well, the actual Japanese pronunciation is t-soon-deh-reh (although the quick t at the beginning is almost indistinguishable from just “soon” to the untrained ear)

I’m pretty sure nobody Japanese pronounces it sun-dar. Japanese is a phonetic language.

Tsundere! Tsundere! Tsundere-catty hoe!

Yeah, absolutely no Japanese people say it to rhyme with “thunder” because in Japanese, it’s always spelled つんでれ which can only be pronounced /tsoo/ /n/ /de/ /reh/. I still thought your joke was cute, but don’t try to speak for cultures you don’t belong to/languages you don’t speak.
“I don’t know if I want to fuck you or kick your ass but either way your getting a spanking!”
Barf Ninjason
I assume that’s Ruth getting the spanking in that scenario. Hmm. Must ponder the philosophical implications of this for a while. I shall be in my bunk should you need me.
My parents have been divorced for nearly 30 years, yet still if you mention connect-the-dots around my mother she will start ranting about the night my dad came to bed with a marker. Naturally, she had asked why he had a marker and he said “with all those dots, there’s got to be a picture in there somewhere.”
It pissed her off enough that even now she gets enraged about it and will rant for an hour about how childish my dad is.
She also gripes about him telling her she was “just a dozen freckles shy of a really good tan.”
And now I’m really hoping that every time I see Ruth I don’t get reminded of my mother.

When I read Annie’s comment, my first thought was, “Gee, I wish I’d come up with those.” I’d like to encounter a redhead who would think lines like that were just hilarious, and who was attracted to funny guys.
Ok, good pun and all, but the phrase “The time has come” just makes me want to complete it with “the Walrus said”, but I really don’t want walruses involved in this…
You know, if you don’t cancel after the first month, it’s only $9 a month instead of 25. The other comics are worth it, and Willis doesn’t seem to be stopping with these.
Agreed. This looks like it’s going to be adorable.
Of course, there’s always the possibility that Willis is about to turn it around and make it sad, but I’m hoping for adorable sexy times for Ruth and Billie. Gods know, they deserve a little adorable.
I kind of wish they’d sell non-subscription items. I really liked Mr. Willis’s preview, but getting Netflix for its Louis C.K. stuff when you could have just bought the DVD.

You’re fooling nobody with that tough act anymore, Ruthie… *awww*
Now, close your mouth and open your lips… ;P

Approved for all ages 😉

I was trying to be as naughty as I could without tripping any censors. 😛
Also, I really wanna see more in the comic of shy!Ruthie. Adorkable. <3

If I ever have to explain the term “tsundere” to someone, I’m showing them this strip.
Tunaro
It’s not a threat. It’s foreplay!
Plasma Mongoose
She even has tsundere-thighs. ^_^
Cephalo the Pod
I was just sitting here for a few seconds going *do Tsunderes need to have a specific type of thighs?*, then I got it and now I hate you.
Plasma Mongoose
It’s all about the pronunciation, some Japanese pronounce it soon-dur-re, while others say sun-dar(rhymes with thunder)
Disloyal Subject
And to think all this time I was pronouncing it soon-there.
Reader’s Vocabulary strikes again.
Peregrine
Huh… I’d always pronounced it t’sun-der-ay which sounds ridiculous now that I think about it.
artemi
If it helps any, that’s how I pronounce it. We’ll sound ridiculous together!
Paradox
I always pronounced it “tsoon-dare”.
Rideps1
I pronounce it “Fen-Fen.”
Hellhound
Well it IS more Tsundere then “Valzy”
OnyxIdol
I always pronounced it tsundere.

No, that’s wrong!

Tsundere! DA NA NA NA NAAA NA NA NAAA NA
JacHunter
I see what you did there and I love you for it.

If anyone asks me to explain tsundere to them I will slam a book in their face and tell them to piss off and then send them a flirty text.

“I-I’m just explaining anime terminology to you because I want you to be less embarrassingly ignorant. It’s not because I like you or anything.”
Tunaro
I’m reading this, and I can’t not hear Rie Kugimiya saying that.
Paradox
Is it at all possible I’m reading it in the same voice, yet have no idea what she even sounds like?
Tenn
And now I’m imagining a tsundere Alphonse Elric.
He’s annoying as hell.

“Maybe next time I’ll get your face with something else that slams shut & opens wide, just so much softer.”
And I am unashamed of conjuring that statement. Hell, I’d love it if it caught on & I heard it even in passing.
caramelundqueer
Awwwww!
liahansen
She has no idea how much she just turned Billie on does she
Mr. Random
No laughing here. Also, I find it’s best to NOT alert the police to where the body is, Ruth.
Disloyal Subject
She doesn’t have to; they’d find it eventually. Probably.
Leorale
They’ll try to bury her, but they’ll only find her skull, the palms of her hands, and the soles of her feet.
(it’s a biblical reference to Jezebel getting eaten by wild dogs, I am not a serial killer.)
John
I am sad that you don’t have a Mary grav for this comment.
Jerden
That’s what they all say!
Yotomoe
And then Ruth’s story will be even more tragic.

that reminds me of that one Adam’s family movie.

Ruth’s a sweetheart in her own weird-ass way.

If I tried that my girlfriend would kill me. But I’d probably die laughing. Much like Billie here will.

AND SO IT BEGINS

THE TIME HAS CUM!!

Ok, good pun and all, but the phrase “The time has come” just makes me want to complete it with “the Walrus said”, but I really don’t want walruses involved in this…

Yeah, one Billie in a bed is enough.
Thank you, thank you, I’ll…just…show myself out

Slipshine will be getting more of my money, I see.

I honestly have mixed opinions about that…
pumacatrun2
I have fully optimistic opinions about that.

Mine are mixed, too. It’s a mixture of giggly optimism and rampaging horniness, tho, so it’s OK.

I wouldn’t have guessed that Ruth was the babydoll type.

Hard to bring that out of someone with as much of a rough exterior personality as her.

She isn’t — she’s doing this for Billie.
