Not quite true. For instance, one of the two antidotes to methanol is ethanol. Lots of ethanol. Violently ill, sick-making ethanol. (Yes, ethanol is a poison. We’re just able to break it down to less poisonous things. Mostly. It just takes a while.)
It’s a nasty treatment, but it’s better than going blind and then dying.
Ethanol is a somewhat questionable treatment for methanol poisoning. At least, in self-administered kind of way. The same mechanism, however, can also be used to prevent death from ethylene glycol (antifreeze) poisoning in a more reliable way. Ethylene glycol is converted to glycolic acid using the same enzyme that breaks down ethanol. Glycolic acid is then converted to oxalic acid, which precipitates in kidneys and causes them to fail. That’s what usually kills you. If you keep your liver busy with ethanol, it reduces rate of oxalic acid production, and most of antifreeze leaves your body via urine.
The process is similar for mehtanol. One of the reasons it’s poisonous is due to being converted to formic acid by the liver, again, using the same enzyme. Consuming lots of ethanol will help with that. However, both ethanol and methanol are CNS depressants. So taking too much ethanol together with ethanol will simply kill you due to alcohol poisoning, making it very iffy for self-medication. Then again, if your options are drinking loads of vodka or doing nothing, in both of these cases, you might as well take a chance with vodka.
Yes, and there’s a better treatment, formipazole, which blocks the transformation into formaldehyde or formic acid. It’s got it’s own problems (it make ethanol a much more powerful intoxicant while mostly eliminating the hangover,) but it’s a better treatment if you can get it.
However, if you can’t, a bottle of vodka is as good a place to start as any.
There are actually some poisons for which the treatment — or at least a treatment — is another poison. For instance, Strychnine poisoning [i]can[/i] be treated with Curare.
I [b]think[/b] I remember hearing of some toxin whose immediate treatment was arsenic, on the principle that the arsenic would interfere with the action of the primary toxin, and could then itself be chelated out later.
Want an actual example of poison fighting poison? Take atropine, a derivative of Deadly nightshade can be used to counter the effects of organo-phosphate poisons, such Sarin nerve gas.
i can’t deny that. i only remember hearing it years ago…
but i do remember a documentary about a man who injected himself a little snake venom everyday and thus created a resistance to it. that could work too.
That’s known as “Mithritadism”, after Mithradites VI, who followed the practice (and, after being captured by his enemies, tried to poison himself and failed. Whoops.)
It works for certain types of poison, but not all; there are some poisonous substances that accumulate in the tissues with increasingly bad effects, so trying that strategy will only make it worse.
When author Jack London killed himself, he took two different poisons, thinking that the two of them combined would kill him quickly and painlessly. Instead, they counteracted each other, and he lingered in agony for several days before he finally died painfully.
As your comment has been distanced, by many lines of other comments, from the comment to which it was a response, I read it as if it was without context.
As such, my brain applied context, and I read it in the Dune sense of taking “somebody’s water”. That made it much more interesting.
As you were.
I was replying to the “Average Loser”, his quote “If you can’t be the antidote, become the poison. Otherwise you’re just lukewarm water helpful to none.” is a quote from an anime series called Hanamonogatari (which is an adaptation of a light novel (LN) of the same name).
Possible. Oh, I hope so. I really want this to go well for them.
Not because porn. Because I really, really like this ship.
… not that porn hurts or anything.
Lemme check, lessee, rent…landlords…apartments…Ooh! There’s a game where you are the devil and run an apartment building for various monsters! And it’s only $3.99!
I believe you should remember that “aholic” is the colloquial suffix used indicate an addiction to a noun. Because it’s considerably more amusing than saying “addict”. So shut it, you Grammaholic!
Anyway, Steamahol is brilliant. (Vaporise alcohol, then inhale the fumes? Is that a thing?)
I have that issue with books and music, but it’s mainly down to time…with a backlog in the tens of thousands, there’ll never be a point where I catch up.
And yet I haunt the library and borrow even more….
Why does Ruth think she’s poison?
Billie has been told as much.
And Ruth has done nothing wrong.
(If you don’t count the violence and the breaking and entering and the theft and the vandalism and the sexual harassment.)
