    4. L33tmaster

      RIGHT SURE THEY ARE…. oh shite they really are….
      See now i feel like a dick

      1. Yet_One_More_Idiot

        Yeah, suuuuuuuuuure they are. Whatever you say, sir. *exaggerated wink*

    5. Arikel

      Is that a Farscape reference or am I seeing things?

      1. SgtWadeyWilson

        Farscape referenced Harvey, look it up, it’s a great movie.

      2. Sailor_Arashi

        Who Framed Roger Rabbit reference.

        1. Kryss LaBryn

          Who Framed Roger Rabbit was also referencing Harvey. 🙂

        2. Sailor_Arashi

          Yes, but the delivery as quoted in the post is identical to the line from Roger Rabbit. I don’t believe there is a similar line in Harvey itself.

        3. Deanatay

          “Is that a rabbit in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?”

        4. Sailor_Arashi

          Don’t bust a button, Dolores, you’ve only got one left.

    6. nothri

      I believe in Harvey Dent.

    7. vc

      Zach, I think she’s onto us.

  2. otusasio451

    The day the Jason has a better social life than Sal…that is the day the world ends.

    1. Doctor_Who

      Well, Sal associates with Malaya, so that counts for negative five friends right there.

      1. SUGauthor

        But Jason IS Jason, that’s like, negative ten thousand friends all on it’s own.

        1. Gigafreak

          Jason’s dirty secret is that he has twenty thousand friends on Facebook and they all care about him

  3. DeviousDog

    The bar is a lie.

    1. L33tmaster

      the bar was always a lie….

      1. Caleb A

        I feel like there’s a lawyer joke in here somewhere

        1. Opus the Poet

          No there are several thousand lawyer jokes in there…

        2. N0083rP00F

          There is only one lawyer joke. It’s all true.

  4. Kernanator

    You can’t see them because they’re off-panel.

    1. Tacos

      Oh no. Jason has become affected by a meta bomb…..

    2. Plasma Mongoose

      It’s like baby logic, “if you cannot see it, it doesn’t exist.”

      1. Stephen Bierce

        *plays Devo’s “Peekaboo” on the jukebox*

      2. Doctor_Who

        Jason fell for Peek-a-Boo until he was fourteen, and he still gets upset when people steal his nose.

      3. tyersome

        Hey it works for the monsters under the bed!

      4. Orbit Junkie

        More like Canadian Girlfriend logic. If you can’t see it, you can’t claim it doesn’t exist somewhere else.

        1. nothri

          Is it ironic that Billie actually does have a Canadian girlfriend and is currently tyrying to convince people said girlfriend doesn’t exist?

        2. grantimusmaximus

          I think you just cracked the code.

        3. No Name

          This thread brings up an interesting question. If American men pretend to have Canadian girlfriends, what do Canadian men pretend to have?

        4. Chris from Canada

          Our “fake” girlfriends are still Canadian, but they live one town over.

        5. Opus the Poet

          And when you are out in the former territories of Canuckistan, “one town over” is in the next province.

        6. N0083rP00F

          Except in Quebec….

        7. fogel

          “American woman …” guess who …

    3. Kris

      You know that one guy in the background last comic? Turns out he’s been Jason’s best friend for years. He went to the guys bar mitzvah! You might not have noticed him because he didn’t have a tag. Wait there were two guys…Two friends!

    4. Deanatay

      “My friends are all over there, [but I don’t want to make Willis draw them all, so they’re] just out of view.”

  5. Plasma Mongoose

    I wonder who or what Jason saw in the last panel?

    1. Jones

      Maybe he’s just realizing that Sal is struggling with things other than math.

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        Just as long as it’s only math and not meth.

        1. Opus the Poet

          naw, it’s “Meh”th. Thank you, I’ll be here all week, try your waitress and tip the veal.

        2. nothri

          Of course not. That would mean tutoring from her chemistry teacher.

      2. Deanatay

        Have you considered that maybe HE’S struggling with things other than math?

    2. newllend(henryvolt)

      Probably looking at every last reader that’s giving him death looks beyond the 4th wall.

    3. GoogerGeiger

      Nothing? Just a dopey look on his face as he fails at trying to 1-up Sal.

    4. tyersome

      Sal’s middle finger?

    5. dave

      He has realized that if he introduces Sal to his friends, that is one step closer to people finding out he is having relations with a student. This was foreshadowed the last time we saw Jason.

      1. fogel

        Bad grad student, bad!!

  6. Kris

    I swear they’re right off panel. They have generic character designs and everything!

