        It’s “Hone Along.” But I really think she’s been watching “Get Smart.” It’s more her speed than all that other stuff.

        C’mon, you expect Billie to think on the level of an eight-year old?

          No, ‘Hone Along’ is that slasher movie where the villain is always shown sharpening his knives while musing about how lonely he is and why no one will sharpen his knives with him.

          BECAUSE HE HAS KILLED THEM ALL!

          Not Home Alone, that was of two thieves robbing houses at Christmas. I think this movie also starred Ted Danson.

            It’s the one where Danson is faking being a real father to his son just to stay close enough to get the loot, then in a “surprise twist” decides that the little kid was worth more than the money… Now if I could remember the name.

        A sky burial is essentially putting a human corpse on a mountain top, exposing it to the elements and animals (like predatory birds).

        I prefer this one out of the three, really…

            Kinda reminds me of the story about the Alaska fisherman who needed to get rid of a couple barrels of fish guts. He parked them at the end of a pier where the eagles could get them. Eagles will scavenge rather than hunt…

            Cut to the town covered with fish guts that dripped out of the eagles claws as they scooped up a claw full and flew off to eat. They aren’t the tidiest eaters in the animal kingdom.

      I went to one. “Dry campus” is code for “Yeah, we all know you’re drinking anyways, but we’ll be stricter on you if you get caught. Not that we’ll really try to catch you.” I would love to know what the administration pretended the fraternities were doing every weekend.

            Well…some of us actually do a fair amount of volunteer work on the weekends. I can’t speak for every guy in a fraternity, but there’s plenty who don’t drink and do community service. Or who do drink and do community service.

            In a couple of unfortunate cases, at the same time. But yeah, nobody actually puts much effort into catching alcohol use on a dry campus.

      You have a point, if Ruth was as inhumane and Ruthless as Billy sees her, she woulda just turned in Billy. This make me think Ruth is just doing out some REALLY tough love.

      Another thing is that there must be a reason the rest of staff lover her.

      But the again working with someone and working under them can be two very different experiences.

      Ruth can’t actually turn Billie in.
      She caught Billie how? By sneaking into her room when she wasn’t there. Just because RA’s have keys and physically *can* do that does *not* make it allowable.
      Yes, Billie would get in trouble. So would Ruth, probably more seriously.

    Granted, even the campus mall cops were clueless as to A-W’s wet status. They once tried busting us for having MY 12 year old single malt out at a Halloween party. They were set straight before they did any real damage.

      I googled it, and IU is not actually a dry campus, which would imply that no alcohol is allowed anywhere on the university property (even for professors, let alone RAs). However, http://www.rps.indiana.edu/faq.cfml undergraduate dorms are a ‘restricted area’ meaning you cannot have alcohol even if you are over 21. I assume that this also applies to everyone regardless of age or position.

    Dry campus or no, freshmen are underage for drinking. Where I went to school, it pretty much functioned on a “yeah we know most of you have booze in your rooms, just don’t let us SEE you with it” basis.

    The continuing issue here is an RA abusing her power to go into any student’s room without justifiable cause. Justifiable cause mostly being “I locked my key in my room” much of the time.

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

Check out those stickers. They make him look pretty great, actually. That aircraft carrier mode shines. Tidal Wave is loose and incomplete! So there's only four (4) jets!

confirming that the reason there's been no Galaxy Version female characters in Blokees until now is that they felt they needed to make Round Lady Thighs For Ladies

It's #webcomicday? We have a special day??? Well, my name is Pat McHoarney and I draw 69 Mouse-Ear Blvd, a multigenerational story about women who all have sexy legs and probably other features. There was a grandmother, but she wasn't hot and so she died off-panel.

This @bransonreese.bsky.social four panel is never completely out of my head.
Four panel comic by Brandon Reese titled Animal Crackers.  In each panel Groucho Marx is speaking.

1 - One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas 
2 - How I worked up the courage to kill a living thing I'll never know.
3 - (silent)
4 - They mourn their dead, as we do.

Gran... IS ALIVE? okay, juliette still has brown hair, so this is probably definitely a flashback i'm just surprised that the comic has remembered her, at all
