      The Hell’s she gonna do about it? “I have to report that something I stole was stolen from me–likely by its rightful owner”?
      The other option is criminal activity, and she does that anyway.

        True. If RUth were genuinely evil (instead of just Ruth), she could just tear up the orommate form after Billie hands it over, and then report her to school administration for failing to comply and never filling it out.

        But instead, I expect the far more entertaining snark-and-occasional-threats/violence!

          Considering how bad ruth wants this form, I suspect that’s not viable. It’s likely the failing would fall on her for not getting all her people to fill out their forms.

          Evil would be busting her for the alcohol… that Ruth brought into her room.

          If Ruth reports anything to school administration, she’ll be starting a discussion between them and her residents.
          She doesn’t want that; she’s intimidating them into not starting one on their own, after all.

        I scaled today’s comic to 1000px down from the original 600dpi print-size file. If you’re seeing pixelation, you’re somehow seeing a cached image of the original version.

      The English language has by far the largest vocabulary of any language in the world. Knowing EVERY word is the reserve of savants and professional Scrabble players.

    Shoulda stopped while you were a head Billie. I mean, yeah, she couldn’t exactly deny what she did. After all, it was her uniform that was taken… and the beer. But still, she shouldn’t test fate, just because Sal is with her right now.

    Still, I wonder if Ruth sees the irony of the situation.

        Not really. The photo of her in bed with the beer might necessarily be against school rules, assuming she’s of legal drinking age, and no sharing it with younger students. My school allowed for the 21 and over students to keep small amounts of booze so long as they did that.

          Except for two things: 1.) while IU allows students 21+ to have small amounts of alcohol in designated places, that doesn’t extend to residence halls where the majority of residents are undergrads and therefore underage; and 2.) Ruth is an RA. A leaked picture of an RA passed out surrounded by beer that she’s not allowed to have in her room would at the very least result in her losing her position.

            Well if the college in the comic has the same rules that could be very true. I know my old college was okay with RAs having booze in their room, so long as they didn’t drink around the students and they did their job. As for the picture, it depends on how the school handles it. After all, they haven’t fired her yet for her abuse of students.

    Bad, bad move, Billie. Before you said that, Ruth suspected you, but didn’t KNOW. Now she KNOWS, but she can’t prove it. The problem is, Ruth doesn’t CARE about proving it, she doesn’t have to answer to anyone, so she can make your life miserable anyway.

      ah but she also must suspect that Billie must also have some knowledge of the phone call to her father thus seeing her weakness. her power is based on the myth/story/legend of her having no weakness. If she retaliates before she knows exactly what Billie knows Billie can spill the beans and all her threats and bluster become so much sound and fury signifying nothing.

        She may already have an inkling of what may be in store since she did consume large quantities of illicit beverages before passing out the night of the items disappearance. The comment about snoring sets time, place and compromising position.

      Confirming it makes no difference. Considering what stolen property was missing from her room, she already knew. And since she can’t report it, her only choices would be either drop the matter entirely, or go the threatening bully route. So she chose door #2, only to find that Billie isn’t backing down.

    So what are you threatening her with exactly Ruth?

    Billie “stole” from your room something that belongs to Billie herself that you Ruth stole from her in the first place. On top of that you were actually damaging her property. Not sure what leg you have to stand on here.

Here's an entertaining cite at the bottom of the first page
The problems with this prosecution are legion, but most immediately, the
government cannot prosecute Judge Dugan because she is entitled to judicial immunity for her official acts. Immunity is not a defense to the prosecution to be determined later by a jury or court; it is an absolute bar to the prosecution at the outset. See Trump v. United States,
603 U.S. 593, 630 (2024).