If she’s anything like her Walkyverse incarnation, she was probably still a really unpleasant person even before her parents died. There might be something in her backstory that made her realize she’s toxic.
I’ve always identified with DoA Ruth, upto and including my attraction to fucked-in-the-head chubby girls, so I’m assuming Ruth has to be as turned on as I am right now.
I was going to go with either “I wanna kiss you but your lips are venomous poison” or my favorite “I wanna hurt you just to hear you screaming my name”, that kinda sounds Ruth-Less.
Sadly there is a dearth of actual Plasma Mongooses (or any variant of the mongoose really) here. Though a lot of Australia is kind of flammable so it might be for the best as I can only assume a Plasma Mongoos would be inclined to set things on fire.
Apparently my new roommates are discussing why the guy they haven’t heard a peep from in two weeks is suddenly blasting Alice Cooper after 11 pm. I guess I should turn it down.
And this makes two web comics that I have seen those lyrics posted either in the actual comic or in the comments section. Have you ever seen the band live on stage?
I keep hoping that if you slam two drama hurricanes together like naked GI Joes they cancel each other out and turn into a nice comfortable low-pressure front.
I wish that I could turn back time
cos now the guilt is all mine
can’t live without
the trust from those you love
I know we can’t forget the past
you can’t forget love & pride
because of that, it’s killing me inside
For what it’s worth, HE’S taken kind of a Reader Response angle on his lyrics – if you hear something else, then he feels that those are the lyrics FOR YOU.
The National Weather Service has issued a severe storm warning for the Funny Parts of the Internet following the merging of drama-hurricanes Billie and Ruth into Super Typhoon Brüth….
No, Sandy was a subtropical storm formed when a minor tropical vortex was captured by a temperate cold front.
In principle, yes, two tropical vortices can merge. That’s not what usually happens: usually, the stronger of the two sucks up the water and the heat that the other one needs, leading the weaker to dissipate. Of course, that doesn’t seem too dissimilar to what we’re seeing here.
So one of them would become a more intense drama hurricane and the other one will die? That sounds scarily like what happened to Billy and Ruth. I don’t know how I feel about this metaphor anymore.
See, I thought they’d just suck up the heat faster, causing both storms to dissipate, or at least calm down. And that’d be good! They’d calm each other down, no longer 2 drama hurricanes, able to interact with other people without busting up their windows.
… Well I feel stupid. I guess I’m too used to the branded LCBO bags in Ontario. I didn’t read the comments last comic and honestly though she had a sub in her hand.
She has a chance to fix what she broke: Seems like a win to me. + Danny’s line “I’ve spent the last few days feeling useless, and so I’d really be grateful for a chance to solve a problem for somebody”
She could always try to help Ruth, but that’s what got her into the current situation in the first place. What I think Billie really needs to do is say that she’s sorry about hurting Ruth. Just stopping Ruth from the physical act of drinking won’t solve anything if Billie keeps hurting her so she’ll want to drink to escape the pain.
But if Billie’s willing to admit failure and that she’s been bad to Ruth, that hopefully means they’ll reconcile soon. I hope.
And I won’t put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I’m involved with the love lives of comic strip characters and always will be
And here is another example of why this comments section needs a “like” or upvote system. Because adding to the comment count just to say “you are right” is just so wrong.
Glad that it wasn’t Billie bringing alcohol to Ruth. Can we just make them kiss and go to counseling together or something? BE WELL SO YOU CAN BE HAPPY TOGETHER.
Most liquor stores in the US sell their product in a paper bag with the top stapled on to allow patrons to carry the booze without triggering laws that prevent the public consumption of booze. Ruth’s been to the liquor store and bought something (illegally, I think — I believe she’s twenty.)
Aha. Yeah the stapled bag looked kinda specific, that’s what I was curious about.
They don’t even have bags in liquor stores here. (some envi
ronmental-friendly measure, but I know all they want is to sell you their overpriced reusable bags) You either need to bring your own resuable bag, or carry it in your hands
and risk having some policemen bother you if they see it.
Dude don’t jinx it.
That’s the kind of thing you say that makes a writer go all “oh well, I’ll change my story since it’s so predictable” if he or she reads it.
It’s sad to see them suffering so much when the solution is so simple: you can’t drink alcohol and have sex at the same time. All the time they could spend in bed banging is time they wouldn’t spend drinking!
