You know, I’m sure Ruth’s conduct can be reported to someone… stealing and (I assume) damaging another student’s property? I’m sure the school would love to know she engages in such activities.
However, to address your point…
1) Ruth is the Resident Adviser for the ladies side of this dorm. The RA’s are to be treated like the Egyptian deity for which they’re named.
2) So far the damage is threatened. Any accusation of theft would have to be taken up with campus security, to which the RA could just claim said item to be “lost & found” without proof of theft.
3) I know this isn’t related to this comic, but is the thing that should not be in this universe the Alan Moore-Rob Liefeld collaboration?
i say he pulls the girls trick and asks mike to join him in the restroom, where he’ll then proceed to ducktape mike to a urinal.. joyce would then probably be so confused without a chaperone that she’d probably accept whatever joe wanted. if he took advantage of that i’d then have to jump into the comic and destroy him sooo i hope he’s smarter then that
Preamble:
By going on this date the undersigned, hereafter referred to as ‘the Gentleman’, agrees to one fist to the face if the conditions of Clause A are met.
Joyce asked Mike despite his “payment”. I think she’s going for someone who can and will break bones if needed, not someone she considers a “friend”, a “hero”, or even a good person.
Joyce isn’t a total naive ditz this time around… she understands SOME parts of dating involve the guy possibly wanting in your pants… she went to the two most intimidating and accessible people she had met thus far.
There is just something really creepy / adoroble with how Joyce is in regards to her whole approach to dating.
And I’m really surprised Joe’s reaction isn’t: “I’m not going on a date with a Chaperon.” I mean, even if he wasn’t interested in solely “Joe-ing” her, who’d be able to enjoy a date with Mike glowering at you, and eying the dumpster behind the pizza place?
I don’t know why but it really bothers me who much Ruth is straight up abusing her position and harassing Billie. Sure Billie didn’t make a good first impression, but Ruth is taking this way too damn far.
Way to not get the context of the comic. Joyce’s dad normally chaperones her dates. This is the first one where her dad’s unavailable, so she sought someone to fill in.
What are the odds Billie’s dead to the world and Sal will be like “what roommate form?” when Ruth walks in. I know cheerleader uniform fabrics usually stretch, but can Billie fit that thing? It looks Dina-sized.
Maybe it’s my overdeveloped sense of property rights, but the notion of Ruth carelessly destroying Billie’s prized possession crosses the line from “doing her job much more harshly than necessary” to “horrible person who needs to be destroyed.”
I don’t think I like DOARuth very much. There’re other ways to handle the problem there.
YES. Mike is an awesome chaperone. As long as he’s not chaperoning your mom, I mean.
(Also, since the last strip is called “Three”, I basically have this mental image of Mike, Joyce, and Joe dancing to the song. Just thought I’d share that with you lot).
What I don’ understand is, is why Mike is so willing to punch people in the face who clearly have more muscle mass then him, when he doesn’t have Abductee strength any more?
Even if he was willing to punch cockblockers (hehehe) in the FAAAACE, Joe must realize that doing so would most likely turn Joyce against him, she being a naif and all. That gets in the way of perrogative #1: Get Laid.
I think it’s less a question of why Mike’s willing and more a question of why Joe isn’t yet pulling the tough guy card and pointing out the size difference.
Mike didn’t have super strength during the Its Walky! run. He got it the same way everyone but Sal and Walky did, he was placed in the resurrection machine. That apparently happened sometime between the end of IW! and beginning of his appearance in SP.
Mike’s just always been a badass with a high tolerance for pain.
Is it weird that I actually like Billie? I mean, I know she can be a jerk or whatever but she’s always been on the top of the world and now she isn’t anymore and she doesn’t know what to do. I feel like most of us go through that moment of our lives but hopefully sooner than college. It happened to me in high school, so it wasn’t too bad.
I dunno..I just feel sorry for her and I want her to shape up and mature…I also feel what Ruth is planning to do is mean, cause some of us need those memories. But it could lead to a good epiphany for Billie that she needs to let go of high school and figure out college. hmmm….
