    i think i know where this is going

    1. SkepticJ

      Joyce becomes $20 richer?

      1. Aizat

        And 20% cooler?

        1. SkepticJ

          After watching cartoons with Ethan, perhaps she will pick some Rainbow Dash boots.

        2. narmenduke

          Joyce seems like more of a Fluttershy gal.

        3. Historyman68

          I’d say more Pinkie Pie- you saw how she owned at board games at that party?

          Or maybe Twilight, since she’d totally follow a manual to throw a sleepover party.

          Either way, Walky’s definitely Spike.

        4. narmenduke

          Hmm…you may be right. She’s also much more outgoing than Fluttershy, although not quite the ball of energy that Pinkie Pie is.

          Yeah, Walky’s definitely Spike.

        5. Historyman68

          And Billie’s like Pinky because she loves to party, but she’s like Rartiy because she’s such a snob who thinks she’s better than anyone else…

          Dammit Willis, your characters are more complex than ponies.

        6. Kep

          Actually Rarity isn’t a snob at all, not sure where you got that. Maybe you’re comparing her to Veronica because she’s the fashion girl?

        7. SkepticJ

          She is the spirit of generosity, after all.

        8. narmenduke

          Yeah, I don’t think she’s a snob, she just doesn’t like getting dirty and is a bit obsessed with looking nice.

          I see Billie as a Rainbow Dash, honestly, due to her desire to be the best (in this case, be part of the best social circles), and her brash personality.

        9. historyman68

          Hmm, that’s true.
          Maybe I’m attributing some characteristics to her that aren’t in the show itself. And I’m a big Rarity fan, have been since Suited for Success.

        10. Zoey

          “Dammit Willis, your characters are more complex than ponies.”

          hahahaah XD

        11. LuckyStar7

          DAMMIT IM WATCHING MY LITTLE PONY RIGHT NOW !!!
          And I think Billie would be more likely to choose Rainbow Dash
          boots because they’re both so reckless with their bodies.

  2. Jen Aside

    Translation: “Daddy BUYS my love!”

    [share the love]

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      I wish I had someone to buy my love, ideally from another country.

    2. gangler

      Is that translation or just paraphrasing?

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        Either that or he is using one heck of a Bablefish-like program.

  3. Mister Mercy

    I want money for thanking people

    1. Yotomoe

      I want thanks for moneying people

      1. Mister Mercy

        I’ll give a down payment of one thank you, then after you money me, I’ll thank you some more

      2. Plasma Mongoose

        I want people for money thanks.

        1. Yotomoe

          try 1700s America. You won’t be dissapointed.

    2. Vincent

      I want money for nothing (and the chicks for free).

  4. SalmonLeap

    Billie’s blushing as she’s waving that $20. Is she going to go all ‘Magic Mike’ on Joyce?

    1. SalmonLeap

      Upon closer examination, she always has a bit of red under her glasses. Nuts.

    2. Wonder Wig

      If Mike was in Magic Mike, when he came on stage he would just stand there, fully clothed, and 20 pounds heavier.

    3. Yotomoe

      Mike went all “magic mike” on your mom for a nickel

      1. Wonder Wig

        Your mom gave Mike a nickel for a pearl necklace.

        1. Yotomoe

          Mike’s prices are low, and are only slightly higher than your mom’s standards. I say this to say that your mom’s a slut.

        2. Wonder Wig

          Mike made your mom feel pleasures that greatly surpassed those she had of being a mother or a faithful wife.

        3. Izzy

          Mike joed your mom.

  5. Cameron

    Anyone else having Animaniacs flashbacks right now?

    1. Khrene Cleaver

      Good Idea: Being friends with Billie at the Mall.

      Bad Idea: Being friends with Walky at the Mall.

      1. Cameron

        I was thinking more the “Here, have a bag of money.” line.

      2. Jackson

        Alternately…

        Good Idea: Being friends with Billie at the Mall.

