            My all time favourite Roseanne (Original Show) scene:

            DJ sitting on the couch pointing at Darlene saying “I’m not touching you.”
            Cut to the Kitchen and Dan sitting at the kitchen table.
            We here a *thump* followed by DJ whining, “Dad, I wasn’t touching her.”
            Dan replies, “Well it wasn’t worth it then, was it son?”

      He’s just being deliberately annoying because Billie is too rude to acknowledge any of her friends. How she still has any with that behavior is a mystery.

      Yeah, it seems creepy without the context that they’re practically surrogate siblings. Knowing that, this is a little brother nagging his sister about her crush.

      Naw, I think Walky’s just playing the Hardy Boys bro’ing it out for his sister. (Which is why “Night-Guy”, to make both Bro’s present). Meanwhile Billie’s all Nancy Drew-ing it up thinking she’s solving a mystery.

      I’m of the mind that Asher and Billie are a good couple.

      You know, despite the fact he’s very probably a murderer. Then again, this is just my hope that Ruth and Rachel will get together.

        I mean besides the potentially putting out a hit and the mob connections and collaborating with the dumbest kidnapping plot ever he’s been likeable enough.

        Superficially charmin’, at least

        I don’t think Asher will be of any help to Billie in dealing with her problems. More like reinforcing them or at best helping her pretend they’re not real.

        However dysfunctional they were, by the end Ruth and Billie were at least trying

          I get the vibe that Asher’s self improvement was genuine until he let Blaine torpedo it. I think you’re right more because the narrative will demand it than because it would be necessarily true for him irl.

            Even with the best take on him, I’d be surprised if he was ready to offer enough support (or perceptive enough to recognize the need) to actually be good for Billie.

            But then we don’t know him well and have no idea if this relationship has anything going for it other than the obvious superficial “hot guy with cool motorcycle and hot cheerleader”.

          Yeah, that thing where journalists report everything as present tense instead of past bugs me, too. And it is creeping into people’s speech (including, most annoyingly, mine).

          I know that English tenses as a small hand drum, but this is not going to be an improvement.

          I’m personally still in the “Asher didn’t give the order” camp myself, but honestly? Given the hints to his upbringing and everything that we’ve had, I wouldn’t hold it against him even if it was revealed that he gave the order.

              So much thisssssss. Blaine’s death is not just a net gain, it’s ALL gain. It improves things for literally everybody but Blaine, which is ALSO a gain.

              I’m also of the apparently controversial opinion (though fuck if I know why it’s controversial) that Amber’s mistake wasn’t in stabbing Ryan so many times but stopping at “ICU” instead of going all the way to “morgue”.

              It all depends on how and why. The implications more than the actual thing itself.
              What does it say about his current relationship with the family? Or about him going along with Blaine to start with?

                This I don’t feel upset or angry that Blaine was murdered but murdering a person or even a monster in human flesh is not a sign of being a safe person.

                That matters a lot for why he did it and the fallout but it doesn’t really affect me wanting to buy him treats for getting him killed.

    On the one hand, Walky can clearly be annoying, as evidenced by many strips. But on the other hand completely ignoring people, some of whom are like family to you, is also kind of a dick move too. Especially when considering the person you are dating has bad blood with those people.

    Idk, what’s everyone else’s take on this?

      The last time we saw Asher and Sal together, they had reached a (kinda) understanding.

      So really as far as Billie knows, the only person in the group who might have issues with Asher is Walky, and he’s a little annoying anyway.

      I mean yeah, meta-wise Asher is kinda bad news, but on the level of ‘guy I’m dating and pseudo-brother don’t necessary like each other’ is kind of… normal?

          Yeah, dating Asher is not great, but we have no idea why she has decided to completely ignore someone she considers a brother when they previously had a…good? relationship. I mean, at least they talked.
          (This being said by a woman who recently texted a friend “I had a dream with my brother in it last night, which is weird, because normally I forget he exists.”)

