It’s the old “running from a lion” scenario. If you have a friend with you, you don’t have to be faster than the lion. You just have to be faster than your friend.
Oh wow, you mod your comments. I didn’t expect that David, well played. So, since i presumably have you attention i just want to say that dumbing of ages is a refreshing and fun comic to read. Also, i love your professionalism and dedication to posting comics regularly and at regular intervals. You’re awesome Willis <3
“Walky, I want you to stay as far away from me as possible so I can make new friends and treat you like a non-entity, and I’m only helping you get laid so you’ll spend less time with me.
I apologize if I am being..obtuse…here but all I am suggesting that it was an angle not necessarily the…right angle. But that does not rule out the possibility of an…acute reaction

NOBODY expects the Ruthless Inquisition!… Amongst her weaponry are such diverse elements as: fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, an almost fanatical devotion to the dorm, and nice red uniforms.
Loading ...
Billie can indeed handle this on her own, or die trying.
Walky owes her nothing.
Besides, perhaps, a smack in the face.
No, not her FAAAAACE!
Yea, saw that coming, at least you got it over with quickly.
With a penis for a nickle
Later just seems more convenient in this situation
best thing about later; it’s never now.
lol
That is pretty much the whole idea behind procrastination.
And we see some of Walky’s generally-untapped intelligence come out.
SO FUCKING CLOSE.
Having already faced Ruth I’m wondering why Billie would assume Walky would be any help.
having known Walky for as long as she has she shouldn’t assume he’d be any help.

You keep using the word friend. I don’t think it means what you think it means.
😛
Well, he is sculpted out of caramel. Sounds like he has some possible beating-up-Ruth muscles.
And if the lion has a sweet tooth she’s home free.
based on panels 1 and 2, i think billie wants walky to offer himself to ruth. perhaps show ruth his pajama jeans?
Cornered between a Ruth and a hard place.
Pajama jeans.

Let me berate you on relationship advice you don’t need and then ask you to fight my battles.
Billy= friend of the year.
Is Ruth somehow aware of Billie’s recent adventure with alcohol?
Billie! In an Adventure with Alcohol
I’d watch it.
It would certainly spawn a plethora of sequels.
Narrated by Dina.
Pulling the most adorabad David Attenborough impression the entire time, entirely straight-faced.
Is Walky Pinky?
Billie is the Brain.
No, no.. You have to do it in the style of Indiana Jones!
It goes, “Billie and the Alcoholic Adventure!”
Ruth reads Dumbing of Age and gives herself a 3-4 week buffer.
Ruth is DoA’s Deadpool.
Suddenly everything makes sense. Like how she knew Billie was going to be in the male dorms.
She ain’t deadpool until she starts talking to the little yellow narration boxes.
“Walky, I want you to stay as far away from me as possible so I can make new friends and treat you like a non-entity, and I’m only helping you get laid so you’ll spend less time with me.
Now help me with my problems.”
Billy=FRIEND OF THE YEAR!
You misspelt fiend.
Hasn’t Ruthless already taken a liking to Walky? That might just save Billie from her impending doom.
Or maybe she needs to keep up a tough girl front with Billie. She was only nice once Sal and Billie left.
I think she just doesn’t see him as any kind of threat, nor does she have anything to gain by terrorizing him.
Okay, we know why Billie is in the men’s wing, but why is Ruth there?
My guess: booty call with Joe.
I’d ship that
Man, can’t a girl walk through a hallway these days, looking for people to torment, without people assuming she’s sleeping with someone?!
Alternatively: She’s looking for Mike so she can one day have his angry hatebabies.
LOL…
I don’t need to say anything else. Everything good has already been said.
And that ship’s been torpedoed.
That ship wasn’t exactly sea-worthy in the first place.
Oh hey there Ruth, nice to see you ^^
Wait. Why is Ruth here in the male dorms? Isn’t that a bit outside of her jurisdiction?
And if she’s here for Billie, how did she know Billie was here? Is she a teleporter? A mind reader? A psychic?
Ruth exists in all places at all times.
It all makes sense. Ruth is the ultimate phenomenon of the universe.
My god. It’s full of stars.
If she and mike were to have children, they would be literally omnipresent.
and scary!!
Perhaps she wanted to talk the the RA of the male dorms? They could be planning a joint event to warn about the dangerous vigilante running around.
Hm, I guess that makes sense.
I still think my ideas are better, though.
Yes.
Yes to what? The jurisdiction, or the speculation?
YES!
ALL THE THINGS. Every last one of them.
They can at least both be glad Ruth didn’t get on the Elevator while Walky was busy changing pants.
That’s true! Although it would’ve been wacky hijinks, I guess it was too contrived to fly.
yes…. glad….
…aaaand shit just got real.
Ruth has a wrist-withering gaze. Panel One. Panel Four. Compare.
Nah, it’s just turned. Wide side in panel 1, narrow side in panel 4.
Interesting. Neither one of them belong in that hallway, and yet there they are. And I won’t bet on Walky running, he’s unpredictable.
Walky better get out of there before he gets caramelised.
I think I have figured out Billie’s angle. Be the “friend” of the desired sibling in order to get with the desired sibling. Billie… You sly dog
…?
You mean Walky and Sal? They grew up together before she even met Sal, and she doesn’t seem to much kinder than ever before.
Ruuuuun tooooo the Hiiiiiiiiillllllssss!!!!!
Man, Billie is really slow at getting the message.
I apologize if I am being..obtuse…here but all I am suggesting that it was an angle not necessarily the…right angle. But that does not rule out the possibility of an…acute reaction
…I feel dirty
This is supposed to be a reply to Raen… and now I feel incompetant
i was beginning to wonder when we’d see Ruth again!
Nobody expects the Ruthless Inquisition!

Put Billie on the rack! (No not that one the OTHER one you silly twit!)
Place Billie in…. The COMFY CHAIR!!!!
I feel sorry for Billie – she honestly can’t fathom that Walky doesn’t need her advice
