Ah yes, almost forgot that. Mind you, lifting heavy items (such as lifting human sized & weighted lumps) can cause wardrobe shifting too. Again, potential lower layer count opportunity…
According to the Maple Leafs, they were named in honour of the Maple Leaf regiment that fought in WW1. In this case “Maple Leaf” would be a proper noun, and as such pluralizes to “Maple Leafs” rather than “Maple Leaves.”
Or you could look at it as a headless compound. A maple leaf is a kind of leaf, and so follows the normal pluralization of ‘leaf’ to ‘leaves’. A Maple Leaf is a kind of regiment or a kind of hockey team (not a leaf) and so regularizes to ‘leafs’.
See, this alone would keep me from being a fan of this team. I can’t in good conscience refer to them as the Maple Leafs as opposed to the Maple Leaves.
That’s what bugs you? I’m having a hard time buying four students at an Indiana college are interested in a Canadian team. Sure, I can see one jersey-wearing supporter, but three more living on the same floor with enough knowledge to discuss them?
A Canadian team in the sport of hockey, though. If they’re sports fans of any kind then they’re likely to have some awareness of at least the Maple Leafs and the Canadiens.
I’m aware of them, but I couldn’t tell you if they’re any good or comment on their fan bases. Maybe it’s just because I live in South Carolina. The nearest team plays at least 3.5 hours away (Hurricanes). I recall there used to be a team in Atlanta (also 3.5 hours) but I couldn’t tell you if they’re still there.
Also remember, Toronto is considered one of the “Original Six” teams in hockey. They have a fanbase similar in size to say… Yankees/Red Sox in baseball or Green Bay in Football. Being around as long as they have also gives them the advantage of easily having numerous fans that transcend borders.
Yeah, but even here in the UK, Celtic is pronounced “Kell Tic” when talking about the Celtic people. But the association football team in the Scottish Premier is Glasgow Celtic (“Sell Tic”). So that one breaks the rules in both countries.
I used to pronounce it “sell tic”, but only because I never heard anybody discuss this and I assumed “cel” should be read exactly as it is when used in “cel shading” or “bacterial cell”.
Now, after years of talking to people who know their Celtic history, I know better.
‘Celtic’ has been pronounced both ways centuries prior to the basketball team, so I don’t think they get the credit for that one. It has nothing to do with the United States, either.
UK pronunciations that I’ve heard are initial /s/ for Celtic FC and an initial /k/ for everything else – the language group, art style, etc. The former is consistent with French pronunciation, which in turn is what you’d expect from the sound shifts between classical Latin and French; apparently the /k/ in modern English is a C19th affectation.
First time poster here, but I feel like I should chime in. I’m a linguist and I study the Cornish language, a small Celtic tongue in southwestern Britain (in Cornwall). Traditionally, “sell-tik” has been the dominant pronunciation for the term. It was first applied to peoples in England and Ireland by linguists, describing a language family, and it was a “sell” sound (the term was invented by a linguist named Edward Lhuyd drawing from Roman writings). The Americans (of which I am one!) pronounced it “Kel-tik” because of differences in American and British spellings that led them to read it differently. Because of the dominance of American English globally post-WWII (and especially of the popularity of the Celtics basketball team in the 1980s), the American pronunciation crossed over the Atlantic and made some inroads into Britain.
Ugh. So much for writing in a hurry. Reverse all the “sell” and “Kel” I wrote above. “Sell” is obviously American, “Kel” is British. Beyond that, everything else I said was correct.
I have been waiting so long for hilarious sports-team-based sitcom misunderstandings! My life has been incomplete ever since “Hillary Misunderstands Sports Teams” went off the air in the mid-to-late nineties!
She probably is wearing panties; the shirt/jersey just hangs so low as to cover them. Imagine if Rachel were wearing the jersey instead of her pink top — it would drape low enough to cover the shorts she is wearing too.
They’re quite well off financially. Part of the reasons the Leafs will never do well is that they sell out every game despite having the highest ticket prices in the league. So they’re raking in the cash, with zero incentive to spend it on better players. If people will pay to see them lose, why bother trying?
Fun story, I was at last Monday’s game and it was the first time since they opened the ACC that they didn’t sell out. Still a better defeat than most games and almost convincing that they aren’t throwing the season on purpose.
