    SHUT YOUR PIEHOLE RUTH, OF COURSE THEY WERE

    1. AckAckAck

      Piehole…. giggity!

    2. Blob Marley

      In the words of the immortal Pam (from Archer)

      “Maybe you can shut your dick-holster.”

  2. Mike

    Hah. I like Ruth’s style.

    1. Ivan

      I think her mood suddenly changed due to an anal prolapse. **It could happen!** There’s even some pretty sicko sites about it. (Not that I would EVER been seen looking at one of them!!)

  3. NCP19

    Ah, so she CAN be nice, as long as your name isn’t Jennifer Billingsworth.

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      She’s nicer to girls with smaller chests.

      1. joshlamont

        That’s… that’s *true*…

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          Both me and my grav(Chizuru) notice these sorts of things.

        2. AckAckAck

          I notice ass…. and I just realize the Willis is more of a breast man than an ass man…..

        3. Plasma Mongoose

          Willis only notices butts due to catching Jeph’s Butt Disease.

        4. AsimovSideburns

          But… I thought Jeph caught the Butts Disease from Willis? So confused.

          BUTTS DISEASE MUST BE A GOVERNMENT CONSPIRACY.

        5. Plasma Mongoose

          Government? naaaah, more like the work of a rogue mad scientist.

        6. Stevie Windup

          They caught it from each other.

        7. lightsabermario

          Scandalous!

      2. Aizat

        So, chest envy?

        1. Yotomoe

          No. She just realizes that the small chests will soon overcome and wants to get on their good side.

        2. Plasma Mongoose

          Ruth has learnt that small chests are a rarity, a status symbol if you will.

        3. Yotomoe

          As well as far better suited for combat.

        4. Aizat

          But big ones are good for interrogation and other uses.

      3. acoraz

        I mean, she was nice to Joyce, who isn’t exactly unendowed.

    2. agentksilver

      She’s mocking Agatha for being tall, Mary for smelling, and Billie for her usual reasons…

  4. Plasma Mongoose

    No, Billie is crying cos no one will eat hers.

    1. NCP19

      Delicious, delicious pie.

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        You can almost smell that creamy tuna already. 😀

        1. ASmellyOgre

          You know, I never thought to make pie with seafood before. Though were I to make a seafood pie, I think I’m more feeling a shellfish/sweet corn combo than something savory like that tuna pie.

        2. Plasma Mongoose

          If you can make fish cakes out of tuna and potato, then it’s not too hard to imagine fish pies.

        3. Jererry

          How about some Paella? It sounds like pie and is full of fishy things.

      2. Aizat

        Mmmmmm…..pie.

      3. Herohatch

        Billie needs a pie-eating contest.

        1. AckAckAck

          Regional or national?

      4. ArkhamTexan

        No one’s offering strudel in exchange for her pie… Sad times.

        ……..

        ::leans back with a mic:: IF YA SMELLLLLLLLLLL….!

    2. Ragnal

      You people and your perverse sexual lust over Billie.

      1. Aizat

        Well, she is kinda like the Ms. Fanservice of this webcomic.

        1. Count Dracula

          I’ll believe that when I see some Tasteful Sideboob from her. Until then, Sal holds the position relatively uncontested.

        2. pan_dim_onium

          Idk. We have seen Walkie’s penis.

        3. Sailor_Arashi

          Walky is Mr. Fanservice, not Ms. Fanservice.

        4. Josh

          Wait… what?

        5. Drunken Nordmann

          In It’s Walky, if I remember correctly.

        6. lightsabermario

          Brings a whole new meaning to “It’s Walky!”

        7. newllend

          No that would be sales when you think k about it

  5. Wonder Wig

    They weren’t out of pie …. it just hit her in the eye ….. that’s amore.

    1. Aizat

      Is it Coconut Cream Pie?

      1. Yotomoe

        Banana Cucumber perhaps?

        1. Aizat

          Cucumber pie? Is that even exist?

        2. Josh

          http://bit.ly/VUXp7X

        3. Plasma Mongoose

          Now that’s what I call convenient. 😀

  6. Robbie C

    OMFG, I thought the BilliexRuth pairing was just a joke…

    I think there might actually be something here.

    1. Robbie C

      Or this is perfectly platonic and I’m just a jerk.

    2. Undrave

      Ruth is TOTALLY hot for Billie.

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        Replace hot for tsundere.

        1. Zababcd

          Not sure if you mean ‘replace the word hot with the word tsundere’ or ‘replace the phrase ‘hot for Billie’ with the phrase ‘hot for tsundere’. Either one works fairly well.

        2. Zababcd

          Except that I’m missing a closing ‘.

        3. lightsabermario

          Ruth is TOTALLY tsundere for tsundere.

  7. Sir Robin

    Now make out

    1. Aizat

      Not now. Not while someone is watching.