Apparently Billie does not have her fingers digging into any thing other than fabric, or else Ruth would not look nearly as calm..she just looks sorta non-plused.
RL these would be a terrible match.
Here, they need each other. Go for it. Apologise for lying to Ruth. Forgive her Ruth.
Try again. Join AA. You can do it together.

Gov. Tim Walz is doubling down on trans rights — and criticizing members of his party who are retreating — at a time when the issue has become a political lightning rod nationally and back home in Minnesota.
they managed to get the arms and thighs to be different grays, which I wasn't sure they'd be able to do, the way the mold's set up
though maybe they're just producing a lot of extra thighs and/or arms in the wrong colors and throwing those away, i dunno
Cops are overgrown children cosplaying War, with all the rest of us forced into their stupid, childish game without our consent, consuming vast funds from the public treasury and ruining lives by the hundreds of thousands.

I thought that was absinthe. Or was it absence? I always mix those two up.
That gurl is poooossiiioooon POSION dodododododo
……….NEVER trust a big butt and a smile…………
Miss her, kiss her, love her (wrong move, yer dead)
Okay. . . but why would that matter? No one eats dodo!
At the risk of repeating my comment from the Danny/Ethan strip a few days ago:
JUST MAKE OUT ALREADY
“LET’S BE POISON TOGETHER AND POISON THE WORLD”
If you can’t be the antidote, become the poison. Otherwise you’re just lukewarm water helpful to none.
funnily enough,one way to counteract poison is by use of another poison.
Chinese superstition, and will probably end up getting you killed, cuz, you know, you have two different poisons in you.
Not quite true. For instance, one of the two antidotes to methanol is ethanol. Lots of ethanol. Violently ill, sick-making ethanol. (Yes, ethanol is a poison. We’re just able to break it down to less poisonous things. Mostly. It just takes a while.)

There is a cure for hangovers?
And it makes ethanol more potent?
So naturally there is a drink which incorporates it?
I think you meant fomepizole.
Also, better to get your pet piss drunk than for their insides to liquefy.

just shove a bezoar down his throat

It works for certain types of poison, but not all; there are some poisonous substances that accumulate in the tissues with increasingly bad effects, so trying that strategy will only make it worse.
Actually many anti-venoms are refined from posions.
That is not remotely the same thing. Cause it has been refined so it isn’t a poison anymore…
The difference between a poison and a medicine is the dose!
In fact, nearly *all* anti-venom is derived from the poisons they cure. Snake and spider venom, for example.
When author Jack London killed himself, he took two different poisons, thinking that the two of them combined would kill him quickly and painlessly. Instead, they counteracted each other, and he lingered in agony for several days before he finally died painfully.
Later biographers have contested that. The World of Jack London website discusses the issue.
Now back to your regularly scheduled dongs.
I happen to really like water, thank you very much. Give your water to me, if you don’t want it.
As your comment has been distanced, by many lines of other comments, from the comment to which it was a response, I read it as if it was without context.
As such, my brain applied context, and I read it in the Dune sense of taking “somebody’s water”. That made it much more interesting.
As you were.
Whoa, a Hanamonogatari viewer has been spotted or are you a LN reader?
elaborate.
I was replying to the “Average Loser”, his quote “If you can’t be the antidote, become the poison. Otherwise you’re just lukewarm water helpful to none.” is a quote from an anime series called Hanamonogatari (which is an adaptation of a light novel (LN) of the same name).
I scrolled down just to see retorts to that line, I was not disappointed
Damn you, you beat me to the punch and with almost exatly the same words! Well played.
Billy and Ruth Become Harley and Ivy.
If somebody does not draw this I can personally promise an internet revolt!
I could always draw it…
for a fee.
You take PayPal?
I does. I does.
So who is the Joker then?
Howard.
Sal is The Joker. Dorothy is Lana Lang, and we all know who Amazigirl is.
Yeah. Carla
Sal’s secret identity?
Danny, who else?
Yeah, actually. Billie threw herself at Danny, but he wasn’t interested.
That’s the Harley/Joker relationship in a nutshell.
That’s not quite true. Danny was interested, he just didn’t want to bang her at the risk of losing any chance with Amber.