        Bad Idea: Being friends with Billie at a Roz DeSanto Party.

    2. Arturo

      Yes. Not just for this though. All the time.

  6. Yotomoe

    Billie…put that Faz face away and never put it back on

    1. Aizat

      You mean her happy face?

    2. Valdrax

      Billie is the greatest at being friends.

  7. Wonder Wig

    In the second panel I thought slender man was following them.

    1. Yotomoe

      Doesn’t this College Mall look eerily dark and unattended? Where are all the teenagers!?

      1. Aizat

        *static* If you hear this message, then they are already here. Whatever you do, don’t startle the…..ARGH!!! THEY’RE BREAKING THROUGH THE DOOR. SOMEONE, GET THE SHOTGU*static*

        1. Aizat

          *static* Ignore the first message. Everything is just fine. Come on in adn try our finest selection of…*zombie voice*BRAINS!

      2. Kitsuki Noriyuki

        have you been to a college mall? seriously the last one I went to was sad and devoid of almost anyone.

  8. Sensedog

    Billie’s explanation in the third panel is not surprising at all. Go figure.

  9. Aegon01

    Wow. Me and Billie have something in common.

    1. Yotomoe

      wow! you two DO look similar.

    2. Valdrax

      You’re both cheap with gifts?

      1. Ziaheart

        Oh, we don’t know that yet. Who knows how much the boots will cost, and who knows if Billie won’t back out of the agreement after all?

        1. Aydr

          Cheap? Quite the opposite. She’s probably gonna insist on good boots and those are damn pricey.

      2. Aegon01

        I meant the emotionally stunted Dad showing love through wads of cash. But okay.

        1. Aydr

          I thought you meant implants.

  10. PSychoti

    yes! my billiexjoyce dreams are slowly being confirmed!

    1. Khrene Cleaver

      Well I dunno is it really shipping is Billie is nothing but a Sugar Daddy?

  11. Yotomoe

    so does this mean that she’s…a Billie-naire!?
    ohohohohoho

    1. Aizat

      So, she could easily get a Billie-ion?

      1. Khrene Cleaver

        Shes definatley rich enough to own a Billie-ard board

    2. Plasma Mongoose

      I’ll buy that for a dollar Bill-ie.

  12. Sock

    Prostitution always starts innocent enough…

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      It does? That’s news to me.

      1. gangler

        Well sure. One day you’re getting paid for your services and the next you’re getting paid for your services. Nobody ever talks about what a slippery slope a job can be. It’s like the gateway payment. They get you hooked on food and shelter and then you’ll do anything to feed your addiction.

  13. Doctor_Who

    Billie’s popularity in high school is now clear. “There’s the chick who will buy you things for attention! Let’s be her friend!”

    1. Aizat

      “And maybe we could get into her pants”

      1. Yotomoe

        well for that you can either complment her a couple times or catch her doing her party phase

  14. WhiteEyedCat

    Isn’t that how everybody makes friends?

    1. Aizat

      Pay people to be friends? Never thought of that.

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        Why pay when you can blackmail?

        1. Aizat

          I find dangling someone from the roof tops a good way to make friends.

  15. HollaHollaTwentyDolla

    Before actually reading the comic, I saw the twenty and immediately thought Billie pulled it out of her boobs

    1. ryan

      the twenty is awfully wrinkled…

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        Americans still make dollar notes out of paper right?

  16. Maritza Campos

    Holy crap. I think I sprained something laughing

  17. macbone

    Willis, just an aside to say your QC comic was glorious!

    1. Quantum Polagnus

      ^This^ I nearly sh*t myself laughing!

      1. Quantum Polagnus

        … reffering, ofc, to the QC comic.

  18. Hnau

    Man, I really need to make friends with some people like Billie.

  19. Nav

    I feel as though I have in my possession the precursor to your QC guest strip. I seem to recall you drawing a sketch of Faye’s ass when I asked for quote: “Your favorite webcomic character that you didn’t create.” I think Jeph then responded with a sketch of YOUR ass… God that was a weird weekend.

