Doesn’t seem fast to me either. Hair growth is definitely more noticeable on a short haircut. Probably because we tend to measure against what we know, instead of absolute units. So for example, the part of Becky’s hair that was buzzed appears to be 1000% or more longer than it was, while her top hair only appears maybe 50% longer.
But wait, Dina had Reese’s Puffs and Captain Crunch.
Could it be that like Robin and her Omnipresent Skittles Aroma, Dina has consumed so much breakfast cereal that she now bears a permanent aura that’s part of this balanced breakfast?
Or is it just that the genetics corp who cloned her from petrified mosquitoes decided to fill the gaps with Golden Graham DNA instead of frog.
We should ask some scientists if they can solve this mystery, and also see why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
Is there anyone in this cast that a commenter hasn’t imagined having the voice of Tara Strong?
Doctor_Who
She’s pretty versatile.
Between her and Billy West, I bet they could do every character.
He Who Abides
Just a guess? Joe.
Lieutenant Dan
I imagine Patrick Warburton as Joe.
Doctor_Who
H. Jon Benjamin for me.
Demoted Oblivious
John Hamm, or yeah, Warburton (but without the intellectual flaws of Puddy. Joe’s an evolving womanizer, but doesn’t come across as dumb (public ‘List’ aside))
Definitely not Archer though I’m having trouble placing Benjamins other voices.
Maybe Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

Galasso? (I always figured Maurice LaMarche could be a good Galasso.)
Daniel M Ball
I always figured Becky as more voiced by Rebecca Frasier myself.

There is a law in the voice actor world that at least one female voice in any cartoon has to be done by Tara Strong, it used to be Tress MacNeille, but she has passed the crown on to Tara.
Joyce with the voice of Twilight Sparkle?
Hm.
Not really hearing it.
Dotty maybe, but not Joyce.
Keulen
I can definitely imagine Dorothy sounding like Twilight Sparkle, especially when she’s talking about studying or organizing stuff. I have tended to imagine Sal sounding like Applejack at times. Not sure which pony Joyce might sound like yet.
the R in TERF stands for “Radical.” meanwhile the F stands for “Fuckwad”

And the T and E?
Deanatay
“Transsexual-Excluding”, IIRC
Mephron
Transgender Exclusionist.
Also sometimes Transgender Eliminationist.
“Transsexual” isn’t used anymore.
Morleuca
personally I prefer “Feminism Appropriating Radical Transphobes” it makes me giggle and gives them apoplexic fits, because how dare I act childishly at them when they are trying to deny my existence.
I think using older slang is a Becky quirk or maybe a symptom of the homeschooling. Not sure either girl had the traditional high school experielnce to learn updated terminology which would be at least 59% more swearing anyway.
Rabid Rabbit
Also of Dorothy’s, who’s trying to bring “jag” back.
Maybe so, less opportunities to tease her instead. I also think it’s probably since Joyce is being so fragile about it. Doesn’t make it not mean, obviously, but she is being comically stubborn about it.
I think Joyce is being stubborn without being fragile about it, actually. She looks angry, but not upset, which makes it an excellent teasing target that doesn’t hurt her, per se.
There are un-rad ways of saying more or less anything.
Here in Sweden, for example, there is a term for making out called “slaska mule”. This more or less means “slobbering the mule”. Mule here being the face of a horse or cow.
Thank you for sharing the blessing of this knowledge, and for imparting upon me increased abilities to horrify my enemies, friends, acquantances, and to chase off women in bars.
I doubt her parents ever allowed her to have anything other then the more “Normal” looking hair style she had when she first appeared in the comic, and she has just recently had the freedom to start testing out hair styles. my guess is that she went through about three other hair styles during the break, one of them probably being a Afro or Corn Rows (if its spelled like that, never had to type it out before). She probably hasnt perfected hair styling yet.

Becky’s hair really is growing astonishingly fast.

I haven’t had a haircut since January, and my hair has only grown 6 inches or so.

She went from chin length to waist length over winter break. How is that not freakishly fast to anyone?
Fuzzy
Where are you getting waist length from?
BBCC
More like chin to shoulder.

Also, it’s grown since mid October, not just over winter break.

She hasn’t made out with Dina yet today.
Slartibeast Button, BIA
She is cheating on Becky with Riley From The Future.
Slartibeast Button, BIA
Argh!
She is cheating on Dina with Riley From The Future.
Doctor_Who
Can they both be cheating on each other with different Rileys from branching alternate futures?
Slartibeast Button, BIA
Yes. Time Cop Riley knows that breaking up Dina and Becky is essential to preventing The Great Disaster.

Anyone who’d be foolish enough to cheat on Dina is honestly cheating themself…

Oh, come on her vision isn’t that bad.

I have this suspicion Walky will also be on his way to the optometrist.
Reltzik
Tagging along, pestering Joyce the whole way.
Khyrin
The optometrist forcibly seats him, and we discover that Walky is farsighted enough to warrant reading glasses.

Wanda bet on it?

I imagine Joyce is the kind of person whose voice gets really high when she gets mad.

And yes, Angry Joyce would be full-on Bubbles-shrill.

Did tara also do Raven tho? Lol

Bubbles, Raven, Twilight Sparkle, Ben Tennyson… her list of roles is long and varied.

So all we need are Tara Strong, Frank Welker, and Michael Winslow for our audio department?

If Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy had a foal maybe would grow up to be Joyce?
Also would the DOA pony movie have musical numbers? I would definitely be there for that.
Proto_Eevee
I wonder who Willis would have on his ideal cast list for like a cartoon of this
Bagge
Maybe it’s just you who are rad, Becky?
Doctor_Who
Do any youngsters these days use words like “rad”?
I mean, I do, but I’m going on two decades older than these kids and was raised by ninja turtles and time travelers from San Dimas.

Sometimes, if only to free it from TERF tyranny.

Only if Becky doesn’t use enough conditioner.

Becky, you have to accept the compliment, because the alternative implies Joyce can *lie convincingly*

Has Becky tried parting her hair differently?
Switchchris
I doubt her parents ever allowed her to have anything other then the more “Normal” looking hair style she had when she first appeared in the comic, and she has just recently had the freedom to start testing out hair styles. my guess is that she went through about three other hair styles during the break, one of them probably being a Afro or Corn Rows (if its spelled like that, never had to type it out before). She probably hasnt perfected hair styling yet.
Sirksome
Dictating how she keeps her hair sounds exactly like the kind of creepy and controlling thing Becky’s dad would’ve done too!
