    That’s what high school does to you.

    1. David Herbert

      That and teaches you pointless information.

      1. Jamal K.

        Lke how to cope with developin insanity? I’m takin an advanced course in it and tried applyin it…

        Let’s just say this straightjacket can’t get any tighter >_>

  2. addude

    I know crazy, it runs in my family, Billie is going crazy

    1. Pat

      So that’s her plan. If Billie is obviously crazy, nobody will believe her when she reports it.

  3. Mkvenner

    What no Marcies?

  4. Plasma Mongoose

    Billie: A picture of mental health.

    1. Aizat

      A not so pretty picture but a picture nonetheless.

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        Looks like we will have to wait until least Friday for Mike to put his nickel in.

        1. Aizat

          Well, Mike is there, we just have to wait and see.

        2. Lis

          he’s too busy giving all his nickles to their moms

        3. turkishproverb

          I’m not sure who is getting the nickel in that arrangement, though

  5. alicemacher

    Billie
    Billie
    Billie

    CHILL.

  6. Aizat

    Great, first she’s broken and now she’s corrupted.

    1. Rowen Morland

      Sal, Ruth or Billie? Or I guess all maybe all of them?

  7. MM

    Quick, someone run back to Billie’s room and see if there’s still any beer left.

  8. Joe

    Billie, you’re not helping yourself here.

    1. Berenzen

      Sure she is, but only at digging her hole deepet.

      1. Aizat

        Deepet? Is that a new word?

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          I think it was meant to be deeper.

        2. eagalian

          i dont think that series of avatars could be any more perfect for their respective comments XD

  9. arjay2813

    billie really needs to see a counselor. wonder if that will be reagan

    1. Lis

      no just an RR look-alike

  10. Josh Spicer

    Okay, originally she was wrongly accused of being insane.

    NOW there’s liable reason to call her insane.

    1. gangler

      “You called me a monster, and that’s what I became!”

      1. Sophia

        Lolz Billie is Frankenstein?

      2. Shifty

        Her expression in the last panel seems to support your quote. She looks a bit scary there.

  11. Beehive Radio

    I learned long ago never to try and sway folks to your side when feuding with a close fri– er, enemy. R.A.??
    Well, anyway, YOU usually come off looking like the antagonist. (or, in this case, a “Batshit Insane Wack-Bag”.
    Best to play it cool and let them be their own undoing.
    … Poor Billie

  12. Aizat

    Billie’s smile is starting to creep me out.

  13. meanderling

    Billie’s got a cruuuuush…

    Hey, that was canon Walkyverse, wasn’t it?

  14. Rex Hondo

    Methinks Billie is going through the DT’s something fierce.

  15. Thor

    HAPPY 100TH APPEARANCE, JOYCE!

    Revel in the fact that you are no longer the craziest person in the strip.

    1. Aizat

      I think her craziness got transferred to Billie.

      1. QueenThomas

        Well, they are best friends.

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          And BBFs share everything, including insanity.

        2. NF

          That comment made me imagine Billie and Joyce running through the campus at night, with Billie beating random people while Joyce yells “repent!”

        3. Kernanator

          Not to mention lesbian sex. But everyone knew that already.

  16. NCP19

    Billie’s final face is golden. Also, I love Sal’s ventriloquism in the same panel given her mouth is closed around her cigarette, heh.

  17. Ridureyu

    And now Sal refuses to sign the RA agreement, just because Billie is acting so crazy.

    Silly Billie!

    1. gangler

      “Hey Ruth! I hear you’re the RA. Listen, I think my roommate might be like way dangerously insane. I can’t even enter my own room because she just scares the hell out of me. Could you help me out here? She’s physically aggressive and always drunk and twitchy and obsessive and delusional. She takes pictures of people while they’re sleeping. She has pictures of you. Last night she stormed into our room at 3am and chased me out while shouting up a storm. The entire floor heard her! I can’t even sleep because of her!”

      Ruth raises an eyebrow. “Um yeah sure. Let’s make her someone else’s problem. I think that’s within my abilities considering the severity of the complaints.”

  18. Alechsa

    Mike… actually looks… WORRIED in the background…

    …Or disappointed that he has to stay back and miss the fun.

    1. 1Samildanach

      He’s concerned someone might die. Mums get all upset when their kids die, and he prefers to simply pay his nickel and get down to business.

      1. Random832

        Wait, wait, wait….

        I thought the moms were paying the nickel to Mike…?

        1. Kirby

          That would imply that Mike was the prostitute, not your mom.

    2. Sophia

      He does love the moms. But he’s probably just worried there’s gonna be a fight where he DOESN’T get to punch anyone.

      1. Pat

        What’s stopping him from punching someone?

    3. Shifty

      I don’t think he’s worried so much as contemplative. How can he make this situation worse… hmmmm?

    4. MM

      In light of Walky’s comment, I vote for the second. Why on earth would you want to hang back from a good blood-spattering?

      1. TheBenenator

        HIV. Hepatitis. Et cetra.

        1. 1Samildanach

          Given that he’s slept with your mum, I don’t think those are a concern for him any more.

          😛

  19. Qaxis

    Billie’s lack of sleep seems to be hurting her argument. Or maybe this is just how she argues. That’d be worse.

