      About bloody time someone stood up to her. If I was a girl I’d have stood toe-to-toe with her no matter how hard I got beat down. And the tubbo name-calling was uncalled for. Although I’d say, “Tubbo? Wow, I thought someone with your “higher education” could come up with something better you self-righteous, overbearing, sactimnious windbag.”

      Keep in mind Billie still has the pictures of Ruth passed out with alcohol in hand. I’m actually surprised Billie didn’t insinuate that again, but seeing as how Ruth took her by surprise she probably didn’t think of it. Perhaps that’s for later. Meanwhile I like where this is going.

      Why is it always “Cat fight! rawr hiss hahahaha!” whenever women fight? You could have two men fighting over the pettiest reason, and it’s a fight, and usually turns into an action sequence. But two women? Context doesn’t matter! Let’s point and laugh and hope they tear each other’s clothes!

      Actually, that’s kind of irritating.

          Personally I was hoping that the explanation wouldn’t make guys look like complete idiots, even if the reasoning behind the appeal is stable and I’d be lying if I claimed ignorance that that is the specific appeal for many men. One could make the argument though that some guys like women who aren’t afraid of a fight or can win one much like some women like men who file into that category.

        Cat fights are entertaining because that bongo needs a brutal takedown and us guys can’t hit a girl. So we like seeing a girl doing the job we can’t.

        Plus if clothes get ripped up during the fight, we generally ain’t complaining.

          Bullshit. Guys can hit a girl just as much as girls can hit guys or one gender can hit their own gender.

            Nobody should hit anybody. Violence is not an acceptable way of resolving conflict.

            That’s not to say nobody does, I just don’t think we should be talking about who’s allowed to hit whom when the whole concept of violence as conflict resolution is abhorrent.

              Violence is an inferior and flawed method of resolving conflict, but I wouldn’t say that it’s always ‘unacceptable’. It reflects badly on the person who has to resort to violence, but it can be preferable to inaction if the person is incapable of developing an alternative strategy of conflict resolution.

              If one is in a situation where violence is the only option that they can find, then there shouldn’t be a question of who can hit who – there should be no option but to hit whoever one needs to hit. If there’s an option, then they should still be trying to find alternative solutions.

                The stereotype (to my way of thinking) is due in part to a mental block. When dealing with the same gender, there is a sense of territory, dominance, pride, and other foolishness that seems to bring about violence as the only alternative. When dealing with the opposite gender, this seems to rarely come into play. In other words, I was brought up that violence, in general, should be avoided, but sometimes it can’t be. While I was brought up not to hit a lady, I will say that as Sean Connery once said, “Sometimes you just have to slap the bongo.”

              Notice I said “just as much” as all the other situations? That completely avoids the debate as to how acceptable violence is in general. Whatever you deem the acceptable level and situations for violence, it’s the same across the board for genders.

              I do agree that violence is not a solution in real world situations but… we’re talking about comics. It’s such an irritating trope to see. Such as when a super villainess is wiping the floor with a male superhero because he refuses to hit a girl.

        I think sal can expect one of three possible outcomes from ruth.

        1. She’ll roundhouse kick sal in the chin. Thereby knocking her clear across the room.

        2. She’ll make out with her.

        3. Ruth will cry like a baby and beg for mercy.

        I like the idea that Sal is lifting Ruth by the top of her head. First, because the way her hand is drawn, it definitely does not look like she’s just holding hair. Second, because it’s much cooler for her to be lifting Ruth by her scalp than to just be pulling hair.

        Thirdly, I <3 Sal and want to have her babies.

            There was an excuse for Ruth for a while. Up until right about when she goaded Billie into attacking her, and debatably including that act, she could have been honestly trying for the hardass philosophy of achieving order and peace. Everything after that put her definitively into the sadistic bully camp, though.

    Hmmm, this is a hard one to call. On one hand, Sal has super awesome alien powers in another universe. On the other, Ruth has overalls in same said universe. Gonna be a close fight.

      The students in the dorm are either indifferent, or live in utter fear of her She also has made it clear (I cannot remember the exact strip) that she would not get fired because the RA directors love her, although there has been a lot of illegal drinking emotional trauma, illegal entry into the dorms and she has done nothing it seems but torture Billie so yeah she sucks as an RA

        exactly! If she had a good control and eye on things, I’d say “yeah, she’s a bongo, but she knows how to do her job”. But thus far, she’s spent all her time and energy on screen trying to torture Billie. Meanwhile, even if the kids are afraid, their parents wouldn’t be. I find it hard to believe that in a dorm full of students, none of them have mentioned to their parents the evil RA who threatens and steals from them.

        I seriously think she has some kind of blackmail on the administration or something.

    Okay..liked the strip, but if Sal starts using the word ‘sugah’ she might as well start wearing green and yellow spandex (with all due respects to Dr. K ‘it’s not spandex!’) and we simply just call her ‘Rogue’.

    I’m sure she can fly and all that already since…ya know…she’s Sal.

      Thus Sal vanquished Ruth then proceeded off with the fair Billie upon her motorcycle, popping a wheelie and revving the motor before they drive off into the sunset to go live happily ever after.

      THE END.

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).

But now I’m thinking about boycotting movies altogether. Why? Because I can’t seem to watch one anymore without […]

It's not a new argument, of course, but Chesterton dismissed it effectively in 1908. "You will hear everlastingly... this argument that the rich man cannot be bribed. The fact is, of course, that the rich man is bribed; he has been bribed already. That is why he is a rich man."

AI generated ad by a company called Travello showing the 10 most visited cities in Europe, except the cities are hilariously poorly placed. London is in Wales, Paris is in Ireland, Rome is in France, Rom (yes like Rome but without an E) is in Spain, Barcelona is in Morocco, Prague is in Germany, Vienna is in Italy, Istanbul is in Austria, Milan is in Libya, and Antalya is correctly shown as in Turkey but is in the wrong place. Also a few of the borders like Switzerland and Austria or Hungary and Slovenia are missing.

wilbur, savvy enough to know he's in a comic strip but still not a great actor, awkwardly lifts a muffin up into frame so that we, the audience, understand that he has a muffin right now, which is very important narratively, but he's not really selling it well as an organic, human action
