“But how will I possibly be able to convince myself that any of the things I enjoy are actually real if I don’t first convince myself that I don’t actually enjoy them and thus my experiencing them is the universe punishing me rather than my getting things I actually want, which would be impossible?”
Timeline wise, no idea (especially with how arcs can pop up and submerge) – but situation-wise, I almost guarantee it’ll be once Ruth learns about how Billie’s been acting at her new dorm.
Professor Rees shows up at class like, “Where the…hell is everybody?”
He sends out an email and after the tenth “You cancelled class” response, he starts to wonder if he did, in fact, cancel class.
“Trap sprung! Now you have to be the worst thing, haaaaapy!”
Also, I am continually impressed by the colors that Willis chooses, especially for outfits. Dunno how referenced they are or aren’t, but they’re good, visually-pleasing choices for the characters even if they’re just directly copied from reference. I love that gray and pale yellow top!
I feel like everyone has a colour pallet (along with a selection of clothing types). Yellow looks really nice on Billie, and I like this top as well. Its somewhat similar to the one she’s wearing when she and Ruth first say I love you, posted above (thank you BBCC)
I briefly considered writing Daisy fanfiction tonight, because I find minor character fanfiction to be fun, but it turned to smut almost instantly as I was brainstorming so.
Any suggestions for minor characters who aren’t such horndogs?
I relate very much to this problem, because it’s hard to write my main ship here without it quickly turning into smut (and I don’t post smut).
Hmm. How about Jacob? Or if he’s not considered a minor character because he’s on the cast page, what about Tony? Or maybe Agatha? She’s a little ray of sunshine who needs more attention (and I convinced her middle name is Cutie Pie).
Of course she does! I’m just saying if we’re looking for a character whose exploits don’t easily lend themselves to smut, Roz is probably not what they’re looking for. 😉
Daisy is going through a long day spell and is a confirmed lesbian. How about a massage from a gay man? Relieve stress without actually doing anything about the stressors.?
“Now that I’ve put my clothes on, you can take them off! … Come on, lazybutt. I didn’t go to all the bother of getting dressed just to stay clothed. Get me naked already.”

nice big soft pillows
great for
suffocatingsmotheringYou know those two words mean the same thing, right?
Not quite. To smother is a specific manner to suffocate someone. To strangle someone it another.
So technically, Ruth could strangle Billie and then suffocate at her leisure.
Don’t suggest it to her right now.
Pillows we can only dream of being smothered by, because Ruth will break our femurs if we do more than dream. 😛
If we only do it in our dreams she only breaks our dream femurs.
My wife knows that if the time ever comes when she needs to put me down, that’s how I want to go.
Are we talking about pillows on the bed on the ones on Billie?
Yes.
That’s what I thought
Billie walked across campus in her pajamas but brought a change of clothes?
Unless she still had some clothes stashed at Ruth’s, I guess?
I assumed she had stuff at Ruth’s, yeah.
I assumed she was putting on Ruth’s.
There’s no way Ruth’s clothes would fit her that well.
“But how will I possibly be able to convince myself that any of the things I enjoy are actually real if I don’t first convince myself that I don’t actually enjoy them and thus my experiencing them is the universe punishing me rather than my getting things I actually want, which would be impossible?”
Huh. Have we seen Billie and Ruth drop the L-word before?
They have indeed! Ruth here:http://www.dumbingofage.com/2017/comic/book-7/03-the-thing-i-was-before/foster/
Billie here:http://www.dumbingofage.com/2017/comic/book-7/03-the-thing-i-was-before/dynamite/
Me, when wordpress tells me I’m posting too quickly and to slow down: https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/911544
wordpress dont know shit
Yes, a bit offhandedly, but certainly.
And Joyce did the shipping.

