Daaawww.
While technically it’s still 2 hours here till New Year, I’ll go ahead and say Happy New Years. Hopefully this year won’t be as shitty as the previous one.
15 minutes until midnight in my area. I’m staying up so I don’t make the mistake they make in those slasher movies when they shoot the slasher and then find out later its still alive. I’M MAKING SURE 2017 IS DEAD AND WILL NEVER COME BACK.
At the start of 2017, I made one resolution:
Get through it, somehow.
I did. And now, thanks to this and other things, I have hope again.
Let’s keep that rolling ahead into the new year.
FIRST KISS OF THE YEAR THEY HAVE TO BE TOGETHER FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER YEAR RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT?! Then again, one year rl is like 3 weeks dumbiverse time ahhhhhhh
I second that. 2017 was hellish in a way I couldn’t believe. It’s like it was competing with 2016 to see who could be the worse year.
Also, it’s nice to see you again Cerberus. I haven’t been here in the comments that often for months because of my first semester as an actual teacher. Here’s hoping that next year is good for you.
Focusing on the US, Trump’s lost momentum and support and is increasingly having trouble doing shitty stuff. The Senate margin is razor-thin. There’s a blue wave building. The military trans ban is gone. Pot is being increasingly legalized (meaning less incarceration). Society is actually giving a damn about sexual harassment. The economic recovery’s finally reached the lower economic classes. Minimum wages are rising. And since Trump got the three months he needed to get a clear picture of what’s going on, the travel ban’s gotta be going away any day now, right?
I’m waiting for an entire closet’s worth of other shoes to drop, but for right now, this is sweet and happy and I love it and the holiday season has made me a sop.
Happy New Year, David. Thanks for all your hard work and your lovely comic. Hope you and your family have the best in all things in 2018.
I won’t lie – that last panel made me tear up a little bit. It’s just so sweet. Count me as one of the readers who is REALLY rooting for Billie and Ruth.
I’m more maudlin than usual because today (well, actually yesterday now) is also my 17th year anniversary with my partner. Before I met him I’d paid for a hotel room in Boston for New Year’s Eve 1999. (And I am TOTALLY dating myself here!) At the time you had to make reservations a year or more in advance. When I booked the room I assumed it would be for me and my then-current partner. But things went to h3ll with him unexpectedly quickly. I didn’t want to give up the hotel reservation so I decided I was going to invite all my friends and we’d have a party for the millenium in the hotel room. My friends at the time included my now-current partner. He and I were very good friends and sometimes flirted with each other but hadn’t hooked up and I wasn’t sure it was going to go beyond friendship. Well, ten or so people in a hotel room is a LOT – I landed up basically sitting in my current partner’s lap. One of our other friends looked at us and asked, “So, how long have you two been together?” We stared at each other and said, “UM….” But that was kind of the moment when we realized we were more than friends.
I just got up and read the strip, so I have to say 2018 is looking good so far.
These two have shown considerable capacity for mutual destruction. It is becoming clear that there is considerable capacity for mutual healing as well.
I know that happy couples make for poor stories, but please Mr Willis, bore me to death with productive RA/student days and candlelight evenings. I’m such a jerk, I deserve to see them thrive unto their grandkid years.
Thank you, Willis.
This made me starting off my day (after having just a few hours rest because transport home from a friends place in the night took so damn long) so much better
I think this strip is a great way to start the year.It speaks so much hope in seven frames.While life isn’t always fair and eventually bad things happen.But for the moment these two get to just enjoy being together,without fear.And right now that is what matters.Let later wait.Now is what is important.
I’m still bracing for one of those “character lets their ego get out of control and alienates everyone close to them” plot arcs with regards to Billie because I just can’t see another purpose to the weird hero worship over at Forest Hall.
other things that can happen at Forest Hall:
– only personally Lucy gets hurt/alienated by the hero worship, and Billie has to do damage control on that;
– Billie eventually comes to realize she doesnt /actually/ like being treated this way;
– Billie is actually okay, and some other arc starts instead
I totally identify with this. My husband and I didn’t “date” until long after we were together, so our first actual-for-real-dates were that much more special. This feels like a lovely, warm nostalgia hug.
YESS I am so happy with their progress. Ruth is getting help and not hating herself right now. Billie is still into the relationship even with it taking this healthier turn for normal and happy. I was so afraid she was going to recoil at this idea of a normal cute date. I bet this was just the reassurance Ruth needed that Billy still cares about her.
Loading ...
Happy new year erryone
Also, this is a really sweet strip.
It so is!
And happy new year, all. May your year be totally super worth it.
Happy New Year ou!
Yay first
And this is fucking cute
Dammit.
Happy Mew year I guess Mr D
Happy new year.
Also, your post is gonna get deleted, “First” are one of the few things that gets your post deleted
Aww come on, the first time I thought I was first ever…
Oh well.