And I personally think it was one of Willis’s Walkyverse ship teases, like the Joyce/Walky one and the Mike/Amber one.
ooooohhhhh, THEY’RE the slipshine.
EVERYONE will be the Slipshine.
All in good time.
Possible. Oh, I hope so. I really want this to go well for them.
Not because porn. Because I really, really like this ship.
… not that porn hurts or anything.
No, Lia. The slipshine was inside of you all along.
Or maybe the shipsline?
AND THEN JOHN WAS A SLIPSHINE.
I just want to slam the skulls of these two idiots together and scream at them.
But then how will they bang if you bang their heads in??
Messily.
Uncoordinatedly, I think.
Maybe we could try banging their pelvises’ together instead?
That sounds like something an insane person would do!
So alcohol is like games on Steam to Ruth. She’ll compulsively buy them, but never get around to actually using them.
…That being the case, I may need to look into some sort of Steamaholics Anonymous.
C-Can you give the hotline number please? It’s getting to the point that I can’t pay rent. . .
Lemme check, lessee, rent…landlords…apartments…Ooh! There’s a game where you are the devil and run an apartment building for various monsters! And it’s only $3.99!
I thought that game was WiiWare rather than Steam.
Just pretend rent is a new game that comes out each month.
I’m not paying $500 on a game.
ONLY one game?? On STEAM??? Bwhahahahahahhaaaa!
One of my favourite games on Steam is trying to get more games without actually giving Steam any more money.
Almost lost that game, but somehow my friends/family keep getting me more… [also, Steam summer sale voting]
I have a sneaking suspicion that HumbleBundle is like crack for some ppeople. THERE IS SHOVELWARE. I MUST HAVE IT.
I blame the sales. I always get games for someday when they are on sale.
That is me and Comixology exactly.
I bought the Witcher Enhanced Edition for $2.50 on sale once. I’ve never been able to run it, but it’s there.
I think you should actually be taken to a grammar school. As catchy as it sounds, I don’t believe you are referring to people addicted to Steamahol.
I believe you should remember that “aholic” is the colloquial suffix used indicate an addiction to a noun. Because it’s considerably more amusing than saying “addict”. So shut it, you Grammaholic!
Anyway, Steamahol is brilliant. (Vaporise alcohol, then inhale the fumes? Is that a thing?)

The hatef@$king shall commence!!!
hate fasking?
The Hate FatDollarking. I guess they’re going to meet up with Donald Trump!
I thought it sounded like a new Burger King sandwich.
I think that Willis, Internet Pornlord, would be greatly interested in Hate FucDollarKing, now that you mention it.
Actually, think about this:
FatDollarKing => Fat, Rich, Powerful => The Kingpin => Wilson Fisk =>Wil(son) (F)is(k) => WILLIS!
Batman deduction at its best.
yeah, toxic just started playing in my head
in other news, I really ship this
I know it’s horrible in so many ways, but… ; – ;
It’s called a guilty pleasure, and life would be so much duller without them ^^
And thats why your great for each other. Now kiss, damn you.
Why does Ruth think she’s poison?
Billie has been told as much.
And Ruth has done nothing wrong.
(If you don’t count the violence and the breaking and entering and the theft and the vandalism and the sexual harassment.)
If she’s anything like her Walkyverse incarnation, she was probably still a really unpleasant person even before her parents died. There might be something in her backstory that made her realize she’s toxic.
Just remember, NA and CL may both be deadly, but NACL is delicious.
And too much causes hypertension.
I am fairly certain that is a myth.
But that can be more easily treated.
The North American Cultural Laboratory?
Table Salt. (NaCL is the chemical formula)
Maybe I should have written it Na and Cl…
What an apt metaphor.
Billie is obviously CL. And I can totally see Ruth at Sodium. Everything makes her explode. ^^
It makes sense: Ruth is clearly always giving things away — particularly kicks and punches — and Billie is frequently getting those same things.
But doesn’t the make Ruth Na and Billie Cl?
well played
Protip: Table Salt is NaCl(Sodium Chlorine) not NACL(Nitrogen ? Carbon Lithium)
Nitpick. Lithium is Li
Doh!
