   I think this brings up a much bigger question: Why are there no DOA/SP! paper dolls? And a super special Batman paperdoll with all his ridiculous only-for-toy-purposes gadgets?

     While going through some reeeally old stuff during our move, I found a Sal paper doll that dated from my high school years. It’s funny, because it includes all these tiny shirts and a baseball cap that’s the size of Texas. Oh, proportions.

   I’d buy it, but the thought of Joyce in anything but her SEMME outfit seems so alien (lower-case “a”) to me!

   (just make sure she has her Trademark triangle grin)

     Do you really think I’d leave off the grin?

     DoA Joyce would be afraid to leave her room with a skirt that short. Also, believe she’s going to Hell.

   Or, the pink shortsleeve and vest combo would look good with a navy blue skirt. SKIRT, SKIRT, SKIRT, SKIRT!

   What about that dress from her date? Or are you saving that for a variant?

   I also third (or whatever number this winds up being) for the date dress. That was phenomenal.

   While date dress is a close second for me, I would have to go with SEMME attire.

    I’d prefer SEMME attire, personally. Even though I first found these comics through DoA, I’m a huge fan of that version of the universe.

    I say white blouse, orange and pink sweater vest because it’s the first outfit I think of when I imagine Joyce, but the teal shirt with the argyle sweater vest is my favorite. For the record.

      I’m glad someone else liked the teal/argyle. I really like it, but my wife is all ARGLEBARGLE about that one.

    I’m skeptical. Current poll leaders (at 1,199 votes) are:
    – the outfit she’s wearing in the republished image
    – the outfit in the today’s comic (full disclosure: my choice!)
    which accounts for over 50%.

      I kind of expected those to be the most popular anyway. The orange-and-blue was popular before it was even used in the comic. If painting stripes on the statues isn’t cost effective, I’ll probably end up going that route.

        I feel sort of bad that now I’m hoping stripes won’t be cost-effective.

        Which is all well and good, I suppose. My point (which I didn’t really get across clearly) was that the poll slants to the uninformed, myself included. I like those two top picks, but if there was any deeper significance to the different outfits, I’d never have known before voting.

    ‘Nother vote for the yellow dress!

    If she knew she were going to have a figurine made of her, she’d probably dress up for the occasion … it’d also make it waaaay cuter when sending her on “dates” with the Ninja Turtles and Transformers figurines.

      Sorry, but ANY figure of Joyce will inspire PSL, regardless of what she’s wearing. She could be wearing NOTHING and still inspire PSL!

      Er, wait…

    I picked the orange blouse & brown vestcoat because it’s closest to the SEMME outfit, but I would SO buy the dress from the date. That’s the dress she was wearing in my favorite print.

    I might even buy two!
