    And I the penalty boxes all set up and everything. 🙁

    1. thelastnerd

      I think you accidentally a word.

      1. TheBenenator

        No, I pretty sure didn’t.

        1. dusk

          Stop trying make mistakes

    2. bobjohnsonandthediglets

      i no idea what you mean

  2. Ridureyu

    so bloodthirsty and kill-happy that even Sarah wants to see murder!

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      Don’t we all?

    2. ryan

      sarah wouldn’t mind if all the other students died. then she wouldn’t have to deal with anyone or their drama.

  3. Sensedog

    Well, there is still plenty of time remaining in their college days.

  4. Twisted Two-face

    This fills up Sarah’s monthly appearance/quip quota.

    1. Yotomoe

      I imagine she has checkoff sheet.

      1. Kernanator

        “Okay, I’ve taken care of Joyce and Billie, now for Dorothy.”

      2. lordphulish

        It’s better than most tokens, where they say things like “oh snap!” and “no she di’int!”

        1. lordphulish

          Oh yeah, and “DAT ASS!”.

        2. coobee

          … don’t thiiiiink you can describe Sarah as a ‘token’ when Walky and Sal are also part black, Billie and Dina are asian or part asian, and Ethan and Joe are jewish. Just, uh, no.

        3. David

          Nothing questionable about reflexively calling every black character a token.

        4. explodingdragon

          The closest I’ve seen to a token black guy happening recently was the last minute casting of Lawrence Fishbourne to voice the Silver Surfer in the second Fantastic Four movie. As the only other black guy isn’t likable and dies pretty easily.

          If you want some token white guys, try the latter version of Death at a Funeral. Or Red Tails, when I watched that I couldn’t tell the white guys apart!

        5. AJBulldis

          In my younger years, I was a part of an anime “club” that had one black member; he went by the nickname of Token.

        6. Whit

          As someone who grew up in Bloomington, IN and attended Indiana University, I can attest that this looks more or less like the ethnic/racial make-up of the campus, definitely more Asian and Jewish students than African-American.

  5. Yotomoe

    Actually…I’m with Sarah…I woulda liked to see them throw down.

  6. Wonder Wig

    Wow, Sarah’s starting to show a little of her rebellious side. She’s even drinking out of a bendy straw and not a standard-issue straight straw! What a maverick.

    1. Yotomoe

      and look at that casual paper cup rather than the recommended glass or even plastic cups.

      1. TheBenenator

        What? It’s more recyclable than plastic, and less breakable than glass. She doesn’t have to hear gripe-drama from us environmentalists this way.

        Wait. Bendy-straw. WHAT AR—– *shot*

  7. Confuzor

    Wasn’t Ruth just giving Billie shit for being where she wasn’t supposed to be? And Sarah just gets off scott free for being in the same place!?

    Ruth must truly be rattled.

    1. Yotomoe

      a better question…Why’s Sarah even there?

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        Ain’t they in the men’s dorm?

        1. Yotomoe

          Sarah finally took Joe up on his offer.

        2. Undrave

          that’s why she looks so chipper!

    2. WhiteEyedCat

      Billy was in trouble for being there for the purpose of avoiding Ruth.

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        Ruth doesn’t handle rejection too well.

        1. Kernanator

          She wants Billie to return her calls.

          She just can’t see that it’s over already.

        2. Plasma Mongoose

          I just hope this sinking ship has lifeboats.

  8. Stephen Bierce

    If you can’t have the brouhaha settle for the brew.

    1. Yotomoe

      I have never seen a person actually spell “brouhaha”

      1. Historyman68

        I don’t know if I’ve ever heard someone pronounce “brouhaha.”

        1. Raiser

          S’pronounced “Broo-hah-hah”. I’ve heard it, and used it, quite a bit myself.

          This said, I was glued to a dictionary for much of my childhood, so sesquipedalian loquaciousness was standard operating procedure when I was younger.