Yeah yeah. Had I been actually writing it like NaCl I would have lower-cased, but everyone knew what I was saying.
I’ve always identified with DoA Ruth, upto and including my attraction to fucked-in-the-head chubby girls, so I’m assuming Ruth has to be as turned on as I am right now.
Weirdly, I’ve always identified with DoA Billie, including my attraction to orphaned red-heads with green eyes.
now kiss?
You’re poison runnin through my veins
You’re poison, I don’t wanna break these chains.
I was going to quote this song, but I was too slow because I had to find it on my hard drive first.
I was going to go with either “I wanna kiss you but your lips are venomous poison” or my favorite “I wanna hurt you just to hear you screaming my name”, that kinda sounds Ruth-Less.
I was going to let any repliers post the next lines of the lyrics.
You… you consistently amaze me. Its like we have lived the same life…. or you are my friend Christina. But that seems very unlikely.
I can tell you that my name isn’t Christina but I do live in Australia if that helps.
It took until now for the idea of an Australia populated by literal plasma mongooses to occur to me. And it is glorious.
Oh, my…this changes everything!
Much better than liquid mongooses!
Those are messy and tend to leave drowned snakes laying about instead of eating them like a proper dry mongoose (plasma is dry, too).
More than dry, totally hot and ionised. ^_^
Sadly there is a dearth of actual Plasma Mongooses (or any variant of the mongoose really) here. Though a lot of Australia is kind of flammable so it might be for the best as I can only assume a Plasma Mongoos would be inclined to set things on fire.
I want one as a pet! I can be trusted!
When it comes to starting fires in Australia, nothing beats gum trees, they depend on fires to breed.
I wanna love you, but I better not touch
I wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop
Apparently my new roommates are discussing why the guy they haven’t heard a peep from in two weeks is suddenly blasting Alice Cooper after 11 pm. I guess I should turn it down.
Konya wa “Hurricane”
Anata ni “Hurricane”
Tsutaetai no “Loving You…
And this makes two web comics that I have seen those lyrics posted either in the actual comic or in the comments section. Have you ever seen the band live on stage?
Live? I wish. No, just the anime, music video, and album/soundtrack.
The only dope for you is me!
This may end well but there’s the chance it could all go to Hell
Can’t tell if jacket grab
or boob grab
jeez she’s really gettin in there. Billie and Ruth do foreplay hardcore.
Can’t it be both?
If it’s a boob grab then I feel bad for Ruth.
I’m thinking jacket grab. Because she’s learned that’s how to get Ruth to kiss her.
They really are playing depression musical chairs.
I keep hoping that if you slam two drama hurricanes together like naked GI Joes they cancel each other out and turn into a nice comfortable low-pressure front.
They form a MegaHurricane. It’s a hurricane that is spinning other hurricanes around.
Are you suggesting that one will spin the other right round, baby, right round, like a record baby, baby right round?
I think they call that a Hurricanado.
Billie and Ruth will combine and create a Drama Super Hurricane.
….Damnit…I’m pledging. Damn you Willis.
I wish that I could turn back time
cos now the guilt is all mine
can’t live without
the trust from those you love
I know we can’t forget the past
you can’t forget love & pride
because of that, it’s killing me inside
this song is a bit suicidal while remaining relevant to the subject. A little bit too close for comfort to me. (hopefully, no trucks)
Sooo… Next strip they hug until they turn into orange juice?
“I’m toxic! If I don’t leave I’ll kill you! You must let me stay!”
Not exactly the best pitch ever.
This is the point where “Best Actress” Academy Awards screener starts.
“For her amazing acting role as “Ruth’s alcohol bottle #7, Jenna Reshawd wins the Academy Award!!!”
Truly she is a legend among bottle fairies.
Cause every rose has it’s thorns…
*lighter in air* Hey, I miss the 90’s, what can I say.
Like a kiss from a rose on the grey?
It’s “on the grave”
You would think, but I’ve ben Well, Actually’ed on that before!
been, even!
Huh. I always figured it was a reference to leaving flowers on graves, but Google backs up “on the gray”.
That song makes way less sense now.
And it didn’t make much sense to begin with
For what it’s worth, HE’S taken kind of a Reader Response angle on his lyrics – if you hear something else, then he feels that those are the lyrics FOR YOU.