  20. DiDi

    Oh… I laughed so bloody hard at this one. So bloody hard.

    1. das-g

      If you laugh so hard that it becomes bloody, you might want to see a doctor.

  21. Madock345

    I wish we had a full picture of billies faaace in the final panel so I could use it as a avatar.

  22. dchorror

    Sadly, this isn’t even a record for Break the Cutie.

  23. Eposi

    picture of Ruth sleeping… who is being stalked again?

    1. MeHael

      *manical voice* WHO’S STALKING NOW!

      1. lawzlo

        It’s Stalky!

        1. Aizat

          What’s next? Joyce and Stalky?

        2. QueenThomas

          We’re no longer in the DoA-verse. We’re in the Stalkyverse.

        3. 1Samildanach

          Nah, it’d be Ruth and Stalky.

  24. Aizat

    Billie is slowly walking into the insanity pool.

    1. John

      There’s “walking”, and there’s “taking a running leap and yelling, ‘CANNONBALL!'”

      This is the latter.

  25. Cholisose

    Blood, hm? Well as they say in Sea World, front row seats are in the SPLASH ZONE.

    1. Aizat

      Don’t you mean the DANGER ZONE?

  26. Kirby

    I think I like this Sal. XD She’s very collected… and I also don’t see her staying in the room for very long from now on….

  27. Shifty

    It continues to amuse me that Sal seems incapable of acknowledging her own crazy-ass behavior (again, she finds climbing the wall of a four story building easier than simply opening the door to her dorm and stepping over the sleeping body on the floor.)

    And yet… Billie is starting to loose her own remaining sanity points towards the end here.

    1. Zanosuke_Kurosaki

      As Gangler has hypothesized, and I’m starting to agree, Sal uses Squirrel-Logic. By the views of Squirrel-Logic, one ignores one’s own contributions to things, as one is barely aware one exists, as one is constantly on the lookout for external threats. Sal is certainly doing this very thing…

  28. NF

    Sal, just back away slowly. The cornered Billie is capable of great violence when threatened

    Also, Mike just showed up. All we need now is Joe, Danny, and Roz, then we could have one hell of a crazy-party.

    1. Shifty

      Just give her a half-full bottle of Jack Daniels and everything will be okay.

  29. Tenn

    Did Bille bring a shovel, or did someone hand it to her? 😛

    1. Tenn

      Bille = Billie.

  30. Confuzor

    Where’s Amazi-girl when we need her!?

    1. Aizat

      She’s off fighting the invisible hangman.

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        So is Sal a superhero or villain?

        1. Mkvenner

          It is to early to tell.

        2. DeWeese07

          Sal = Spider-Car

    2. begbert2

      She’s right here – Sal *is* Amazi-girl. Have you ever seen them both around at the same time? No. And she’s out at all hours, often inexplicably absent; entering and exiting through upper-story windows; has a better vehicle than anybody else around? Obvious superhero traits. And the capper? Amazi-girl doesn’t wear glasses. Sal doesn’t wear glasses. Q.E.D.

      1. Zanosuke_Kurosaki

        You’re all wrong. Sal is a squirrel!

        1. begbert2

          Sal’s Squirrel-girl? So she’s unbeatable then!

        2. Roborat

          Yea, she does bear some resemblance to Grace, doesn’t she?

        3. gangler

          And the plot thickens.

        4. Plasma Mongoose

          Wouldn’t a EGS crossover make DoA a tad less realistic?

        5. gangler

          Less realistic than that camera-phone in Billie’s hand?

    3. MM

      Maybe Marcie’s her sidekick and has gone off to fetch her?

  31. Anime fan

    I agree with Sal on this one.

  32. Kernanator

    Billie, Billie, Billie. That is not the way to convince people that someone else is crazy. It is, however, a great way to convince people that you need professional help.

    1. NF

      Yes, a professional goon!

    2. Aizat

      Yeah, a professional wrestler or hitman. Whichever comes first.

      1. Kernanator

        PSYCHOLOGICAL SUPLEX!

  33. Zem

    Man, I wish people saw ME in their nightmares. 🙁

    Must be nice to have that kind of strong impression on people.

  34. Mkvenner

    This might actually be a good thing Billie’s going through.

  35. Osaru Sensei

    Yeah, Billie’s falling off the slippery slope.

    ‘It finally happened Bart Billie! You’ve gone crazy!’

    1. Osaru Sensei

      … dammit, I forgot the strike tags.

  36. Fluttershy and Rarity are my OTP

    Oh shit son, Billie gone cray-cray.

  37. Jack Faire

    That’s why I always trust the crazy person. Everyone else thinks Billie is being insane but really it’s not the kind of thing that even crazy people make up it just sounds crazy. I give people like this benefit of the doubt cuz they are usually right.

    1. Andy

      Even the ones who start talking about the monkeys and the host sauce and the tickling oh god the tickling why does it tickle so much no god no leave me alone

      …sorry, no idea what just came over me.

      1. dchorror

        There’s something there. It means run.

  38. Maycroft

    You’re not helping your case Billie

  39. SgtNumnum

    Her insanity level is OVER 9000!!!

  40. Moe

    She’s smoking the cig the wrong way.