      Yeah I assume the icing Walky out has to do with Asher. Walky did punch him in the face, but iirc Asher admitted that he deserved it. I can imagine that she and Walky got in a fight over Asher (I don’t think Walky’s feelings towards Asher changed, and he said that being a better brother to Sal is important to him), and Billie decided to ignore him because of it. Orrrrr really any other reason.

        She also ignores the others who don’t behave like that.
        Billie is at least rude.

          Plus, in this instance, Walky only resorted to being annoying after Billie ignored him in panel 2…
          This looks a lot like the old Billie we glimpsed at some point: only talking to her “less cool” friends when she has absolutely no-one else to turn to, which is uncool at best, and downright rude when it gets to the point of willfully ignoring when they say hi…

      Since Walky and Billie are close enough that they have treated each other like brother and sister, I definitely think Billie is behaving much worse than Walky here. Walky is acting like an annoying sibling. Billie is choosing to completely ignore all of her friends.

      I’m guessing that Billie became progressively more and more toxic to Ruth’s recovery. It wouldn’t even surprise me if Ruth gave an ultimatum about Billie’s behaviour and she walked out in response. “Lost” is a bit inaccurate. “Gave up trying” is probably closer.

        This. Ruth realized she was heading down a very steep slope if she continued drinking and wanted to get better, but Billie still didn’t see it as a problem. (Either her own drinking, or Ruth’s.) Dating Billie would only have complicated Ruth’s recovery. Furthermore, Billie seems to have a thing for high-drama relationships, where they have heated fights and then equally heated make-up sessions. If that’s what she REALLY likes, you do you, but I get the feeling that that wasn’t what Ruth wanted deep down.

        And of course, there’s always the lingering unpleasantness in the past that Ruth basically manipulated Billie into the relationship in the first place.

        Both of them have deep-seated issues, and honestly, neither of them is likely to really get better while they’re with each other. It’s just disappointing that Billie left one unhealthy relationship only to run straight into the arms of another (possibly) problematic character. In fairness to Asher, he DID seem to be trying to clean up his act prior to Blaine’s attempt to blackmail him. Whether or not he’ll continue to try and walk the straight and narrow or continue to dip into the underworld to solve his problems when they arise is something we’ve yet to determine.

          I like how we just ignore Billie’s last pre-timeskip character development to reach these conclusions. That whole last arc for her was “I’m going to drive Ruth away because I’m poison. She’s not leaving. Okay then, I’m going to have to deal with my problems”. Thus the withdrawal she was going through.

    On the plus side, Asher clearly is good for her ego as it definitely looks in these last two strips like she lost the weight she gained during her depression.

    On the negative side, it’s Asher. It’s almost certainly bad, bad news

      I dunno, I’m really uncomfortable linking “Weight loss” with “Doing better” in any regards. Maybe with Asher, she’s more self conscious. Maybe she’s developed an eating disorder. We literally don’t know. Weight loss isn’t necessarily good news.

        I don’t disagree with you. I will say that everyone responds to things differently. Billie’s life as she knew it crashed and she responded with indulging every urge she had. The weight loss suggests a change of some sort. It could be of a good sort, but as you said it might not. Hell, I also suggested it might not as I don’t trust Asher to actually be good for anyone like her.

          Might have nothing really to do with Asher. Maybe Willis will confound our expectations and it’s Ruth who relapsed into drinking while Billie stayed sober and that’s why they broke up. Any weight loss might be tied to not drinking heavily.
          Asher just came along after the fact.

    Some people are really like ‘Billie is fine ignoring Walky’ like… he started with just calling her name and only escalated to annoying because she is ignoring him. Cause and effect, people. Billie ignoring Walky is causing him to be annoying to try to get her attention. She is not ignoring him because he is annoying.