I’m totally with you on that. I want Billie to get better and this whole situation with Ruth and Sal basically fucking her over might make her stronger but it sucks that she has to undergo that crap this early. She just needs to grow up, but it seems like Ruth is just being an ass because she can, not to actually be of help.
Is Joe’s use of the word “we” a go-to move to get Joyce to feel closer to him quicker or is it a subtle indication of his falling for Joyce?
(Hidden answer C: or I am reading too much into his choice of pronouns).
I will likely become the ire of many people… but I am GLAD Ruth is a total b*tch! I like her that way. I mean, she came off as one back during Roomies!. There was also this huge animosity between her and Billie in Roomies!, so it makes sense for it to exist here too. However, whereas in Roomies! we saw Billie being as much of or even more of a b*tch than Ruth, here we see the positions have changed.
Plus I’m a sucker for a woman who will go out of her way to make people’s lives miserable.
… there is something seriously wrong with me. I think I need to be punched. In the FAAAAAAAAACE.
Uhhhh… You need to go back and reread Roomies. Ruth practically -raised- Billie, so there was no “huge animosity between them.” The only animosity Billie had was for Mary, for her two-faced lies, and Sal, for her inability to move on with her life and leave Danny be (and by then we were into “It’s Walky!”, anyway.) Ruth and Billie weren’t huge bongoes back during Roomies, either, Billie just had some rather large family problems (both parents lushes with mother being promiscuous, if recalled correctly), and Ruth just made sure Joe got the message to stop abusing her little brother Howard. You sure you were readin’ the same comic I was? o.O
See I’m not so sure she’s going to trash her outfit.
Possibly modify it so it fits just a tad too snugly. Hence Billie thinks she’s getting fat and gets messed around and any chance of reprimanding goes out the window.
Or maybe I’m over-estimating her IDK. Besides she’d fearless too.
Or possibly Ruth’s busy night consists of walking past Billie’s room a few times, cheerleader outfit in one hand and scissors in the other, saying “snip snip snip!” and cackling evilly?
Loading ...
So who gets it in the FAAAAAAAACE first? Mike or Ruth?
Someone’s going to get Joe’d in the FAAACE?
Someone’s going to get Joed in the FAAAACE with his penis.
Well, it’s clearly not going to be Joyce. Not tonight, at least.
Depends on whose definition of “inappropriate”.
Someone’s going to get Mike’d* in the face.
No Ruth! Not the uniform! And I love how Mike is so Mike.
This is going to end well.
Oh so well. Though perhaps not too well for Joe’s Penis.
This is NOT going to end well.
This is going to end AWESOME.
But since Mike’s there, he could jump kick something and it might end LAWSOME. With political science Professor Bart O’Ryan.
Is… is it bad if I ship Ruth and Mike just a little bit now?
do it. for a nickel.
No! Sal and Mike!!!
They will rule the world <3
Yes, but it’s okay. We can be wrong together.
Is it bad if I ship you and Alix just a little bit now?
that is so awesome of ruth..but wat is she doing? a billiekini perhaps
I harbor perverse sexual lust for the Billiekini :p
Mike+Ruth one of the most enjoyable strips so far
Strips, or ships?
Yes.
Ah, so she did ask Ruth first.
I still think Joe’s better off with Mike. He believes in “love or whatever,” after all. *snrk*
“Whatever” being “his penis”.
Mike often tells the truth in the worst possible way.
The sad part is he MIGHT actually be telling the truth… Mike has morals… he’s just also an asshole.
That would be a fun twist on Mike.
In the FAAAAAAAAACE!!!
FAAAAAAACE!
You couldn’t possibly have a better avatar in this situation.
*crosses fingers and hopes my FAAAACE turns out to be Billie’s*
Mike: his mere presence fills me with laughter.
Everyone who picked “I harbor perverse sexual lust” in the poll is getting punched in the FAAAAAACE.
True Fans pick “perverse sexual lust” at every opportunity.
Especially if it’s about a puppy.
To bad they’re in dorms.
Or else Joyce could have a puppy.
Hear hear!!
True Fans are getting punched in the FAAAAAAAAAAACE
Well it is “perverse” and not just “sexual lust…” although i dont quite know if that was what Willis was going for
For those confused, PSL is a classic David Willis fandom phrase.