  20. turkishproverb

    I think I want billie’s dad.

    1. Luke

      Mike does not want. Mike uses pleasure to cause pain.

      To clarify, your comment and the Mike gravatar made me remember the… incident between him and… what’s-his-face… the gay dude. Ethan, that’s his name.

  21. Dahlia

    *facepalm* Congrats to Billie. I didn’t think it was actually possible to make giving someone money look like throwing unwanted bread crumbs their way.

  22. liquidcruelty

    Your QC guest strip is the best QC strip by a very wide margin, and I say this as someone that kind of reads QC (for some reason)

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      It was done in the best possible taste. 😀

      1. cdotsq

        yes, I too did not scream “What the actual fuck” for several hours straight.

    2. dethtoll

      Yeah I gotta say the only QC I’ve laughed this hard at was the one RKM did yesterday.

    3. Saru

      I actually enjoy QC…Willis’ comic was pretty glorious, however.

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        It caused a shitstorm of comments that is for sure.

  23. GenericScreenName101

    Three things:
    #1. …Billien that is not what it means to be paying a compliment
    #2. Where were you keeping that crumplied up $20
    #3. What kind of jobs have you had in the past where you kept $20s in you bra (persumably)

  24. Steven

    Willis you may seem like you’re recovered by having classy comics over here but I see what you did to Jacques’ webcomic. You’re just pushing your Butts Disease elsewhere.

    1. Raoullefere

      Looked to me like Pintsize didn’t even have to push; all seemed to be flowing freely, like Ketchup on a bun. Perhaps Willis needs more ketchup with its natural mellowing agents*. So does Mike.

      *Brought to you by the Ketchup Advisory Board.

    2. Arturo

      Look, we all saw it. Let’s just all move on with our lives and never speak of it again.

  25. Tenn

    My reaction to Billie’s behavior:

    “…Um.”

    My reaction to QC guest strip:

    “It’s a flying metal butt. Well, of course butts are superior to robots. Yeah, especially if they’re shaped like lady butts. Wtf PFFFFFFHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAH!”

    And here I was afraid “disgusting” was just hyperbole! 😀

  26. trevalyan

    The best part about the guest comic is where Marten’s look of complete, utter shame is implied in the last panel. Doesn’t stop him from doing it, though. The butt’s majesty is simply too much for any other outcome.

  27. Gneiss

    David Willis is probably the only webcomic artist who has drawn flying butts crapping on people not once, but twice.

    1. David

      At least four times, including that one time I drew one in somebody’s book in a con.

      1. begbert2

        Well, I now know the subject of Lawsome: Season 2.

  28. Boom

    Put it in her shirt! Bow Chicka Wow Wow!

  29. begbert2

    Panel 3 Billie….that shadow angle flatters her, to be sure. 0_0

  30. Citizen Phoenix

    *Cues the Beatles*

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      Buy Me Love!

  31. Raen

    Something about the punchline is disturbing on a level I can’t articulate.

    1. narmenduke

      Billie just remarked that her father is so emotionally stunted that he can only show her love by giving her money. Then she seemed to show affection for Joyce by giving her a twenty. Implying that she is similarly emotionally screwed up.

  32. Jererry

    Wow. That QC content was disturbing. Why does that always happen with Jeph’s gust strips.

    1. Melizza

      The name of it IS questionable content. So I suppose its sensible that people would question it

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        It certainly lived up(or down as the case may be) to its name when Willis gave QC that comic.

    2. Gneiss

      I do find it interesting that like 90% of QC guest strips involve Pintsize plotting world domination. I guess guest writers really like Pintsize.

  33. cwDeici

    Those wads of cash must be like 100s!

  34. Angrymang

    Or over 9000.

  35. Angrymang

    Awww, man, my avatar is Joe?!

  36. Kernanator

    I don’t know if anyone else noticed this, but I just realized that Billie also described her relationship with Joyce just now.