    He literally stated that ‘we don’t rate eye contact any more’, indicating that it is not just him being ignored, and Billie has decided she is too cool for them. As well as that 1) they don’t have the proper reason why she has decided this (Walky was perfectly ready to spill that she was like this before when she was popular towards him, but this seems to be an escalation of that) and 2) the comment about Billie being elusive before combined with this indicates this isn’t a new development, she has been doing it for a while, she is actively avoiding and ignoring them.

    Now considering what we have previously seen… I don’t really understand why. But a piece of the problem is floating in the back of my mind: Billie’s self-esteem has often relied on being seen as attractive by boys. She was still seeking that in parties, in hangouts in groups, and generally, even with Ruth. That was a hangup she never fully dropped.

    I have a feeling that Billie didn’t drop Ruth, I feel like Ruth broke up with Billie for some reason, and they both started to try to act like their former selves. Billie of course then went with Hot Guy McHot and proceeded to drop and ignore her siblings entirely again. Like, though she ignored Walky before on purpose when trying to act like she still held status, she wasn’t particularly in contact with Sal either and it seems like they are back to that but more extreme. It’s making me consider that maybe Billie did make positive progress on her self-esteem… but it has only made it easier for her to ramp up her worst behaviours.

    So this is a sidenote but does the word “Babe” coming out of a male’s voice make anyone’ else’s skin crawl? I *hate* the sound of that word, it never doesn’t feel creepy/gross you know? And I don’t know why that reaction to the word is so instinctive to me either.

      Babe is enshrined within decades of musical tradition. So no, not really.

    Honestly, I saw this coming. Ruth made the mistake that many couples make in they assume that you can change your partner. Ruth wanted stability, a loving relationship, and a drama free life.

    Billie…wants nothing to do with any of that. She wants a drama angsty party lifetime and melodrama. Maybe even revels in her self-destructive habits and self-hatred.

    They really are better apart.

      Yeah—this also demonstrates well that true growth and change must be internally driven. Ruth wanted to be better on her own; Billie may have helped motivate or inspire her, but Ruth didn’t want it FOR her. Ruth and Billie argued about Billie’s issues a lot, but Billie never seemed motivated to fix any of them for any reason besides “for Ruth.” Thus, after the break-up, Ruth seems well-adjusted and changed for the better, while Billie…has no reason to be anything but who she was before.

    Billie always wanted to be the alpha cool kid. She was exposed as not really being that person, indeed probably never had. So, she’s handling that the only way she can: By blanking those who know the truth about her so that she can continue to win the illusion.

    Yes, Walky is being a pest but, given the transparent and selfish shallowness of Billie’s life choices he has the right to mock her. It might not be healthy, though. Billie may ask her ‘Babe’ to send a few of his boys over to teach him respect. That would be more-or-less in character too.

    I guess it’s a sign of good storytelling when you get upset at a comic author for changing something you like, such as in this case Ruth/Billie breaking up and the latter moving on to Asher.

    I haven’t but this put out by a webcomic since Tom over at Gunnerkrigg Court introduced Anne’s dad and he treated her like crap in his into story arc.

    Although he’s gotten slightly better since then, I still lump him in with Blaine as sucky father of the year award contenders.

    Random possible reason why Billie/Ruth broke up-they didn’t. Billie is pretending to date Asher now because during the time skip, someone uncovered Asher’s connection to everything that happened and there’s still a threat from Blaine’s former partners because of ‘X’. Billie and Ruth staged breaking up so she could work her way into Asher’s good graces and find out what’s going on. That’s why Ruth stopped herself when she yelled out ‘I didn’t lose Billie ‘ as it’s all a ploy.

    So, I haven’t been able to post in a while, because of health reasons, so I have a question about previous strips:

    Did the fact that the two girls Booster asked out were the ones with the more serious mental health issues ring alarm bells and raise red flags for anyone else, or was it just me?