Here’s the Walkypedia entry:
http://www.walkypedia.com/index.php/PSL
The term Perverse Sexual Lust has spread around quite a bit since then.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PerverseSexualLust
I harbor perverse sexual lust for your Dina avatar.
By Mike. Which is Acceptable. <3 I heart me that jackass.
You know, I’m sure Ruth’s conduct can be reported to someone… stealing and (I assume) damaging another student’s property? I’m sure the school would love to know she engages in such activities.
People have done much worse in dorms and gotten away with it. That’s the fun of living in them
Holy crap, it’s Linkara!
However, to address your point…
1) Ruth is the Resident Adviser for the ladies side of this dorm. The RA’s are to be treated like the Egyptian deity for which they’re named.
2) So far the damage is threatened. Any accusation of theft would have to be taken up with campus security, to which the RA could just claim said item to be “lost & found” without proof of theft.
3) I know this isn’t related to this comic, but is the thing that should not be in this universe the Alan Moore-Rob Liefeld collaboration?
Linkara is Walky! My day is offically complete I can just go to bed now nothing will top the awesome of that.
Meh, Ruth could be easily sanctioned. You just need to hire the late Roy Scheider and present him with a highly advanced attack helicopter.
in the faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace with joes penis.
on a side note, i’d be totally pissed in joes shoes.
Dont piss in Joe’s shoes. That’s just low. Man’s already not getting any tonight.
i say he pulls the girls trick and asks mike to join him in the restroom, where he’ll then proceed to ducktape mike to a urinal.. joyce would then probably be so confused without a chaperone that she’d probably accept whatever joe wanted. if he took advantage of that i’d then have to jump into the comic and destroy him sooo i hope he’s smarter then that
Preamble:
By going on this date the undersigned, hereafter referred to as ‘the Gentleman’, agrees to one fist to the face if the conditions of Clause A are met.
Clause A:
Mike feels you need punched.
Signature: _________ Date: ______
Is Ruth going to go torment Billie some more? I expect her to find Billie and Walky both drunk on whiskey and McNuggets.
This has to happen! Willis, make this happen!
“Again, I’m not friends with him!”
This comic is full of win!
I thought Joyce saw Ruth as a bully? And Billie as her hero? Promptly replaced by Sal? So who should be the real chaperone here, hmm?
I’m glad someone else caught that Joyce thought Ruth was a bully. Doesn’t entirely make sense to me but otherwise today’s strip is cake.
Joyce asked Mike despite his “payment”. I think she’s going for someone who can and will break bones if needed, not someone she considers a “friend”, a “hero”, or even a good person.
Joyce isn’t a total naive ditz this time around… she understands SOME parts of dating involve the guy possibly wanting in your pants… she went to the two most intimidating and accessible people she had met thus far.

I don’t know why but it really bothers me who much Ruth is straight up abusing her position and harassing Billie. Sure Billie didn’t make a good first impression, but Ruth is taking this way too damn far.
I’d let Mike punch me… in the FAAAAAAAACE. But there might be something wrong with me…
And then they’ll die.
Of face-punching.
With his penis.
MY LITTLE PONY AVATAR!!! Ahem…
My Little Pony DOCTOR WHO avatar. 98779807894057982043758904375980347509574389539482057834975023452345435345656435645643456542789073480685% cooler.
I betcha Joe won’t make it out of the pizza place with out getting punched. In the FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE.
With his penis.
That would leave more than a mark. Reattachment surgery may be required.
Uh-oh, Billie better hurry if she wants her uniform back in one piece! D:
I think Joyce made the right choice in chaperone.
Did Sarah suggest the chaperone? And if not, who did the screening?
Way to not get the context of the comic. Joyce’s dad normally chaperones her dates. This is the first one where her dad’s unavailable, so she sought someone to fill in.
That’s it. I’m totally shipping Ruth/Mike.
Which portmanteaus into “Muth.”
Which is the last name of an actress I harbor PSL for. Woohoo!
Mike doesn’t deserve that.
No, but Ruth DOES.
Said with an Amber avatar…. I love that.
Mike, you don’t understand! He got permission from her roommate to shove his dick all up in her! The green light has already been given!