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      Also they’re Canadian…

      1. Maveric1984

        They all went to some high school called Avalon and wore uniforms in green and white.

        1. John

          Apparently Avalon High is in Tennessee in the Dumbiverse.

        2. David M Willis

          Well it’s certainly not where Ruth grew up.

        3. N0083rP00F

          Can I guess Parkdale in The Big Smoke?

  7. newllend(henryvolt)

    Thank you Jason…don’t think she asked though.

  8. Idon'tcarenomore

    Maybe he just got smart, and decided he better not get involved.
    Or maybe he’s just a coward and saw ‘something’ that warned him off.

  9. winter

    … is the joke that his friends (colleagues) are over there and he’s not socialising with them, or that his friends (colleagues) aren’t there at all and he’s lying?

    1. Stephen Bierce

      Maybe they aren’t there because they left him in a lurch.

    2. Spencer

      I think it’s the latter. It’s been previously established that nobody likes Jason.

      1. winter

        Nobody likes Jason, but sometimes all the grad students from a certain faculty department are invited for Friday night drinks out of hand.

        1. Robert

          I think of Jason’s “friends” as basically the dudes who only hang out with jason despite the fact that they all think he’s kind of a dry bone. But on the plus side he always tags along with this one dude whose just a cut up. Like literally the whole room just erupts with a good belly laugh every time he tells a joke. Think of it as the Andy Richter/ Conan O’Brien kind of duo.

        2. Kryss LaBryn

          Jason is the straight man. Every comic needs one, and Jason is the best straight man.

          –Which is doubly hilarious considering his original characterization.

    3. Tenn

      I was thinking the same thing, and I came to the conclusion that it’s funny either way. 🙂

  10. Julez

    My friends, all just off panel… in Canada…

    1. newllend(henryvolt)

      Ya because I totally have friends, I’m not drinking alone because I just realized Everyone doesn’t like me.

  11. Plasma Mongoose

    Sal’s chocolate milkshake brings all the TAs to her bar.

    1. newllend(henryvolt)

      HA!

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        heh heh heh!

        1. nothri

          muhahahahahmuhaaahaaaamuhaaaMUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!

    2. Kris

      He could teach her but he’d have to charge!

    3. Opus the Poet

      Looks like Baily’s to me

      1. Deanatay

        You think you can’t make a milkshake with Bailey’s?

  12. Emoroffle

    “You wouldn’t know them, they’re from Canada.”

    1. newllend(henryvolt)

      What’s up with you guys and Canada Today?

      1. JessWitt

        Ruth: “You got a problem with Canada, buddy?”

        1. Bagge

          Wait, wait, I’m really slow, I’m sure someone else already made this Joke – but Billie actually HAS a secret girlfriend from Canada.

        2. timemonkey

          I’m not your Buddy, friend.

      2. Cholma

        Don’t you know that ALL secret girlfriends are from Canada? That’s why you can never, ever, meet them.

        1. newllend(henryvolt)

          No, no, I love maple syrup.

        2. newllend(henryvolt)

          Sorry wrong one, to you I was going to ask if the reason why was that no one would ever bother to look there.

        3. Rycan

          We get the craziest non-sequiters around here.

        4. Kryss LaBryn

          I am Canadian and I am eating maple syrup RIGHT NOW. 😀

        5. Opus the Poet

          I think the thing I like the most about Canada is they have a strategic maple syrup reserve so in case they get a bad harvest they can still get the Real Thing for their waffles and pancakes.

          I mean how cool is that?

        6. Roborat

          And somebody thought it was worth enough to steal it.

        7. Kamino Neko

          I currently AM the Girlfriend Who Lives in Canada. >_> For real. It’s…amusing.

        8. Rycan

          Ah, explains why I’ve never heard of that. See, where I live, Canada is closer than the closest neighboring state.

      3. Kennerly

        Its a popular joke/self defense in the US. At least in US sitcoms, of a nerd claiming he’s not single, but has a long distance girlfriend in Canada whom nobody has ever met.

        1. nothri

          In Canada of course they claim their girlfriends are from Greenland.

        2. Deanatay

          Are they unemployed?

        3. nothri

          Canadians or Greenlanders? Or girlfriends?

        4. Yet_One_More_Idiot

          We sometimes attempt the same personal defence here in the UK, but we’d probably say that the secret girl/boyfriend no-one’s ever met is from Australia. 😛

        5. Deanatay

          It’s from The Princess Bride:

          “Do you want me to put you back where I found you? Unemployed, in Greenland??”

    2. Twilightomens

      “They…they go to a different school.”

