      Wait – Billie is ‘trying really hard to be a totally new person’? Aside from trying to deny she knows Walky, she seems to be doing precisely the opposite – trying to continue her popularity and success from HS into college. (Without realizing she needs to put the work in again, because she’s been reduced to ‘fresh meat’ status again.)

      And even the Walky thing seems to be an amplification of their High School relationship, rather than a reversal.

    Shut the f*ck up and move on with the conversation, Jesus -.-;;

    When the RA has something to talk to you about its usually SERIOUS, so if you’d get your head from out your butt maybe she can tell you WHY shes “bothering” you and get this over with…Ruths not exactly smelling baskets of Roses talking to YOU either. :/

    Why so much Billie hate? I personally love Billie and her high strung freak outs. I’d never be able to tolerate them in real life, but luckily there’s this monitor-thing between me and her so I can laugh at a distance. Shes just one of those that are fun to watch fail.

      Eeeh, for me, personally, shes like the annoying character that single-handedly manages to ruin a good movie (like the kids in Jurassic Park)…I’ll be sitting there lolsing at the characters and loving the story and then suddenly BILLIE appears and I can’t stand to read one word of the strip knowing if shes in it its going to be something stupidly selfish, hoping nothing too important about the plot was missed.

      I can’t speak for why others dislike her, though D:

          Haha, see I’m surrounded (and tortured) in real life by Billie-types (in my apartment, at school…) so I’m actually kinda sick of this type of character (especially in a story I really like with nifty artwork I respect and a style I love)… and while I SHOULD find her failures hilarious I actually groan and hope to God shes not in the next panel.

          Oh I ADORE Ruth, yeah, she was moody, but all she ever did was try to help Danny and get help from him and I was so happy that she ended showing some of that mentorish role in THIS universe when she was talking to Dorothy.

            Hah, I sympathise. I used to love Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonists until a good deal of high school put me off that.

            On Ruth, I reckon part of the appeal of DOA-Ruth comes from the fact that she’s the anti-Billie. She’s just as smug as Billie, but she actually has the ability (physically and intellectually) to pull off the shit she claims she can do. And unlike Billie, she doesn’t appear to let petty crap affect her – she’s going about her job with only a few snarky remarks.

            For Billie fans, this means that her insecurities (i.e. her main appeal) are brought to the surface really quickly and obviously. For Billie haters, not only do they see her get shut down, but they have someone closer to their preferred character archetype (i.e. someone entirely unlike goddamn Billie) to enjoy. When you think about it, that’s pretty brilliant of Walky, from a writing standpoint.

            I’m, um, rambling now 🙂

            I dealt with bongoes like this all my life: Elementary school and Middle-school, especially after I got honors and won spelling bees, High school was also filled with these bongoes who hit on a guy I used to like (anti-climatically he choose a Billie-esque character, too) and, of course, I’m stuck with this type in college, as well (my ex-roommates that I had to transfer to get away from…) so thats why I get pissy when I have to see her, lol, I wanna get away fro that character, haha.

            Hah, believe it or not, Ruth disliking Billie in DoA is a bonus, not the reason I lie her. I always admired how Ruth struggled to help Danny , despite all her problems, and even sacrificed herself for him…that…I’ll always give Ruth respect for that, no matter which universe.

            Lol, its ok, I ramble on, too! D:

    So, since everything is changed and despite the fact that in this universe Mike could set things straight with Dina, karma-wise, (I have decided that karma applies across timelines.) I think Willis should put Ruth and Mike together. I want this only for my own gratification, as they could make everyone else cry.

      Karma cannot work across universes. That would mean that another me could be out there doing bad stuff and I could get all the bad karma. And while I do nothing but good things, the bad me gets nothing but good stuff. It would make the very concept of karma pointless.

        Karma has to work across universes. There has to be an alternate me out there doing good deeds. That’s the only explanation for why I don’t spontaneously turn into a cockroach as karmic backlash for the terrible things I do and say.

      I assume ‘strangle’ and ‘antidisestablishmentarianism’.

      The second word is squished in a bit.

    If every subsequent characters in the poll hooked up (as I see it right now), the story looks perfect 😛

    MikexDina, WalkyxJoyce, RuthxAmber, BilliexSal (woot!), JoexSarah, EthanxDorothy and Danny is masterbating alone. Perfect, just Perfect!

    hey, this is entirely not related, but i tried to go to shortpacked and got a popup ad thing trying to sell me an ipad 2. when i tried to navigate away there was a second pop up trying to stop me. i force closed it but I thought you should be aware that you might have been hacked. since I can’t get to shortpacked directly, I thought I’d come here.

    also, huge fan and keep it up, on both strips. 😉

    Joyce is the closest thing Billie has to a friend.
    Walky is the closest thing Billie has to family.
    Ruth is the closest thing Billie has to a lover.

    Dysfunction! When the only thing all your screwed-up relationships have in common is YOU!

John Redcorn was pretty much the only contemporary Native representation I had in comedy growing up. Probably the funniest Native character in cartoon history and a lot of that was on Jonathan Joss' pitch perfect rezzy uncle performance. RIP to one of the best to ever do it.

Happy Pride! Here's the comic where I come out as a Disaster Pansexual *and* Animal Crossing Weirdo
Love, Joolz comic
Panel 1
Jules and Blackbird chilling on the couch. 
J: I'm going to my friend's Pride March in Animal crossing! Time to make a cool outfit that show off my cousins. 
B: But you already have Disaster Bisexual outfits in Animal Crossing. 
Panel 2
Jules attempts to sew a dress in the Pansexual colors.
J: I am not a disaster bisexual. I'm Pansexual.
B: What's the difference? 
J: Getting horny for way more options.
Panel 3
Blackbird flutters agitatedly at Jules, who struggles with the sewing machine. 
B: Jules you're running out of time! 
J: It's fine! I can get the dress done in time!
B: We gotta go! 
J: It's fine! I can get the dress done in time! 
B: We gotta go! We're gonna miss the march! 
J: It's fine it's fine it's fine it's--
Panel 4: 
Jules and Blackbird at the Animal Crossing Pride parade. Blackbird is in a cap with Trans flag colors and a shirt with a rainbow pattern. Jules is in a suit with a bow tie and a froggie hat. She looks a mess. 
B: Jesus God, you really are a disaster bisexual. 
J: Disaster Pansexual.
B: Right. 
B: Jesus God