Now I desperately want a t-shirt or something with a big image of Mike’s face and the text “I believe in Love and Stuff.”
I NEEDS ETT.
Yes.
I do not normally buy webcomics merchandise, but I would buy that shirt. I would buy the HELL out of that shirt.
All this Ruth/Mike shipping and you guys are somehow missing the obvious?
Joyce/Mike needs to happen.
Hmmmmmmm, so is Ruth going to walk in on a drunk Billie, or a post drunk, vomiting in the toilette, hung over Billie?
Drunk Billy AND Walky. Eating McNuggets!
Mike believes in loving or whatevering… your mom?
With his penis.
(Couldn’t resist).
For a nickel.
What are the odds Billie’s dead to the world and Sal will be like “what roommate form?” when Ruth walks in. I know cheerleader uniform fabrics usually stretch, but can Billie fit that thing? It looks Dina-sized.
Maybe it’s my overdeveloped sense of property rights, but the notion of Ruth carelessly destroying Billie’s prized possession crosses the line from “doing her job much more harshly than necessary” to “horrible person who needs to be destroyed.”

What I don’ understand is, is why Mike is so willing to punch people in the face who clearly have more muscle mass then him, when he doesn’t have Abductee strength any more?
Because he believes in punching or whatever.
True… But Joe looks like he can punch Cock-blockers…
… NOT GONNA SAY IT… NOT GONNA SAY IT…
Fine… with his penis.
Even if he was willing to punch cockblockers (hehehe) in the FAAAACE, Joe must realize that doing so would most likely turn Joyce against him, she being a naif and all. That gets in the way of perrogative #1: Get Laid.
I think it’s less a question of why Mike’s willing and more a question of why Joe isn’t yet pulling the tough guy card and pointing out the size difference.

Mike’s just always been a badass with a high tolerance for pain.
No, He was always as strong as Walky in IW! They both could “Benchpress a car”
Ruth is busy tonight… With my… Ehm. I suppose Billie didn’t find Sal…
Is it weird that I actually like Billie? I mean, I know she can be a jerk or whatever but she’s always been on the top of the world and now she isn’t anymore and she doesn’t know what to do. I feel like most of us go through that moment of our lives but hopefully sooner than college. It happened to me in high school, so it wasn’t too bad.

She just needs to grow up, but it seems like Ruth is just being an ass because she can, not to actually be of help.
Mike believes in love.
Loving your mom.
Only instead of loving, it’s fucking.
For a nickel.
With change due.
Is Joe’s use of the word “we” a go-to move to get Joyce to feel closer to him quicker or is it a subtle indication of his falling for Joyce?
(Hidden answer C: or I am reading too much into his choice of pronouns).
Joyce is a smart girl =)
Actually, it just occurred to me that she thought Ruth was a bully… so…? =’
*COGNITIVE DISSONANCE OH MY!*
Mike + Ruth, duo of doom.
Mike can fill in for her dad, because he’s already filled in her mom.
WIN.
with his penis
Oh, God, I adore Mike.
Curse my inability for sharp, witty comments. There’s one in my head, I’m sure of it, but it won’t come out. ;-;
Wait, did Ruth make Mike volunteer…?
Nobody makes Mike do anything. Mike does what he wants, remember?
I will likely become the ire of many people… but I am GLAD Ruth is a total b*tch! I like her that way. I mean, she came off as one back during Roomies!. There was also this huge animosity between her and Billie in Roomies!, so it makes sense for it to exist here too.

You sure you were readin’ the same comic I was? o.O
Hmm, I got it mixed up. It was her other roommates Billie couldn’t stand, and with Ruth gone she hated them even more to the point where she left.
Man, why do I recall their being such animosity between Billie and Ruth in Roomies?
See I’m not so sure she’s going to trash her outfit.
Possibly modify it so it fits just a tad too snugly. Hence Billie thinks she’s getting fat and gets messed around and any chance of reprimanding goes out the window.
Or maybe I’m over-estimating her IDK. Besides she’d fearless too.

Schh-edule?
She has chosen… wisely. ^_^
She sure knows how to select people skilled at punching-related assistance, considering she asked Ruth first!
Mike’s sad face, admitting to his one vulnerability.