As a Canadian who’s from somewhere other than Ontario, I completely support any and all jokes made at the expense of the Leafs, or Toronto for that matter.
From what Sal has seen Billie has been behaving weird since she first came to college. (and to be fair, boffing the RA and drinking is not any weirder than knobbing the TA and drinking).
The thing that really should be noticed about Billie (and that Walky has noticed) is just how badly she is doing. Her alcoholism is spiraling out of control, her social life is in tatters and the one good things that has happened to her is a relationship with someone who is suicidal and in just as bad a place as herself, a relationship she can’t even let people know about.
Sadly, I don’t think Sal will notice – or at least not allow herself to notice how badly it is and act upon it.
Sal has acknowledged worry at not seeing Billie around very often, but I imagine that most of the time her reaction to that is ‘Sweet, no annoying person I’ve been forced to know all my life’.
Wooooooow. If Mary wants to be the one to use their relationship against them she’d better hurry up and get to the blackmailing or whatever because they are going to get busted so bad any minute now.
“Because I stole it from Ruthless & claimed it as my own. As payback. And cause I’m a massive Leafs fan….”
“But you were just dissing them-”
“Yeah, that’s how I roll. Later loosers…”
For being a head cheer leader and alpha bongo Billie really is a bad liar. Wow – she’s really toots for real in love with Ruth for her to be this off her game.
Billie activated my trap card, its called intelligence drain. It forces my enemy to walk outside in something that isn’t theirs, while being in relationship that they are trying to keep hidden.
Maybe not wear JUST your RA’s shirt out in the hall? You could pass off the RA’s shirt by saying something had happened to yours and you demanded that Ruth give you one to wear. But that is CLEARLY a “I just fucked my RA” style you have going on. Luckily you ran into a group of people who have chosen not to think on it too hard because they literally do not care.
If you had run into Mary…goddamn.
Or even Joyce or Becky! Well I guess maybe not JUST Becky. Becky would have to wait for Joyce’s reaction to catch on.
Hmm. On the one hand, I want to mock you, because it would be funny. On the other hand, I remember what it was like when my team sucked, and the Leafs are the only Canadian team whose name I consistently remember (not much of a sports fan) so I tend to root for them by default.
…have a digitally delivered friendly shoulder-punch?
Are you kidding? The home of the Indianoplace Dolts, the Indiana Hosers, the Indiana Displacers and, most importantly, Perdon’t University? It’s the Leafs in Hockey and the Cubs in baseball. Of course.
There is not an option to see a bisexual three-way between Danny, Amber/Amazigirl, and Ethan with Ethan and Amber being the bread to a Danny Sandwich. Though I may be in a vast minority, I would look upon this kindly if this were rectified. Thank you, a good day, and I love your work.
True, true, Ethan wouldn’t be a piece of bread, he’d be the filling.
I do agree though, I don’t think this would be a canonical thing that happened. I don’t see Ethan wanting to have sex with a woman, and I don’t see Amber wanting this to happen at all. As for Danny…man I don’t know. He’s too confused right now for me to have a good grasp on what he would actually be okay with.
It’s entirely possible to wake up drunk. It’s not so much about how much you drank the night before: it’s how much you drank for many many nights before.
My ex managed this trick often in the final years we were together. It gets hard to tell when a dedicated drinker is drunk, many navigate just fine while completely hungover/drunk-enough so to go to work every day and carry on like almost normal. (see above).
Dad says that’s the difference between a Habs fan and a Leafs fan. Habs fans root for their team, but mostly they just wanna see how far they get this year. We know the Habs aren’t one of the major players. Leafs fans though, every year they’re convinced that this is gonna be the year they win The Stanley Cup.
So if the next slipshine will be Sal and Jason, will it line up with the story, or do you think it will just be one of the times that Sal and Jason got it on?
Loading ...
Smooth, Billie.
She’s still high on Ruth loving.
Oh wait, I’m not wearing my Leafs pants, am I?
Guess she better hope the spare key isn’t on TOP of the door frame, or people might find out how many lower layers she’s actually wearing…
Don’t worry, Sal is probably still passed out in front of the door.
Ah yes, almost forgot that. Mind you, lifting heavy items (such as lifting human sized & weighted lumps) can cause wardrobe shifting too. Again, potential lower layer count opportunity…
And alcohol, sadly
But Ruthie-lovin’ will give her a bigger and longer-lasting high than the alcohol.
