Tags: jennifer, joe For a while I couldn't recall if I'd ever presented Billie's full, real name in the strip before. And then I remembered, oh, duh, it's the first damn thing she says.
Don’t ask me why but I think you may be right. Then again, both are pretty shameless, and only the good die young–something neither of them has to worry about. Still, I think he’d be better off with an uptown girl, and her with an innocent man.
We didn’t start the fire.

Yeah, but I’m Keeping the Faith. Goodnight, Siagon!
Wack'd
See you in No Man’s Land–Miami, 2017!
AckAckAck
I wish there’s a +1 feature in this comment section, you three delivers!
Jason
He’s trading in his Chevy for a Cadillac AckAckAck! You oughta know by now.
I’m assuming because getting accepted to the cheer squad is harder when the school has 12,000 students, and a proportional number of hot girls who can work a pom-pom.
Also, she has been putting on weight, and the school apparently knows that she is an alcoholic, judging by her first scene.
She demanded to be regarded as a level of cheerleader higher than cheerleader. Unfortunately they rejected the title of UltraCheerleader and Billie understandably left the project, to find cheerleaders who could appreciate her assets.
I kind of get the impression that Billie was never that great of a cheerleader to begin with. She probably just joined the squad for the social benefits and coasted, not putting in any effort at actually being good.
Joe! It’s after dark on a college campus and she’s walking around in full cheerleader regalia: this is nature’s way of saying CRAZY GIRL – DO NOT APPROACH.
Yes, I am aware that this is a humorous comic strip. Just sayin.
Discussion (150) - “Billingsworth”
Raine
Oh snap. How close/far you are Joe.
AckAckAck
Eh, good for Billie though. I think Billie-Joel ship will never sail. I don’t see the chemistry at all.

Jeff K!
Wait until she hears Joe play the piano, man.
She’ll be so overwhelmed, we’ll call her Billie the Kid.
Tualha
He can’t have this heart to break. She’s just looking for some action. That’s the kind of mood she’s in tonight.
Regalli
I just want you guys to know that I love you all for this comment thread.
Phillip Wilde
I’ve thought that for the longest time.
Yotomoe
Well that all depends on who you ship Billy Joel WITH. Some regard him as a musical genius.
TPman
Are you implying that some people DON’T regard him as a musical genius?
Jnnrss
No chemistry YET! Billie and Joe would have beautiful brunette babies together.
MeHael
I don’t know, I think it could work. At least he should tell her about it.
asdsadas
Joe’s my hero
Originalslugboy
Really? I think Jon P’s my hero.
Mkvenner
Billie’s reaction was audible.
Resne
It sounded like body butter and despair.
CWR
Yeah, that doesn’t really help.
David Herbert
Has it ever been explained why Billie doesn’t join the cheerleaders here?
Mkvenner
That’s A good Question. Willis?
C.
Maybe it’s an issue of making weight?
Mkvenner
Up or down?
Yotomoe
She just keeps insisting on being the top of the pyramid.
Spazman
Because Joe decided to join the cheerleaders first.
Spazman
*join* the cheerleaders, ‘scuse me.
Yotomoe
y-you said it right…
Jeff K!
I believe he was making a distinction between joining their group, and joining between their group.
Josh
I thought he meant join… as in at the crotch.
I.care.0
I read as “Joe-in”
Mkvenner
And he wins the cheerleading tournment all by himself because he got the rest of the squad pregnat along the the opposing squads.
EclipseMouse
^— This
AckAckAck
Maybe she’s tired with being a cheerleader?
We need confirmation. Willis?
Yotomoe
Because she’s like. Totally unpopular now, gosh. C’mon guys, really. Like, doncha know, like, anything. Like Gag me with a spoon gnarly.
Pyr05
Valley girl, She’s a valley girl, Valley girl, She’s a valley girl, Okay, fine, fer sure fer sure, she’s a valley girl..
Kernanator
Maybe she didn’t make the cut.
Yotomoe
I like the cut of her jib.
Mkvenner
I wouldn’t open with that.

Or maybe she just hasn’t tried, I dunno.

The Tea Party?

Hewlett? Is she still around?
AckAckAck
Yep. She still hot too.
PedanticJerkass

Many cheerleaders are stuck with that default face. It is fact.
Zababcd
On the inside she is crying.

Jen Aside
Joe’s gunning to beat Sal/Jason in that pool
Tom Speelman
Well, he ain’t gonna.
Mkvenner
Joe already banged Rose. So the pool is moot.
TheStranger
Not so; the poll specifies EVERYONE, which he has clearly not yet done!
Yotomoe
Joe has done you in his head.
Pyr05
Oh Joe, you’re quite the scoundrel. Little did you realize you have smashed your chances with the best former cheerleader turned reporter ever.
RSLee
Smashed his chances? Or guaranteed himself a little bit of passionate hatesex from a self-conscious former cheerleader? Too soon to call really.
Mkvenner
Or she bangs Mike.
Wack'd
“Was it good for you, too?”
“No.”
Yotomoe
Good.
AckAckAck
“Best former cheerleader turned reporter with sexy glasses”
There, ftfy.
AckAckAck
Oooh right in her pride.
Mkvenner
Thats going to leave a scar.
Yotomoe
EMOTIONALLY.
Josh
With his penis.
Count Dracula
At the rate this is going, somebody faking remembering who she is will eventually seem like a victory to her.