Arguable, the “Lesbian” word would be harder (as in a bisexual lesbian relationship, of course).
Awww, for once things are sweet!
So, place your bets, how fast does this go tits up?
Depends on when Ruth turns onto her back.
Depends on your meaning of “tits up.”
Basically equivalent of ‘belly up’ or whatever phrase they use in your country for ‘dead’.
I mean, I got the general sense of it, but there’s a lot of room for different interpretations that are more fun.
Indeed there are. I just felt the need to clarify in case it was a real question.
Timeline wise, no idea (especially with how arcs can pop up and submerge) – but situation-wise, I almost guarantee it’ll be once Ruth learns about how Billie’s been acting at her new dorm.
Valentine’s Day is coming up (in our world) so I definitely am wary.
Only in a Willis comic would we be worrying about Valentine’s Day in December.
The Master has us well trained.
The buffer is middle of March now, so whatever Willis had planned has already been executed.
Well, Ruth did in the last panel.
Professor Rees shows up at class like, “Where the…hell is everybody?”
He sends out an email and after the tenth “You cancelled class” response, he starts to wonder if he did, in fact, cancel class.
Turns out Rees was Mike’s target all along.
This is canon until proven otherwise.
That would be hilarious.
The joker is wild.
man these two are cute when Billie isn’t regressing in the twilight zone that is that other residence hall
Consider, if you will, a bunch of total dorks…
I choose to hear that in Rod Serlings voice.
Please be careful using humor, I laughed and almost spilt coffee!
Dotted lines for the taking, Ruth!
Adult Family Circus is much more entertaining than I thought.
Billie: “Who squeezed my bottom?”
Ruth: “NotMe!”
“Trap sprung! Now you have to be the worst thing, haaaaapy!”
Also, I am continually impressed by the colors that Willis chooses, especially for outfits. Dunno how referenced they are or aren’t, but they’re good, visually-pleasing choices for the characters even if they’re just directly copied from reference. I love that gray and pale yellow top!

Yeah, everyone has favourite colours/types of clothes. A few times we get a little deviation, but yeah.

Agatha is good and deserves more love, yes yes
Agatha? Meredith?
Or would they be too minor? Roz? Sierra?
Roz? not a horndog? 😛
Okay, fair, but we are talking relative to Daisy here >.>
Fair. Though I wouldn’t suggest her as a character whose exploits wouldn’t devolve into smut.
Roz is also an active feminist and advocate for the LGBTQ community, there’s tons of fun things to write about for her.
Of course she does! I’m just saying if we’re looking for a character whose exploits don’t easily lend themselves to smut, Roz is probably not what they’re looking for. 😉
From what I remember about Daisy, it turning to smut is you channeling her properly. She was Sprite, in that she obeys her thirst.
Hmm, maybe Asma?
Daisy is going through a long day spell and is a confirmed lesbian. How about a massage from a gay man? Relieve stress without actually doing anything about the stressors.?
Dry spell, damn you Autocorrect!
“Now that I’ve put my clothes on, you can take them off! … Come on, lazybutt. I didn’t go to all the bother of getting dressed just to stay clothed. Get me naked already.”
That’s a good time, right there.
Shamelessly clothing a female only invites others to unclothe them! Its the very depth of perversion.
I’m sure Faz would concur.
But Faz would have charts.
The X axis is linear and labeled “nakedness”, the Y axis is logarithmic and labeled “hotness”, the line starts in the middle of the Y axis and rapidly climbs as it advances right.
I wonder how many people in the comments recognize that media reference? Given that it happened in two series, there might be some confusion.
AFAIK, it’s Ferengi morals.
Do it Ruth. Snuggle up into Billie’s soft curves and be safe and warm forever.
Don’t resist her, Ruth. Embrace her.
These two jerks can sometimes soften each other in more ways than others.
AAAAAALPHA BOOOOONGO!!!
I am enjoying this ship probably too much, which kinda makes me worried about what Willis might do with them next.
The dread Valentine’s Day strip is coming . . .
And Willis said on Twitter he was writing an argument for them in this storyline.
Oh god please don’t let them break up..
It’s over Ruth, you can’t fight those curves
*cough* Slipshine Christmas Ruth and Billie moment using candy canes and mistletoe excuse? *cough*
It’s still the middle of October in-comic.
aaaany of it
But those curves can obviously fight/kill you
I believe they’re about to solve a problem without punching.
There might be some “ginger snaps” involved.
I really love how Ruth loves to be a curmudgeon. It really is a strangely adorable personality trait!
What, she only has one class in the day? I felt lucky when I had less than 4.