I blame the late ’80s/early ’90s.
kill me now
Violence or poison?
JUST KIDDING, WE HAVE BOTH
The National Weather Service has issued a severe storm warning for the Funny Parts of the Internet following the merging of drama-hurricanes Billie and Ruth into Super Typhoon Brüth….
Them feels are reals. Just look into Billie’s eyes, Ruth!
Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!
Oh, it is so much better as a boob grab.
HERE I AM
I’M A DRAMA HURRICANE
+1 =D
You know i was going to edit some more of the lyrics to match but they seem to fit pretty okay as they are.
TONIGHT A HURRICANE
DRAMA HURRICANE
SPENDIN’ THIS LONELY NIGHT ARGUING
Learning about poisons is the first step in developing antidotes.
…Can two hurricanes hit each other? Like, is it meteorologically possible? What would happen?
Superstorm Sandy?
No, Sandy was a subtropical storm formed when a minor tropical vortex was captured by a temperate cold front.
In principle, yes, two tropical vortices can merge. That’s not what usually happens: usually, the stronger of the two sucks up the water and the heat that the other one needs, leading the weaker to dissipate. Of course, that doesn’t seem too dissimilar to what we’re seeing here.
So one of them would become a more intense drama hurricane and the other one will die? That sounds scarily like what happened to Billy and Ruth. I don’t know how I feel about this metaphor anymore.
See, I thought they’d just suck up the heat faster, causing both storms to dissipate, or at least calm down. And that’d be good! They’d calm each other down, no longer 2 drama hurricanes, able to interact with other people without busting up their windows.
…I think that got away from me at the end there.
… Well I feel stupid. I guess I’m too used to the branded LCBO bags in Ontario. I didn’t read the comments last comic and honestly though she had a sub in her hand.
She can quit those grinders ANY TIME SHE WANTS
Haha! I’m glad some one else thought it was wierd due to their specific upbringing. Think Ruth might also be Nostalgic for them?

“Yeah, I don’t care.”
♪ Caaan you feel…the looove tonight… ♫
K-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-kiss the girl
She has a chance to fix what she broke: Seems like a win to me. + Danny’s line “I’ve spent the last few days feeling useless, and so I’d really be grateful for a chance to solve a problem for somebody”
She could always try to help Ruth, but that’s what got her into the current situation in the first place. What I think Billie really needs to do is say that she’s sorry about hurting Ruth. Just stopping Ruth from the physical act of drinking won’t solve anything if Billie keeps hurting her so she’ll want to drink to escape the pain.
But if Billie’s willing to admit failure and that she’s been bad to Ruth, that hopefully means they’ll reconcile soon. I hope.
What I want to hear (read) Billie say is “(and) I don’t want to cause you that much pain again either”, or something to that effect. And mean it.
Girls, neither of you is Poison. Poison has pink hair and is in a gang.
and is transgender
And manages a huge German wrestler.
I thought Hugo Andore was supposed to be Italian.
That’s right Billie! Grab her tits! Grab them hard! Now kiss!
That sounds painful.
The way she’s digging her fingers in there? That sounds horrible.
Some people are into it.
….her lips or her boobs?
I have a feeling the answer to this question is “YES!”

It was nice knowing you guys. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v373/cliodhnaglen/GoDownWithShip_zps6d1a95a0.gif
And I won’t put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I’m involved with the love lives of comic strip characters and always will be
It’s the dose that makes the poison, as Paracelsus said.
(And as a reply to a comment from two days ago, yes I am the E.M.L. from S.M.E.)
Even in pharmaceutical classes today, they say that the only difference between a medicine and a poison is the dosage.
So that means Ruth and Billie need small doses of each other.
…Neither of them is the kind of person who OFFERS small doses of themselves. Loud and proud, they both are.
That girl is poisooooooooooon.

Please allow me to show you a trick. I’ve found it fairly useful for this kind of thing.

Just screw already!
OTP: Poisonous Drama Hurricane.
And here is another example of why this comments section needs a “like” or upvote system. Because adding to the comment count just to say “you are right” is just so wrong.
This is the Billie Walky likes..not the depressed one.Go Billie!! (shakes pom poms)
So what happens to the whole trying to be a better person thing?
