ability to see other people’s demons, something that most people cannot do. I’d assume that creepy girl follows the same rules of visibility as demons.

        Pretty sure Phix has seen CG as well. CG was playing Guard dog for Shelly against the other Sphinxes.

      i think shelly is the one which chooses whether CG is visible or not to others.

    “She doesn’t deserve to be freaked out.”?
    Who are you and what have you done with Shelly?

    And, maybe she just got a haircut? Occam’s razor would do it nicely…

    ???

    Me wonders why would CG like Luci.

    – – – – –

    Thoughts:

    1) Luci has a very similar personality to pre-Shellynx Shelly (self-doubting yet loud, angry, and stubborn).

    2) CG still represents the boiler room, and Luci is someone Shelly never tried to let in, boosting her stock in CG’s view.

    3) Where there’s Luci, there’s JACQUI !!!

    • Yamara
      August 8, 2011, 7:54 am | # | Reply

      CG has grown beyond the boiler room, too.

      Luci, Shelly and her are all ex-cons. They all get where they’re coming from now.

      • Yamara
        August 8, 2011, 7:56 am | #

        Well, not sure Shelly/CG were ever strictly “convicted”, but, you know.

      • Fairportfan
        August 8, 2011, 8:14 am | #

        Is Luci an ex-con?

        Since i’ve read Every Single Page of Wapsi, i must have encountered that, if she is … but i don’t remember it.

        If that’s what you meant, where was it?

        She mentioned something about Juvie Hall. I don’t have the exact strip, but I think it was just after Jacqui hired her as a fitness instructor.

      • Atomic
        August 8, 2011, 8:32 am | #

        Luci background includes some exposition about being in a State Home. Can’t find that strip at the moment Think it was a single strip

    Bah! If she can make up an excuse for the disappearance of her tattoo, she can explain away longer hair. Extensions aren’t too hard to obtain. 🙂

    She is one of the people who knows Shelly the most in “normal life”, and would probably take notice of way-more-than-average hair growth.