  8. bunivasal

    Next, pull her hair and run away.

  9. Davriel

    I like Ruth better in panel 3. Feels more…natural.

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      Does that also apply to your Sal grav?

      1. Davriel

        Especially so!

  10. Yotomoe

    Stop acting like that’s not a legitimate reason to cry, Ruth.

  11. emeraldbeacon

    Nah, Ruth is still being a b****. You see, we can establish where the entrance/exit is, from where Billie is coming from (since we know she was just talking to Joe outside). The first person she talks to she suggests an umbrella to… but they’re just coming in. Why suggest it, if it weren’t either sarcasm or teasing? The second girl was heading out, making Ruth’s suggestion the entirely unsubtle commentary, “you really need to take a shower, hippie”.

    Also, Billie x Ruth OTP 4eva

    1. David

      Calling Mary a hippie is perhaps her worst nightmare.

    2. Dr. Bolty

      Hmn. My own dorm at IU had stairs to entrances/exits on both sides in addition to the elevator, and at any rate the entrance would be relative to their dorm’s position in the hall.

  12. Aizat

    Yeah, about that umbrella thing. It could be just me but whenever I bring an umbrella, even though it was cloudy, it never rains.

    1. Yotomoe

      Yeah, but better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

      1. HEYOUGUYZ!

        situations /objects in/for which the above platitude does or does not apply, GO:

        1) shark cage

        2) shark repellent

        3) shark attractant?

        1. Dice

          4) a pissed-off shark

        2. AsimovSideburns

          5) Herpes.

        3. Josh

          6) Gary Oak

        4. Zababcd

          7) Unicorn blood

    2. AckAckAck

      There’s always a mini umbrella in my bag everytime I go out. So I can’t prove this theory is true or not.

      1. Tom T.

        I thought you were just glad to see me!

    3. agentksilver

      I interpreted it as an extremely subtle “how’s the weather up there?”

  13. Doctor_Who

    This actually kinda makes me think of them as friends. I mean, I’m usually unfailingly polite to people I know casually or not at all. With my friends I’m not afraid to get their attention by saying “Hey, jackass!”

    1. Yotomoe

      Wassup, Dick-butt.

      1. Aizat

        Hey, Piss-brain.

        1. ASmellyOgre

          Good evening, penis-wrinkle!

        2. Plasma Mongoose

          Good night, scrotum-breath. 😛

        3. Aizat

          Goodbye, shit-for-brains.

        4. AckAckAck

          See ya, skidmarks!

        5. Aizat

          Adios, ass-breath.

        6. Plasma Mongoose

          Arrivederci you walking VD factory. 😛

        7. Aizat

          Sayonara, you hairless son of a goat.

        8. Plasma Mongoose

          Do svidaniya, you festering cum-bucket. 😛

        9. Aizat

          Au revoir, you dried up piece of turd.

        10. Snograt

          Later, masturbator.

        11. Stevie Windup

          Smell ya later, turdburglar!

        12. Andiemus

          See you soon, asshat.

        13. Aizat

          Top of the morning, you regurgitated waste of space.

        14. Tylertlat

          We will meet again, friend whom I appreciate the least.

  14. Kernanator

    Such favoritism from Ruth towards Billie.

  15. Count Dracula

    What is Ruth even doing out there? Just standing in the middle of the hall giving advice to random passers-by? Because…that actually sounds like it could be fun.

  16. Uniqueantique

    I rather think Emerald is right, Ruth is still being Ruth. Incoming needs an umbrella? Outgoing needs a shower?
    A bit confusing though re. Billie. Last encounter, she first tripped Billie onto her head, then held the elevator and physically removed people to make room for Billie.
    This encounter she snarks her when Billie is obviously not needing that. So what the heck is she doing?

    1. agentksilver

      Asking her what’s wrong while covering up her kindness with insults?

  17. AY

    ruth is like a little kid with a crush, being nasty like that… i haven’t shipped anything this hard in years

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      So Ruth has been ‘dipping Billie’s pigtails in the inkwells’ huh?

  18. LiC

    Billie: “Yes… Yes, they were.”

    Cut to Ruth’s lower lip quivering and the pair of them throw theirs arms around each other as they both sob uncontrollably.

    1. George

      Best. Twist. Ever.

      1. Stevie Windup

        If only. If only.

  19. vlademir1

    Damn is Ruth really flying the tsundere flag here…

  20. Reb

    Yeah, I still see this as Ruth being a bully. Sure, there’s more to her character, but plenty of people are nice to most people and just completely terrible to their designated victim.

    To the people saying that this is her trying to be friends, I get what you’re saying, I think. My friends and I are dicks to each other almost all the time. We bond that way. But if someone I hadn’t known for more than a week (I think?) saw me crying and greeted me like that, that would not be considered friendly banter. At all. Just plain old mean spirited attacking someone who has been shit on already because you want to hurt them.

