    Nothing can help start a new friendship quite like mutual blackmail!

    Also, I’m especially liking Billie’s image in the upper fourth panel. I’m not exactly sure why.

    About as close to admiting they either of them are wrong as either with get. Accept what you got Billie and leave. At least there is no blood on the floor.

        Only if you have a Gravatar and change it. When I’m tired of an avatar, I just change my fake, gibberish email address, and a new avatar is randomly assigned. That avatar is forever tied to all the comments made with that email address. This comment will always have a furious Galasso avatar, unless Willis decides to replace the existing avatars.

    One of my friends in college once didn’t turn a blind eye to his own alcohol infractions. That was my fault… I pointed out that he was the RA, so it was his job to write up underage drinkers… and he was underage and drinking. Had drunk enough, in fact, that he thought that writing himself up sounded like a good plan. Turned it in to the RD and everything… whose response was, “… I’m going to put this in my drawer where it’ll be safe, and you won’t give me any trouble at all for the rest of the semester, right?”

      It’s a good thing they have casual observers around to point out the obvious plan.

    Ruth, sweetie, pointing out that Billie couldn’t have gotten that evidence without breaking into your room when she hasn’t yet realized that you couldn’t have gotten your evidence without breaking into *her* room is maybe not the best idea.

    But then she’s not exactly a *competent* criminal.

      RAs are allowed to do inspections with a master key if they suspect tomfoolery. At least we were when I was one, back in the ’90s.