Not least because alcohol doesn’t give a high, it’s a downer. xD
“High” is a subjective term and I believe there are many people who would argue that alcohol does, in fact, give them what could be called a “high.”
For you perhaps. I get pretty damn happy on alcohol.xD
I get happy AND sleepy.
Billie Jean’s a smooth criminal.
…………..sorry
oh my god
But she isn’t wearing any pants!
GO LEAFS… Leaves? Leeeeefs?
Leaves is the correct pluralization of the word, but team names laugh in the face of correctness.
Leafs is a verb , hough.
According to the Maple Leafs, they were named in honour of the Maple Leaf regiment that fought in WW1. In this case “Maple Leaf” would be a proper noun, and as such pluralizes to “Maple Leafs” rather than “Maple Leaves.”
Hmm. True, but I wasn’t arguing whether the pluralization was correct. I was just idly remarking that the improper “leafs” is in fact a real word.
Well done!
Or you could look at it as a headless compound. A maple leaf is a kind of leaf, and so follows the normal pluralization of ‘leaf’ to ‘leaves’. A Maple Leaf is a kind of regiment or a kind of hockey team (not a leaf) and so regularizes to ‘leafs’.
See, this alone would keep me from being a fan of this team. I can’t in good conscience refer to them as the Maple Leafs as opposed to the Maple Leaves.
*though
As in, “she leafs through the copy of Gulliver’s Travels on the window-seat.”
Like “celtic” is pronounced “kell tic”, but the basketball team is “sell tix”.
That one still bugs me. The Leafs get a pass, but the Celtics’ fans have yet to provide me a satisfactory explanation.
That’s what bugs you? I’m having a hard time buying four students at an Indiana college are interested in a Canadian team. Sure, I can see one jersey-wearing supporter, but three more living on the same floor with enough knowledge to discuss them?
A Canadian team in the sport of hockey, though. If they’re sports fans of any kind then they’re likely to have some awareness of at least the Maple Leafs and the Canadiens.

They are not.
Also remember, Toronto is considered one of the “Original Six” teams in hockey. They have a fanbase similar in size to say… Yankees/Red Sox in baseball or Green Bay in Football. Being around as long as they have also gives them the advantage of easily having numerous fans that transcend borders.
wait, you pronounce that “kell tic” in the US ? <_<;
I don’t but, eh.
Some of us do.
Yeah, but even here in the UK, Celtic is pronounced “Kell Tic” when talking about the Celtic people. But the association football team in the Scottish Premier is Glasgow Celtic (“Sell Tic”). So that one breaks the rules in both countries.
I used to pronounce it “sell tic”, but only because I never heard anybody discuss this and I assumed “cel” should be read exactly as it is when used in “cel shading” or “bacterial cell”.

‘Celtic’ has been pronounced both ways centuries prior to the basketball team, so I don’t think they get the credit for that one. It has nothing to do with the United States, either.
At least they’re honest about it, the other teams just want to sell tix too…
UK pronunciations that I’ve heard are initial /s/ for Celtic FC and an initial /k/ for everything else – the language group, art style, etc. The former is consistent with French pronunciation, which in turn is what you’d expect from the sound shifts between classical Latin and French; apparently the /k/ in modern English is a C19th affectation.

Ugh. So much for writing in a hurry. Reverse all the “sell” and “Kel” I wrote above. “Sell” is obviously American, “Kel” is British. Beyond that, everything else I said was correct.
Maybe it’s purpose-based pronunciation. After all, the sports team is there, in the end, to “sell tix”.
go celtics! #bleedgreen
I don’t know how to write this phonetically, but my daughter
used to say;
Never forget, it’s the Hunchback of Notre Daame (looking for short
“a” sound) and the Quarterback of Notre Dame (long “a” sound.)
It’s pronounced “leev-zay”
I like your avatar alot.
I like your comment alot.
No, it’s prounced Dee-na
Leaves if you’re talking about foliage. Leafs if you’re talking about hockey players.
Yes, that.
If you’re talking about the Leafs, you’re not talking about hockey players.
OHHHHHHHHHH
*pretends to know about sports simply to acknowledge burn”
This is like ‘dwarfs’ if you’re talking about small humans, ‘dwarves’ if you’re talking about fantasy races.
