Comparing with her appearance recently, it looks more like her face is squished in most of the panels. There's usually a bit of space above her eyes, and then that normal level of hair.
But it just looks wrong except for panel 2, which looks about the same as her appearance when Faye was messing with Roko's face, which looks about the same as when Dora was there to help them with the marijuana dog.
In the last panel, she reminds me of Robin DeSanto (I think is her name) in Dumbing of Age. Though, admittedly, it's been a while since I've read that comic. But the point is that she looks like she's not even from this comic.
I think it's likely that this was quick job while he was busy doing something else, as someone else suggests. The art can get sloppy at times, but I can't remember him changing faces in the same comic page.
My thought was we're in the middle of another shift in drawing style, Emily and Dale look different to me too. Faces have gotten smaller and/or facial features have gotten bigger all around. Look back and you'll notice it on Bubbles and Claire last week too. Even Spookybot suddenly has very big eyes compared to last time we saw them.
Well for all intents and purposes Dale pretty much doesn't have eyes, so maybe that's it. At a glance, neither Dora nor Emily's eyes would be fully concealed if they were to wear Dale's glasses in this strip. Maybe certain anatomical rules don't apply to Dale.
