Closely followed by the espressosaurus...

Corpsewitch and her outfit... She likes it? Some robots wear clothing to fit in better, or avoid problems because their chassis are close enough to human looking to cause trouble if they ran around naked. But plenty of other humanoid chassis robots skip the clothes with no problems. Also, everyone's talking about Faye's hair.. but she's also got new glasses in panel 5 and 6. I like them better than the rectangle frames, I think it makes her face look a bit softer. She's also seemed to have developed affection and concern for the bots in her charge. Even if sometimes that affection is expressed by drawing dicks on their heads. At least it's not welding on a new dong-i-corn...

EDIT: Now that I'm thinking about it, I think it says more about Jeph than anything else that he seems incapable of having his female characters remain long-haired for long, or free of any tattoos and piercings. Emily's hair went kaput, Claire's suddenly all pierced up and "punky", shit, it's not even just the females; Clinton's got ink and a buzzed 'do now. Tai's gone from short-haired and slightly boyish to somehow buxom with that same kind of hairstyle, and now the only one really left is Marigold. Hopefully Emily or Dora keep their longer hair for at least a little while before they likewise get decimated.
Then again, maybe this is an issue of perspective; none of my friends have multitudes of tattoos, undercut hair, gauges or other piercings. A small/medium tattoo here or there, simple lobe piercing on a couple, that sort of thing. Maybe this is normal elsewhere, but it just seems strange to me.

1. People who are similar to each other in tastes and styles tend to hang out together.
2. People tend to be influenced by their friends.
3. People in their twenties are especially susceptible to the above two.
4. People in their twenties are especially likely to change, add, subtract, cut, grow, pierce, ink more frequently.

"What it says about Jeph ..." Well, absent credentials in brain-squeezin', I'd guess it says he finds long, loose hairstyles a pain to draw. I find them so, anyway.
And my female friends, for the most part (and representing a wide range of adult ages) find it impractical. They're either having it cut short (and occasionally donating it) or tying it back or otherwise preventing it from flopping about.
Their hair gets in their hair, is what I'm sayin'.

Not sure what the latter two of your points say about my friends and I, since none of us is under twenty two or over twenty six. We're all smack bang in the mids, so to speak. I guess we're just boring by modern standards.