    3. Bill

      “Her name is Alberta, she lives in Vancouver
      She cooks like her mother and sucks like a Hoover.”

  13. maxyai

    Would you like to meet them? Or we could go back to my place and snog, quite.

  14. newllend(henryvolt)

    You know what’s Ironic ? Today’s Saints Patricks day and everybody is drinking ( Still 9pm for me)

  15. John

    Yep, definitely chocolate milk. You can tell because Sal hasn’t fallen off her barstool yet.

    1. Urukak

      Maybe it’s Yoohoo.

  16. Khaner

    Calling it now, new Slipshine dropping in.

  17. JessWitt

    What’s Sal drinking currently? And is it any good?

    1. Kennerly

      I’ve never seen a beer served in a glass like that.

    2. Plasma Mongoose

      Bourbon Chocolate Milkshake?

      1. Kennerly

        No, that’s usually served in a martini glass.

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          I’m a teetotaller so my knowledge on cocktails is limited.

        2. nothri

          Well, you take some ingredients and you put them all in a glass and there you have it.

        3. begbert2

          Is that all it takes? Let’s see, I think around here I have some water, some white chocolate, perhaps some turpentine, and I think some windshield wiper fluid out in the car. Time to get started!

        4. John

          Ugh. You’re going to drink white chocolate!?

        5. SgtWadeyWilson

          Reality check, not only is begbert2 drinking far too milky chocolate, they added water.
          *Thud.*
          See, so little cocoa that poor begbert2 fell off the stool.

    3. winter

      Hopefully something with coffee liqueur, because it may be the best thing that exists. But I would expect a lowball glass for something like that.

    4. Opus the Poet

      My original guess was Baily’s but that much baily’s would put you in either a diabetic or alcoholic coma, so I’m going to punt and say “Mudslide”.

      1. Sailor_Arashi

        Bailey’s is pretty weak, all things considered. You might gag over the sweetness, though.

      2. Sailor_Arashi

        Not to mention that a full glass of Bailey’s at a bar is going to cost like $50 or something ridiculous. It’s probably just beer.

        1. winter

          It’s not impossible that it’s beer, but the dark colour of the beverage combined with the fact that it appears to be served in a highball glass is understandably making us think mixed drink. I doubt it’s pure Bailey’s, but I don’t think a Mudslide is out of the question.

        2. Bill

          I’m of the opinion that it is just a drawing of a pint glass and she is drinking some sort of a darker beer — like maybe New Belgium’s “Fat Tire Ale”…. especially because in the first panel of yesterday’s strip the curly-haired guy in the bluish-colored shirt behind Sal was holding practically the same thing.

        3. Bill

          In addition, since ice is cheaper than liquor, most bars will serve a mixed drink with a shitload of ice in the glass and a swizzle stick.

        4. Sailor_Arashi

          >but the dark colour

          I…what?

          Beer can be dark.

        5. Bill

          Great minds think alike. 

        6. Deanatay

          GUINESS

        7. StClair

          Stick a fork in it, it’ll stay upright.

        8. Sailor_Arashi

          The beer that drinks like a meal!

        9. Opus the Poet

          I’m trying to pry the Belgian brew out of long term memory that was brewed so that monks could stay true to their vows of not eating during Lent, but still get a fair amount of nutrition. It had the nickname of “liquid bread”. Such is the “joy” of brain damage and age, you remember that you know something, but you can’t remember what it was. I even remember drinking a glass, about 8 ounces worth (250 ml?) and it was a great beer with a very heavy mouth feel and a very yeasty finish, slightly sweet.

        10. Bill

          Opus, could that possibly be Chimay?  That is a Belgian beer that is brewed in a Trappist monastery and is fully controlled by the brothers of the monastery.

        11. Sailor_Arashi

          That’s the general legendry behind the various Trappist ales, at least. I don’t know of any one specifically associated with that, though.

          If you’re looking for Trappist, though, Chimay is the place to start. It’s very good and easy to find.

        12. Sailor_Arashi

          Get out of my head, Bill!

        13. Roborat

          yup, that was my guess too.

        14. winter

          Ghawd you gais! It wasn’t about one factor or the other, but when you take the probabilities of both and multiply them… *flips tabe*

          Maybe it’s just the shitty sample of bars I’ve been to, but it seems like light beers are generally more abundant than dark. It’s basically Sophie’s choice between light pisswater and Guiness.

          nb4 it’s improbably chocolate milk, like other people have suggested.

        15. Sailor_Arashi

          If you’re going by types of beer, there are a lot more darker beers than there are lighter beers.