      It might just be a case of like finding like more relatable. I tend towards neuro atypical/mental health/trauma partners not because I think it is deserved/destined/whatever, but it seems like there is a lot more compassion for your demons when someone has had an intimate run in with their own. There’s a lot of shared common ground and understanding. Obviously not seek those relationships over ones with nuerotypical persons overtly, but it does feel like my social group tends to gravitate that way. The risk load of backfire is also high, but its nice to have someone who gets it but doesn’t pity you for it and is able to fine tune the balance between knowing when someone needs help coping rather than being called out for a cop out. Exceptions abound everywhere, and everyone has those skills but it can be comfier to walk the world with someone who has seen your particular brand of hell.

      No, I also thought this was pretty weird, and going after one then immediately the other was also weird. Ofc booster was already being terrible in that series of strips.

    Supposition: Ruth, upon failing to get Billie to quit drinking/seeing Billie continue into alcoholism, got to the end of her rope and did what Sarah did: She told someone to try and make sure Billie got the help she needed.

    Billie views this as the deepest of betrayals.

      Hmmm. I think Billie was actually good-faith quitting drinking this time, like, for actual, but you might be onto something—Ruth might’ve pushed her towards continuing with therapy beyond what Billie wanted, which might contribute to feeling like she’s domestic now and trapped and her whole identity is that girl who fell in love with her RA

    I don’t think that I have ever commented, maybe, but I don’t think so. So this is really a things for me. I have been reading this comic since it began but this “soft-reboot” makes me feel like I have wasted 10 years, is that true for anyone else? I feel that the characters have been abandoned, like Willis got to the huge trauma-drama and didn’t know what to do so gave up. I mean, I know that it is a free web comic so who am I to complain. The first 10 years were fabulous, thank you for that, sir, but maybe time to move on. Take care everyone whom I never met but whose comments I have enjoyed.

      It definitely feels like the character lives and dynamics I was invested in were interrupted HARD, but I’m willing to give Willis time to draw me into the new Season 2 status quo.

      NGL, though, it feels like the last several days have just been “POW, here’s a surprising twist! One the characters aren’t at all surprised by because they saw it happen in real time, like, months ago!” And that’s difficult for me to jibe with, because it feels like I’m being laughed at for being shocked. Here’s hoping you and I both reconnect to the story soon!

        I’m seeing this as a sort of ‘in media res’ opener, and expecting as we go forward we’ll eventually also work backwards and fill in the character gaps.

    If I had walked into this scene without knowing anybody involved, I would’ve seen a young adult who was being harassed by some jerk. Even if she did a terrible job disengaging from them and had a really stupid reason for doing so, she doesn’t wanna interact anymore and should be let be.

It’s been awhile since I’ve more seriously read up on Ugaritic and Canaanite religions (alas, w/semi dated scholarship), but this is interesting, and not in a peaceful matriarchal fantasy kind of way.

If you do a close read not only of the Bible but the archeology, it starts to look like the Israelites, & all but a couple of Judean kings, worshipped a goddess for pretty much the whole First Temple era. The implications of this are... far ranging-- & her name might not be what we've believed.

I will say for the umpteenth time that the Democratic establishment is terrible at understanding enthusiasm math. An energized base is crucial to winning fights-- electoral and otherwise-- because they will drag the low info folks out to vote and protest and engage. You NEED that energy.

It's not just that he and his policies are unpopular, there's a clear and demonstrated enthusiasm differential now. His base is energetically absent, ours is livid and out in the streets.

Turns out the guy was Chuck Ayers, a nationally recognized cartoonist and creator of Crankshaft. He had a lot to say but the thing that struck me was that when he talked about whats going on now, I could see he was holding back emotion. All this still hurts him to see 55 (!!) years later.

We can’t make the actual event at the capitol today, so you’ll find us with the kids on University with our signs (and I might bring the megaphone too). Even if you can’t make it to the capitol - come out in your own neighborhoods, even if it’s for a few minutes. Be seen. Be heard. #nokings