Yeah, don’t talk about grammar to a Leafs fan.
Or hockey, either.
Why was Billy a cheerleader in high school? She should have been in drama club with those acting skills!
Well she is majoring in…theater…now, so I guess that’s been fixed.
I love this comment so much
She’s a thespian.
Hips, lips, all the same rhythm.
Did she move ALL of her clothes?
Apparently?
No, just the ones she thinks she should be wearing.
I can’t read “leafs” without twitching.
Billie’s been a diehard Leafs fan for what a week now?
More like seven seconds than seven days.
I believe she’s a Leafs fan fan
this
Oh man, I love hilarious sports-team-based sitcom misunderstandings!
I’m also loving the new direction Willis is taking with this comic, I think it will really be a change for the better!
Billie without pants isn’t exactly a new direction, but I’m still in favor of it.
I have been waiting so long for hilarious sports-team-based sitcom misunderstandings! My life has been incomplete ever since “Hillary Misunderstands Sports Teams” went off the air in the mid-to-late nineties!
As long as the comic doesn’t turn into ‘Coach’ or ‘The White Shadow’.
And now we know why she’s not wearing pants in the new character model.
She probably is wearing panties; the shirt/jersey just hangs so low as to cover them. Imagine if Rachel were wearing the jersey instead of her pink top — it would drape low enough to cover the shorts she is wearing too.
ah, the maple laughs
Ah, it’s a good thing you don’t have to worry about reality contradicting this and screwing up the sliding timescale any time soon.
But what if the Maple Leafs go belly up? WHAT THEN?
Well, they haven’t yet, have they?
They’re quite well off financially. Part of the reasons the Leafs will never do well is that they sell out every game despite having the highest ticket prices in the league. So they’re raking in the cash, with zero incentive to spend it on better players. If people will pay to see them lose, why bother trying?
I see. Apropos of nothing, this would also be a fitting description of US politics. And that’s depressing.
Fun story, I was at last Monday’s game and it was the first time since they opened the ACC that they didn’t sell out. Still a better defeat than most games and almost convincing that they aren’t throwing the season on purpose.
“Still, a better defeat than most” sounds SO much like a Leafs fan
More like stoma up, AM I RIGHT BOTANISTS?
… I’ll show myself out.
Hahaha this is the best comment here.
Man Billie is lacking in common sense, eh?
And pants!
She may not have pants on, but I would argue they’re not lacking. Billie gams is nice gams.
I wasn’t even noting those (not that you’re wrong) but I’m always happy to applaud freedom from the tyrrany of pants.
And pants.
This is perfect.
Pants are over-rated anyhow…
She might just be lacking in coffee.
As a Canadian who’s from somewhere other than Ontario, I completely support any and all jokes made at the expense of the Leafs, or Toronto for that matter.
As a Canadian from Ontario but not Toronto I fully agree.
As not even a Canadian, jokes about the Leafs are always funny.
I can’t beleaf you just said that.
Billie is the chief suspect to be the Maple Leaf Jersey Theif
You call that a jersey? It’s just a maple leaf rag.
*plays Joni Mitchell’s “Raised On Robbery” on the Muzak*
Billie needs to make like a tree…and get out of that hallway!
You made the joke I was gonna make… but you got to it first fair and square. I applaud you, sir.
You made like a Maple Leaf – and failed.
This strip brings up the question of whether Sal knows something is afoot with Billie. Of course it’s entirely possible Sal doesn’t care.
From what Sal has seen Billie has been behaving weird since she first came to college. (and to be fair, boffing the RA and drinking is not any weirder than knobbing the TA and drinking).
Yeah, Sal definitely can’t play the high ground card here. Not that she’d want to anyway.
The thing that really should be noticed about Billie (and that Walky has noticed) is just how badly she is doing. Her alcoholism is spiraling out of control, her social life is in tatters and the one good things that has happened to her is a relationship with someone who is suicidal and in just as bad a place as herself, a relationship she can’t even let people know about.
Sadly, I don’t think Sal will notice – or at least not allow herself to notice how badly it is and act upon it.
Sal has acknowledged worry at not seeing Billie around very often, but I imagine that most of the time her reaction to that is ‘Sweet, no annoying person I’ve been forced to know all my life’.
