“We will never understand each other” is a pretty mild statement for Ruth to be saying in response to Joyce. Considering it’s Ruth we’re talking about.
You know, it occurs to me that she might not even think that anything was amiss if her partner turned out to be completely not into sex (with her). She might just silently worry that something was wrong with her for wanting more.
As has been noted above, they could get married and still have her not catch on.
Ragnal
I dunno. Sooner or later I think Mike’s gonna get sick of dropping hints and just outright tell Joyce, or Amber’s gonna catch Ethan and chew him out right in front of her at some point.
I know they’re Ethan’s friends and all, but sooner or later they gotta let the cat out of the bag if Ethan doesn’t.
But unstoppable snarker feed from angry responses and strong comebacks. But with Joyce she simply absorb it all and left Ruth feeling empty. What’s the point of a prey when it never give her satisfaction?
Notice that she(Ruth) enjoy it the most when Billie fight back.
I’m not sure if the last panel speech is supposed to be under-her-breath or something, or if she is now speaking the Eldritch Language of the Damned and Femurless.
You mean it is even harder for them then the ones who had their spines ripped out?
[ note: it is very difficult to foment and underworld uprising when nobody has a spine]
You two, get to it in the closet. I’ll keep watch outside. Then later join in.

Uh. That backfired.

This combo just keeps getting bigger and bigger. I’d like to say “C-C-COMBO BREAKER!” but I forgot what my icon is. Might very well be pat of the combo.
Discussion (104) - “Protection”
redraine
Don’t worry Ruth. Billie understands. She’ll always understand.
Resne
I sense a future full of beer and sadness.
Josh
And pie.
Darren
Josh’s picture is the definition of appropriate.
That guy
Pie in your FAAAAACE?
Rebeccafp
Virginity was such a happy time… Full of free meals, and cable.
JetstreamGW
Wait, what? I don’t get free meals and I cancelled my cable months ago. you’re shaking my worldview and I don’t like it!
Doctor_Who
You need to be more direct, Ruth. If I recall, she understood the “femurs” thing well enough.
AckAckAck
Well Doc, you can always use Lemurs initiative instead.
Vibbles
No, no, that’ll never work. Don’t try and talk monkeys with Creationists….
Josh
I hear Llamas work quite well though.
Dibullba
Demon llama? Where?
Makkabee
Nahh, Joyce won’t take anything a Buddhist pack animal has to say seriously.
Pyr05
The sarcasm defense is good! Joyce dodges handily and it flies over her head!
Aizat
Just like my circle of friends.
GoldStarz
You assume she’s being sarcastic.
Pyr05
I had actually intended to mention insults, not sure how I got to sarcasm.

Zach
Sincerity lends the comment gravity. It might even be vicious!
Wonder Wig
They don’t even have similar letters in each other’s names.
licoricepencil
Awww, Joyce. So sweet and innocent.
TELL HER ETHAN.

|Agent
Hm, yeah. I bet you’re right. Dammit, Joyce.
Plasma Mongoose
Silly Ruth, the only way you can communicate with Joyce is with threats of violence.
Kernanator
She understands loss of femurs.
Yotomoe
Or bible scriptures.
Plasma Mongoose
and she knows the art of applying broken glass to the FAAAACE!
Aizat
Wait, Megabride?
Plasma Mongoose
Yes, who would have thought that Megatron would make a cute bride.
imperator
I always believed Megatron would be the ultimate housewife, once he and Optimus get over their serious tsundere angst towards each other.
Bet that laser cannon can make the PERFECT spaghettios.
Undrave
I bet Starscream did!
Plasma Mongoose
Starscream would make a terrible spouse, you cant turn your back on him for a moment or he will most likely stab you in the back one way or another.
blackaeon
Not to mention, could you really imagine taking a poop and having Starscream interrupt it because the trash is full. Megatron it is.
Kernanator
“And if you can’t be careful, I wasn’t here, got it?”
Yotomoe
I don’t want to understand you, Joyce. You’re living in a world that I do not wish to live in.
Sir Robin
You know, it occurs to me that we have not seen Ethan’s roomate … Ryan maybe?
FT_Roy
It’s Mike.
Sir Robin
Mike is Walky’s room mate
Aizat
Is it just me or did I just imagine Ruth saying her last line with a demonic voice?
AckAckAck
I imagine her muttering in defeat though. Also sounds more like a whisper.
Aizat
Yeah, but the black speech bubble usually signifies a demonic voice….that or an alien voice.
AckAckAck
Plot twist: Ruth is Head Alien in disguise.
N0083rP00F
Not Head Alien or even Head Alien II but Head Alien’s long unknown offspring from his earlier experimental days.
Magus65
No demonic is when it is black background in the bubble and red text.
The black background just signifies its full of hate and venom. red signifies the fiery aspect of the speech (which we associate fire with hell yes..)
So i viewed her speech as full of venom and hate for what Joyce just said..
Ragnal
You guys enjoy how much Joyce fails at being insulted.
Me, I’ll keep counting down the seconds until she finds out he’s gay.
Jackson
Better count in higher denominations. If you count in seconds, you might run out of numbers.
begbert2
As has been noted above, they could get married and still have her not catch on.

AckAckAck
This is what happened when an unstoppable snarker met impenetrable sponge.
Or we call it, the “Snark Paradox”
Aizat
Actually, when an unstoppable snarker met an impenetrable sponge, the unstoppable snarker has a very delicious prey.
AckAckAck
But unstoppable snarker feed from angry responses and strong comebacks. But with Joyce she simply absorb it all and left Ruth feeling empty. What’s the point of a prey when it never give her satisfaction?
Notice that she(Ruth) enjoy it the most when Billie fight back.
Plasma Mongoose
I just hope that Ruth didn’t jump the snark.
TheBothering
CAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRLOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSS
Roborat
I keep hoping she will jump Billie.
Nice avatar, by the way.
Roborat
And what a surprise, it has been changed already.
Alechsa
But the Snark was a boojum!
Regalli
I’m not sure if the last panel speech is supposed to be under-her-breath or something, or if she is now speaking the Eldritch Language of the Damned and Femurless.
Yotomoe
That one group of the condemned with the most difficulty walking.
N0083rP00F

Davriel
I liked Ruth better when she was beating the crap out of people
AckAckAck
Your avatar is so appropriate for that comment.

Uniqueantique
So much misunderstanding in one small area of communication.
AckAckAck
This is what we called verbal misfire.
Aizat
A verbal misfire could led to a verbal mishap or worse a verbal fuck-up.
AckAckAck
But Ruth expecting a verbal sparring, and that’s not what she get.