I love these girls too much.
In this case two doses of poison may equal a cure.
WHY CAN’T I QUIT YOU?!
KISS HER YOU FOOL!
Well, if Ruth’s poison then I’m nuclear.
Billienado vs. Sharkruthtopus!
Little do we know that bag actually has a giant sharpie in it, for drawing whiteboard ding-dongs.
It’s all coming together.
It’s too early for me to be this sad.
Sooooo….
as we have 2 poisons, does negative+negative equals a positive in this scenario? Or you just die quickly from overdose?
Poison’s in the dose, not the substance!
Are the drama hurricanes about to turn into a drama sharknado?
So if this was happening in Southeast Asia, would they be drama typhoons?
So who’s the perfectly rhythmical remedy?
The antidote for poison is derived from the same poison. A match made in heaven!
And by “Heaven”, of course, you mean “Hell” ;3
Now, kiss
Am I the only one who thought of “Welcome to the NHK”? Two screwed-up people saving each other?
Actually, yes, yes you might be… but now that you mention it the theme is kinda there. And now I want to go read that manga again.
I don’t think either of them are /quite/ that fucked up.
But if you’re both Poison then who will be Hugo?
Two wrongs can’t make a right.
I wonder if anyone has learned to check Ruth’s garbage nightly? Money-saver.
Things are getting too real
I wonder if Billie’s going to get a drawing of a wiener transferred onto her.
Lemme add to the clinking on the wine glasses: “Kiss her! KISS HER!!!”
Super happy to see that story progress. It’s got to be my favourite by far, the hole those two dug themselves into is easiest for me to relate.
Glad that it wasn’t Billie bringing alcohol to Ruth. Can we just make them kiss and go to counseling together or something? BE WELL SO YOU CAN BE HAPPY TOGETHER.
This person has not yet figured out how this comic works.
When Willis gets tired of all this he’ll post a single-panel comic that just says “And they all got counseling and lived happily ever after. The end.”
Could it be that I’m the only reader hearing background “Talk Dirty to Me” by, well, you know….
What’s with the paperbag with stapled-on paper-thing?
I gather she’s concealing some bottle of what I assume is beer in it?
Knowing Ruth I’d guess that it’s something stronger than a single beer
Most liquor stores in the US sell their product in a paper bag with the top stapled on to allow patrons to carry the booze without triggering laws that prevent the public consumption of booze. Ruth’s been to the liquor store and bought something (illegally, I think — I believe she’s twenty.)
Aha. Yeah the stapled bag looked kinda specific, that’s what I was curious about.
They don’t even have bags in liquor stores here. (some envi
ronmental-friendly measure, but I know all they want is to sell you their overpriced reusable bags) You either need to bring your own resuable bag, or carry it in your hands
and risk having some policemen bother you if they see it.
Now kiss. NOW KISS DAMMIT!
I will be pretty surprised if that’s not where this is going.
Dude don’t jinx it.
That’s the kind of thing you say that makes a writer go all “oh well, I’ll change my story since it’s so predictable” if he or she reads it.
Three month long buffer, remember.
Though I would love for them to not kiss.
Welp, now they won’t kiss on December 21st.
Man, early college years are hard business
She’s poison….poison running through your veins…
So, some of the commenters were correct, that is booze. So she buys the bottle then throws it away? That is one expensive hobby.
Additional comment, last panel. Doesn’t it hurt getting your boob pulled like that?
Because she totally is yanking on her boob and not just grabbing the shirt.
No kidding – if somebody dug their fingers that deeply into an actual boob I’d expect to see spurting blood.
Ask yourself this: would it hurt having someone grab your nipple and pull like that? I think that really should answer your question for you…
Dear Kettle:
You’re black…
Love, Pot
Dear Sal:
You’re black.
Love, Walky
This will either them fighting or fucking
One hopes it winds up the latter.
when poisoned conteract with another poision it may save you
Apparently Billie does not have her fingers digging into any thing other than fabric, or else Ruth would not look nearly as calm..she just looks sorta non-plused.
RL these would be a terrible match.
Here, they need each other. Go for it. Apologise for lying to Ruth. Forgive her Ruth.
Try again. Join AA. You can do it together.
So, what DID Ruth mean by that?