Speaking of which, she may just find Sal in front of her door.
Well, given what she said to her and Marcie, I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s figured out some of it by now
I’m pretty sure when the big reveal happens, everybody on the floor is going to say they already knew.
Awwww. Poor Mary will be so disappointed.
Wooooooow. If Mary wants to be the one to use their relationship against them she’d better hurry up and get to the blackmailing or whatever because they are going to get busted so bad any minute now.
True, they really don’t need any help.
…well, you know what I mean.
Hey if thats yours how come it has Ruth’s name on the tag?
“Because I stole it from Ruthless & claimed it as my own. As payback. And cause I’m a massive Leafs fan….”
“But you were just dissing them-”
“Yeah, that’s how I roll. Later loosers…”
For being a head cheer leader and alpha bongo Billie really is a bad liar. Wow – she’s really toots for real in love with Ruth for her to be this off her game.
Go leafs.
I get the sense that Billie was never really all that great at being alpha bongo in the first place.
I think she was pretty much the stereotypical type. She just didn’t need to lie to pull it off.
Hangoveeeeer powered.
Too much hooch and hockey will disorient anyone.
Also, boobs.
And poon, lots and lots of poon.
And booze.
I said that already. Booze is hooch…
They DID bring a bottle each….
I think this partially explains how confused Billie is. She woke up in a state of tipsiness, rather than the typical hangover.
Woke up drunk? How much would she need to drink in order for her body to be unable to metabolize most of it overnight?
A sufficient amount over an extended period of time, and both she and Ruth had their own bottle, so….I’d say she had a sufficient amount.
She doesn’t have any of the signs of being drunk Willis draws her with.
Oh man, I wasn’t even thinking about poon, now I am. Damn. Which way is up?
I can’t believe no one has said “hooch and cooch” yet.
Actually I can, otherwise I wouldn’t have said it myself.
Those wacky leafs fans, always forgetting where they are going and wandering around without pants. Their home games are the best.
Personally I prefer their closet games. Though technically they’re also home games I prefer to think of it as a subway series.
BWAHAHAHAHA
Keep on truckin Billie.
Billie activated my trap card, its called intelligence drain. It forces my enemy to walk outside in something that isn’t theirs, while being in relationship that they are trying to keep hidden.
Really, it’s a wonder they even made a card that’s such a hard counter to drunken masters.
#mixednerdreferences
Hey, Billie, you should try, “I’m wearing it ironically. To piss Ruth off.”
Unironically, passing yourself off as a hipster by saying that would only cause Billie to lose even more social status.
Still less of a loss of face than posing as a Leafs fan.
She should have just claimed that she chose the jersey for its looks rather than any kind of team loyalty.
“Leafs? I thought this was an Avalon jersey.”
Or “I swiped it from that bongo RA’s room, now we’re even!” Since that’s the cover story, I mean.
I wonder how many people are typing in “bongo” deliberately instead of the word that gets masked by bongo.
You’ll know when you start seeing spellings like “bogno” and “bgono”.
Of all the times for Mary not to show up.
BILLIE YOU IDIOT.
Maybe not wear JUST your RA’s shirt out in the hall? You could pass off the RA’s shirt by saying something had happened to yours and you demanded that Ruth give you one to wear. But that is CLEARLY a “I just fucked my RA” style you have going on. Luckily you ran into a group of people who have chosen not to think on it too hard because they literally do not care.
If you had run into Mary…goddamn.
Or even Joyce or Becky! Well I guess maybe not JUST Becky. Becky would have to wait for Joyce’s reaction to catch on.
Nah, Becky’d just be like: “HA! I knew it was a secret girlfriend. High five!”

I was a little worried that she was seen by Mary until I saw the freckles and knew it was Rachel.
I have had mornings like this. Billie has all my sympathies.
As a person from Toronto…
Boooo This Billie!
Hmm. On the one hand, I want to mock you, because it would be funny. On the other hand, I remember what it was like when my team sucked, and the Leafs are the only Canadian team whose name I consistently remember (not much of a sports fan) so I tend to root for them by default.
…have a digitally delivered friendly shoulder-punch?
SMOOOOTHHHHHH
whups.. though honestly I don’t see either of those two remotel carrying as long as they themselves didn’t get in trouble or something
So what exactly is the team of choice for Hoosiers? Bloomington looks nearly equidistant from Chicago, Columbus, St. Louis, and Nashville.
