          You know, I never thought to make pie with seafood before. Though were I to make a seafood pie, I think I’m more feeling a shellfish/sweet corn combo than something savory like that tuna pie.

          Not sure if you mean ‘replace the word hot with the word tsundere’ or ‘replace the phrase ‘hot for Billie’ with the phrase ‘hot for tsundere’. Either one works fairly well.

    Nah, Ruth is still being a b****. You see, we can establish where the entrance/exit is, from where Billie is coming from (since we know she was just talking to Joe outside). The first person she talks to she suggests an umbrella to… but they’re just coming in. Why suggest it, if it weren’t either sarcasm or teasing? The second girl was heading out, making Ruth’s suggestion the entirely unsubtle commentary, “you really need to take a shower, hippie”.

    I rather think Emerald is right, Ruth is still being Ruth. Incoming needs an umbrella? Outgoing needs a shower?
    A bit confusing though re. Billie. Last encounter, she first tripped Billie onto her head, then held the elevator and physically removed people to make room for Billie.
    This encounter she snarks her when Billie is obviously not needing that. So what the heck is she doing?

    Yeah, I still see this as Ruth being a bully. Sure, there’s more to her character, but plenty of people are nice to most people and just completely terrible to their designated victim.

    To the people saying that this is her trying to be friends, I get what you’re saying, I think. My friends and I are dicks to each other almost all the time. We bond that way. But if someone I hadn’t known for more than a week (I think?) saw me crying and greeted me like that, that would not be considered friendly banter. At all. Just plain old mean spirited attacking someone who has been shit on already because you want to hurt them.

    …That said, I’m still shipping it.

      Agreed. Tbh some stuff about “acting all tsundere” are not the right things to do in real life.

      I know this is a fiction, but I think Willis want to approach the story more on the realistic side than the fantastic side this time.

        I’m waiting to let her get more limelight than she’s gotten before calling t unrealistic. Some nasty tsunderes in media have been written to have VERY good justification for their nastiness (see: Evangelion) and I’d wait to let Ruth’s backstory come front and center.

    She isn’t being nice at all you guys, she is still a jerk. Telling somone who is going inside and who will likely stay there all night to take an umbrella is a jerk move, because this is college and she might not have anything to do. Telling someone who is about to go out and cares about hygiene that the showers are now clean is also a dick move, with the goal of making them worry about smelling like butt. She is just being mean in smart, subtle ways. Not everyone is gonna get hurt if some jerk is obviously just trying to make you mad. Making you dickishness seem like advice can do more then calling someone an ugly hippy.

    I “ship” Billie and Ruth as many other people do and it’s being at least foreshadowed as something that could happen.

    But… why? Ruth has been horribly mean to Billie who really doesn’t deserve how she’s been treated. Even when she seemingly does something nice like when she came over with beers it was more about her needing company than wanting to do something nice.

    I seems a little perverse I see mutual antagonism and abuse and think “OMG, WUV!”

      It’s because calm, resolved love is either boring or can’t be shown on daytime TV. So we’re left with nothing to grow up on but couples that can’t quite get along, and thus still get to have snappy, lively, non-snuggle-wuggle-lumpkin dialogue with each other. Until suddenly Foe-Yay is suddenly plausible and Ben and Gwen’s preteen sniping is incestual childhood lust. (Whoops.)

      Daytime television is ruining our ability to have relationships. Or at least that’s my preferred excuse.

        I never understood Ben/Gwen shipping. Leaving aside the fact that they’re cousins, they’re 10 years old. Of course they’re gonna bicker and argue. Take any two kids that age and stick em in a confined space over a summer, they’re gonna bicker and argue.

    You know, comparing the body styles of the different characters in this scene, Billie really doesn’t look that thin. I’m not calling her fat, because she’s not. But for someone who was so vain about her appearance at the beginning of the timeline, and who was a cheerleader in her last school…

    I really didn’t notice until I realized that all three ‘other’ girls in today’s strip are thinner than Billie.

The problems with this prosecution are legion, but most immediately, the

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