          Or, well, general use of words that most people never encountered outside of a thesaurus, in any case. The habit has worn down to some degree, I do have to look things up fairly often, but the fact that the words still come up in my train of thought (and that I seek to confirm their usage) I suppose qualifies as a good thing.

          Less so the fact that I seem to be incapable of writing something less than three sentences unless I’m cracking a joke.

        2. Yotomoe

          Sir I have hypopotomonstrosesquipidaliaphobia and I find your 2nd paragraph offesnsive.

        3. Kryss LaBryn

          I got to use repatriate, eviscerate, and defenestration today (and at the same time). It was fun. 😀

  9. Izzy

    Excuse it if its sub-par I haven’t done an edit like this before
    <a href="http://i1255.photobucket.com/albums/hh635/DoAedits/modded.jpg title="TaDa!"

    1. Rimaslxbya

      The picture totally makes up for your problems making a working comment. X)

      1. Izzy

        yay

    2. Kernanator

      Awesome.

      1. Izzy

        thank you!

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          It’s a shame that Ruth doesn’t have much of a bootay.

        2. Izzy

          ill fix THAT later

  10. Izzy

    Excuse it if its sub-par I haven’t done an edit like this before

  11. Wack'd

    …

    Sarah’s kind of a bongo.

    1. SkepticJ

      I like Sarah, and I usually see where she’s coming from, but yeah, she could probably tone it down a bit.

  12. Kernanator

    *raises eyebrow*

    Interesting. I did not foresee this side of Sarah, the side that loves bloodsport between two college girls.

    Either that, or she’s just making her rounds for quip-giving.

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      Maybe she just wants moar fanservice, like the rest of us do.

      1. Izzy

        pssst…click the link a few comments up

    2. Bekah

      I think it’s more of her desire to see Billie and/or Ruth’s blood on the floor than it is to see blood on the floor in general.

  13. Uniqueantique

    Sarah is not Billies biggest fan. If I remember she let Billie know her opinion of her when Joyce tried to get Sarah and Billie to be friends. I don’t think it’s seeing bloodshed in general so much as seeing ‘Billies blood shed’.
    But, yeah what is she doing in the men’s dorm?

    1. Kernanator

      Looking for guys who need to have their kneecaps broken.

  14. Rex Hondo

    Never let it be said that Sarah doesn’t have her priorities in order.

  15. Izzy

  16. Izzy

    …grrr Revised version!
    http://i1255.photobucket.com/albums/hh635/DoAedits/modded-1.jpg

    1. TheBenenator

      …I liked the first one better, looked like she was just wearing short-shorts.

      Even if the sweater+short-shorts combo was odd by itself, it was more likely to be a thing.

    2. Plasma Mongoose

      I should have expected that kind of edit from you Izzy, for some reason I thought you were going to just expand Ruth’s arse with the Liquify tool.

      1. Izzy

        Liquefy tool? What’s that? What program is that in?

  17. Dave McCoy

    The hell is up with Ruth’s feet?

    1. Izzy

      Slippers

  18. Joe

    I’m starting to think that Sarah doesn’t like Billie.
    Just a hunch.

  19. Lis

    darn I thought this would go on longer.

  20. narmenduke

    I love the look on Billie’s face in the last panel.

  21. Raiser

    Regarding “Why is she in the men’s dorms?”:

    As posited by Ruth roughly two pages ago, Billie is using the men’s dorm elevator to avoid her. This implies the two dorms are connected in some way.

    It well may be that Sarah is of the mind that if her destination is closer to the men’s elevator than the women’s, why not use that one instead?

    1. thomas0comer

      It’s so that
      a: she can appear in this strip
      b: everything is set up for awkward confrontations in the man-vator later on

  22. Legasher

    Maybe Sarah is avoiding everyone, not just Ruth. I bet it’s her daily route, and she only runs into the mains on an extra drama day, like today.

  23. WhiteEyedCat

    Sarah looks so cute in this strip, she should not frown more often.

  24. Jenny Creed

    Looks like somebody got lost on the way to Blood Sport College.

    Which is totally a thing I didn’t make up right now.
