And I'm not quite sure what just happened.
This strange new person has an elbow tattoo like Tai's, but if this is Tai she has a VERY new look.

That's what I thought too, but aside from the elbow tattoo and short stature there's not that much else in common.

Thought this as well, but upon viewing various previous versions, most recently 3357 and 3328, I can find only 3 major differences. The lack of glasses, the hair (which I suspect was Jeph trying something new stylistically), and in the final panel her head shape is slightly rounder than usual.
BenRG:
Firstly, this is the first occasion that I've seen in the strip where Jeph has chosen to use one of the characters to act as a mouthpiece to apologise to the audience for one of his characters and try to explain why he or she isn't so bad.
Secondly... Since when is Tai buff? Since when has Tai been completely redesigned to the point where she is unrecognisable if it weren't for her elbow tattoo? This isn't art evolution, this is radically changing how the character looks! Um... I'd also like to know why she was passed out on the counter until she reacted to Elliott's words but something tells me that I don't want to hear how crazy a job in a library can get some days. I'm thinking that the body-building thing was some kind of response on her part to Dora telling her that Faye looked hot now she was more muscular but still the head has been totally redesigned!
That aside, I'm wondering if this is some kind of ritual the body-proud have about which I am unaware. Given Dora's reaction, I'm pretty sure that it happens frequently.
Storel:
The hair reminds me of Becky from Dumbing of Age. The rest of her... if I hadn't noticed the elbow tattoo, I would have had no idea who this was.
ChaoSera:
Same for me, until I saw the tattoo I thought this was a random customer. Glad I'm not the only one.
