I Believe We've Had That Discussion Already
TheEvilDog:
I'm calling it now. Shenanigans will happen at the party! Awkwardness and recriminations aplenty! And someone will be upset!

It does when it's acting as an adjective for "day". At least, that's what I always believed and teach - when a compound noun made up of an adjective and a noun becomes itself an adjective, you hyphenate. That way you avoid the fine tooth-comb issue.
Vurogj:
So is it just the art, or does Marbear's stance change significantly as she walks past the pair? She's kinda slouched in the first panel, but suddenly her spine appears concave in #2. Or am I falling into overanalysis mode?
Warning - while you were typing a new reply about hyphens has been posted. You may wish to add a hyphen of your own to be topical.
*sigh* Fine, over-analysis.
Schmorgluck:
She already stated that she hates the idea because of her despising the Beautiful All Along trope (the TVTrope page conveniently provides the link to the aforelinked comic), but seriously, Marigold could use some kind of makeover. If it's not aimed at mainstream "beauty", and involves clothes she'd actually enjoy wearing (which goes a long way for self-confidence – and I'd suggest it keeps some nerdy accessory or t-shirt, because it's part of her core personality), she's got the potential to be her own kind of cute.