    …That said, I’m still shipping it.

    1. TPman

      I kind of get the impression that Ruth just sucks at this whole friendship thing. (Obligatory pony joke]

    2. AckAckAck

      Agreed. Tbh some stuff about “acting all tsundere” are not the right things to do in real life.

      I know this is a fiction, but I think Willis want to approach the story more on the realistic side than the fantastic side this time.

      1. Andiemus

        I’m waiting to let her get more limelight than she’s gotten before calling t unrealistic. Some nasty tsunderes in media have been written to have VERY good justification for their nastiness (see: Evangelion) and I’d wait to let Ruth’s backstory come front and center.

  21. james

    Angery sex in 5…..4….3…………..

  22. name

    She isn’t being nice at all you guys, she is still a jerk. Telling somone who is going inside and who will likely stay there all night to take an umbrella is a jerk move, because this is college and she might not have anything to do. Telling someone who is about to go out and cares about hygiene that the showers are now clean is also a dick move, with the goal of making them worry about smelling like butt. She is just being mean in smart, subtle ways. Not everyone is gonna get hurt if some jerk is obviously just trying to make you mad. Making you dickishness seem like advice can do more then calling someone an ugly hippy.

    1. AckAckAck

      Yep, agreed.

    2. Johnny

      I disagree based solely on her facial expressions.

  23. Link

    Damn right they were out of pie. They said you ate it all, Ruth.

  24. Pinja

    I wonder if Willis put up the poll because everyone in it will be having sex simultaneously?

    …

    Except for Mike/My mum obviously

    Anyway, yes, I ship it, though I hope Billie really isn’t crying 🙁

    1. John

      Why’s that obvious? Does your mom not have a nickel?

      1. AsimovSideburns

        No, it’s Mike who has the nickel. Which he gives to your mom. And then she has sex with him.

        1. John

          You sure? I’d assumed that it was the moms that had to pay Mike for the privilege, and I haven’t seen anything that definitely contradicts that assumption.

    2. agentksilver

      You ship Mike/your mom?

      1. Pinja

        I ship Mike/Cancer, which is ironic because he is the cancer of DoA

      2. Valdrax

        That’s what I thought too.

  25. Ryorin

    Tsun, tsun, tsundere, gently down the stream~

  26. E.C.

    There are many different kinds of friendship, and there are many different needs…

    1. Jason

      That is WAY awesome.

  28. Jimmy

    Is this what they call “tough love”?

  29. Pinja

    I “ship” Billie and Ruth as many other people do and it’s being at least foreshadowed as something that could happen.

    But… why? Ruth has been horribly mean to Billie who really doesn’t deserve how she’s been treated. Even when she seemingly does something nice like when she came over with beers it was more about her needing company than wanting to do something nice.

    I seems a little perverse I see mutual antagonism and abuse and think “OMG, WUV!”

    1. begbert2

      It’s because calm, resolved love is either boring or can’t be shown on daytime TV. So we’re left with nothing to grow up on but couples that can’t quite get along, and thus still get to have snappy, lively, non-snuggle-wuggle-lumpkin dialogue with each other. Until suddenly Foe-Yay is suddenly plausible and Ben and Gwen’s preteen sniping is incestual childhood lust. (Whoops.)

      Daytime television is ruining our ability to have relationships. Or at least that’s my preferred excuse.

      1. mrelegos

        I never understood Ben/Gwen shipping. Leaving aside the fact that they’re cousins, they’re 10 years old. Of course they’re gonna bicker and argue. Take any two kids that age and stick em in a confined space over a summer, they’re gonna bicker and argue.

        1. begbert2

          The ‘let’s practice dancing’ scene probably didn’t help.

  30. Furie

    Is Billie crying over Joe or Walky?

  31. TinyDoctorTim

    I think I liked Ruth better when she was dead.

  32. Raibean

    Definitely gonna bang

    1. lightsabermario

      perfect avatar

  33. Roborat

    Oh come on Ruth, do you hate Billy that much? You have clever insults for everybody else, but can’t be bothered for her? At least make the attempt.

  34. penguintruth

    There’s plenty of pie to go around.

  35. MarkReed

    You know, comparing the body styles of the different characters in this scene, Billie really doesn’t look that thin. I’m not calling her fat, because she’s not. But for someone who was so vain about her appearance at the beginning of the timeline, and who was a cheerleader in her last school…

    I really didn’t notice until I realized that all three ‘other’ girls in today’s strip are thinner than Billie.

  36. Krimson

    Ruth never shows her dere side to Billie. Only the tsun side.

  37. nothri

    Oh for the love of….Ruth, either leave Billie alone or just admit she’s your kismesis and get it on.

  38. PainfulBbuggery

    Hallway makeouts!? Dis gonna be good!