Are you kidding? The home of the Indianoplace Dolts, the Indiana Hosers, the Indiana Displacers and, most importantly, Perdon’t University? It’s the Leafs in Hockey and the Cubs in baseball. Of course.
What a silly Billie…
“Oh, so you’re a Redskins fan?”
“Yup.”
“But don’t you–”
“Nope.”
“Of course I like the leafs….girlfriend gives me victory sex!”
I’d feel bad for anyone whose sex life is based on that particular metric.
Billie and Ruth are more into the defeat sex, so it works out.
De-feet sex? I didn’t realize they were that kinky.
Well, that doesn’t happen very often…
Must be a platonic relationship…
Way to be stealthy, genius.
So, given the title of this storyline… Things could get a bit worse considering the Billie & Ruth plot.
I have issue with your poll good sir!!
There is not an option to see a bisexual three-way between Danny, Amber/Amazigirl, and Ethan with Ethan and Amber being the bread to a Danny Sandwich. Though I may be in a vast minority, I would look upon this kindly if this were rectified. Thank you, a good day, and I love your work.
Willis’ slipshines are canon so he doesn’t draw things that will never happen.
True, true, Ethan wouldn’t be a piece of bread, he’d be the filling.
I do agree though, I don’t think this would be a canonical thing that happened. I don’t see Ethan wanting to have sex with a woman, and I don’t see Amber wanting this to happen at all. As for Danny…man I don’t know. He’s too confused right now for me to have a good grasp on what he would actually be okay with.
In terms of a man man woman threesome.
It’s entirely possible to wake up drunk. It’s not so much about how much you drank the night before: it’s how much you drank for many many nights before.
My ex managed this trick often in the final years we were together. It gets hard to tell when a dedicated drinker is drunk, many navigate just fine while completely hungover/drunk-enough so to go to work every day and carry on like almost normal. (see above).
possible new gravatar/self-rendering, panel 4
Maybe Panel 5 Billie too. Hmmm, food for thought…
I actually heard a laugh track at the punchline.
“Some other folks who we know have canonically done it ”
vague enough, you have my vote.
All aboard the Rachel gets more development train!
Changing factions is hard.
I don’t know, I hear 1 Megsy did it. I’m guessing that’s not you?
Am I the only one who read the last panel as “Typical Lesbian.”
It was 4-1!
Damn you, Willis, for posting this the day after the Leafs beat the Sens!
Maple Leafs fan? Do they even exist?
I take it you’ve never been to Toronto. The hype train has no brakes.
They exist by the millions. I used to be one back in the ’60s.
Dad says that’s the difference between a Habs fan and a Leafs fan. Habs fans root for their team, but mostly they just wanna see how far they get this year. We know the Habs aren’t one of the major players. Leafs fans though, every year they’re convinced that this is gonna be the year they win The Stanley Cup.
I’d be happy if the Leafs just made the playoffs for once. But I am realistic…I know they suck.
the montréal canadiens are better
(and yes, in english it’s spelled canadiens instead of canadians because they’re from québec)
New variant of the walk of shame?
Just give Mary
John the BaptistRuth’s head on a platter why don’t you.Third panel Billie would make a nice gravatar. Reminds me of Looney Tunes.
Billie, you are adorbz.
Hey Ruth, I didn’t know you were a Dragon’s cheerleader.
Q: How can you tell Dumbing of Age takes place in “every year”?
A: The Leafs are losing.
So if the next slipshine will be Sal and Jason, will it line up with the story, or do you think it will just be one of the times that Sal and Jason got it on?
Billie: not good at plan.
Saved by sports fanatism.
We’re gearing up for another Mary appearance, aren’t we?
For some reason the lightheartedness of this page made me realize we never got to see Joe get lectured in class.
Can we get the second to last panel without the speech bubbles? Because it will look awesome.
I love love love Billie’s various expressions in this strip!
The heck? Either Sierra’s suddenly a couple of inches shorter, or Billie is wearing boots. …or it’s forced perspective.
Typical Leafs fan.
Rachel kind of looks like a darker-haired Dani from Rescue Bots. Or vise-versa.
SO much of this is true. About the Leaf’s fan stuff anyways…