          If you’re going by sheer volume, the fact that the major mass-market beers are ‘Pale Lagers’ means that if you’re seeing a beer commercial you’re seeing something bright yellow.

          In any case, if you go back to the previous strip, every glass is filled with the same color substance, and I doubt everyone there is drinking mudslides 😉

        16. winter

          Yeah, I completely missed that in the previous strip. It was a good catch on yours and Bill’s part. 🙂

        17. Nono

          Maybe it’s a Milkybar.

  18. tim gueguen

    C’mon, Sal. You don’t have to drink alone. Carla would share a beer or six with you. Sure, she’d snark at you all night, but you can handle that.

    1. Ghostforge

      Jason should totally sit down, order a double of Loneliness and share it with Sal, legal repercussions be damned!

  19. AgentKeen

    It’s not a good sign when wearing a bow-tie all the time looks like your smoothest move.

    1. nothri

      Hey! Leave off the bow ties! Bow ties are cool.

      (Doc, you better back me up on this one!)

      1. SgtWadeyWilson

        Well, the Doctor seems to be out, but I’ll play Pretender to back you up.

        Bowties are cool!
        *Adjusts bowtie.*
        Anyone with a contrary opinion can take it up with my katana.

      2. Doctor_Who

        Sorry, got stuck in a time…wibbly…thing. I fell asleep, okay?

        Thanks for covering, Wadey.

        1. SgtWadeyWilson

          Wait, you mean I didn’t mess it up there at the end? I uhh… *Ahem* I mean, any time, Doctor.

  20. Charles Phipps

    I’m just here to pick up chicks. Honest!

  21. DarkoNeko

    Of course they are, Jason. Of course they are.

    1. DarkoNeko

      waiit wait.
      She’s totally tugging on his sleeve on the last panel. That’s why it’s out of view

  22. Darth Cariss

    Is the joke that we don’t know if he’s lying or not?

  23. Nena

    So is he catching feelings?

  24. The Wizard

    Yep, no social life.

  25. The Articulator

    So, uh, I feel like that needs to be a shirt, right?

  26. Kelly

    Willis’s drinks still look like chocolate milk to me…

    1. Bagge

      She’s one of those silver age super heroes who drink a glass of milk in the bar and beats up anyone who makes fun of them

      1. Bagge

        Billie: Amazie-girl!

        1. Kryss LaBryn

          Now I wanna get Billie drunk and convince her that she’s Amazi-girl.

          That’s what happens when she passes out, right? She dons a costume and fights crime? 😀

          Boy I am in a wacky mood today. 😀

  27. Garrett

    Jason just saw a familiar motorcycle outside and decided to pop in

    1. Gigafreak

      He saw something he wanted to ride

  28. Mkvenner

    And mobile meth labs.

  29. Feministic Man

    Yep, his best friends are Jack Daniels and his Bud Wiser. 😉

    1. Deanatay

      Don’t forget Jimmy Bean!

  30. Zaidyer

    “Y’know, of all the friends I’ve had… You’re the first.”

  31. N1-J4

    There going to be bangin’ in the next slip, right?

  32. nothri

    Is now a good time to break this back out? I think now is a good time to break this back out…

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-95uLna-P0

    1. Orbit Junkie

      What do you mean, “Is this a good time to break this back out?” Every time is a good time to break this out!

  33. KingOfGreyfell

    Where did the image of Joyce with a dickhat come from?
    Off-topic, I realize.

    1. Rycan

      Photoshop. Dickhat came from Roz, of course.

      1. Gigafreak

        It was time to put on Mr. Helmet.

  34. Orbit Junkie

    Jason keeps his friends in Dorothy’s hammerspace. Dorothy’s cool with it, so long as he keeps the majority of his bow tied Brits out of her things.

    1. ninja_jesus

      Dorothy’s hammerspace? I thought that was currently reserved for Walky.

      1. Bagge

        The hammer is his penis

  35. Bagge

    Jason, don’t try to make this about you. She wants to open up, just listen to what she has to say.

  36. Chronos

    Oh, hi, Jason. I didn’t realize you could see through the fourth wall.

    1. tim gueguen

      He knows Penny over at Living To Death, and she’s been giving him lessons.

  37. Crumplepunch

    He’s pointing at the fandom.

    1. nothri

      Oh….oh dear. He thinks we’re his friends. This is really awkward…

      1. Bilal Kalyal

        You think that’s awkward? He’s so pitiful that I actually just call myself his friends in the hopes he mans up!

  38. BrokenEye, True False Prophet

    Yes, they’re sharing a drink they call loneliness
    But it’s better than drinkin’ alone