I thought it was saying first, and nothing else that would get your post deleted.
We’re all alive on the inside. Whether we feel it or not.
Except for trees. They’re only alive on the outside. They’re cold and dead in their heartwoods.
(And that’s a good thing. …. for trees, at least.)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlgJs_G8Co8
daaaaw
And, of course, they’re kissing, midnight, New Years Eve. Did you plan that, Willis?
AAAAAAAAHHH
*deep breath*
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH
sweetness overload. ;-;
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3
I think Billie and Ruth were due something to get excited about.
I hope nothing fucks this up :c
It’s a date storylinein a college tramedy (tragedy/comedy) series.
WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?
The forest crew think less of her for being a lesbian. They could all be secretly homophobes.
RAs all have genders matching the wing they manage, the Forest crew already knows that Billie slept with her RA, and they think it’s super-cool.
Well, for a starter, Billie didn’t actually say “Yes.”
Thank you for starting the year on a good note. I feel we all needed that.
How sweet!
Well, glad to know 2018 is off to a good start somewhere. Even if it’s not New Year’s there.
Watch as there’s a timeskip for the storyline New Year’s…whenever that happens in the 2020’s.
thank you for this small blessing
I’m not crying your … aw I’m crying like it’s the end of Coco. Good Job Mr. Willis!
Awww, they’re not being toxic to each other!
Happy New Year!
Some people are made for each other
Some people can love one another for life…
How ‘Bout Us?
THIS IS SO FUCKING CUTE
Waaaait.
Billie didn’t say yes.
Is that an acceptance kiss or a pity-before-I-break-your-heart kiss?
…..
I’m GUESSING it’s the first, but this is Willis, and he is damnable.
One sweet moment to start off 2018.
This is amazing. Thank you for this, willis.
This is the best way to start off the new year.
Welp, year’s going to be downhill from here.
Do you kiss your mother with that tongue?
You kiss your mother with tongue?
Man, it’s so great to have these two being cute in a non-horrifying way.
The horror will occur later, BWAHAHAHA!
I can see that happening lmao
And everyone who’s stated that this is adorable is right, I can’t…
Happy New Year everyone
Daaawww.
While technically it’s still 2 hours here till New Year, I’ll go ahead and say Happy New Years. Hopefully this year won’t be as shitty as the previous one.
Oh my goood thank you, Willis.
Now this is the best way to start a year! (I mean, 2018 began two hours ago for me, but you know what, the sentiment still stands).
15 minutes until midnight in my area. I’m staying up so I don’t make the mistake they make in those slasher movies when they shoot the slasher and then find out later its still alive. I’M MAKING SURE 2017 IS DEAD AND WILL NEVER COME BACK.
I’m glad to see 2017 in my rearview mirror as well.
At the start of 2017, I made one resolution:
Get through it, somehow.
I did. And now, thanks to this and other things, I have hope again.
Let’s keep that rolling ahead into the new year.
Glad to hear you made it through as well. Congrats
Hope things work out for you and that 2018 doesn’t
suck as much as 2017 did.
2018 will be another crappy year unless we do something about it.
I’m demonstrating tomorrow for Net Neutrality.
There’s a Mountain Goats song I’ve adopted as a mantra for just that mindset. The chorus hooks “I am gonna make it through this year if it kills me.”
Y’know, if Billie and Ruth’s relationship started in 2017, that would explain a fuckin’ lot.
Right now I feel Very Alive.
When I have to wake up at 9 AM with a wicked hangover and go to work?
Probably not so much.
Best New Year’s strip ever!
This is so nice….please let this be a good omen for the new year.
WHAT A GOOD START TO THE NEW YEAR <333333
FIRST KISS OF THE YEAR THEY HAVE TO BE TOGETHER FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER YEAR RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT?! Then again, one year rl is like 3 weeks dumbiverse time ahhhhhhh
Oh good.
We’re still a couple of hours out as I write this, but happy new year.
Please.
hhnnngggglblblblblblblblbbgfgffggnngnggg <3!
OM NOM NOM
Yeeeeesssssss!!!!!!!!
I love these assholes so much! <3
Yay for a happy healthy date and a growth from trauma, self-doubt, and pain.
May we all get our respite from the hell that has been 2017.
I second that. 2017 was hellish in a way I couldn’t believe. It’s like it was competing with 2016 to see who could be the worse year.
Also, it’s nice to see you again Cerberus. I haven’t been here in the comments that often for months because of my first semester as an actual teacher. Here’s hoping that next year is good for you.
I third that, I really hope that 2018 doesn’t try to live up to its predecessors
Oh I don’t know. 2017 delivered on a lot of the hell promised by 2016, but it also gave us a buttload of bright new hope.
That LITERALLY translates as hopeful sunshine blown up our asses.
…. but yeah, okay, there’s signs of things improving.
can you tell me what they are so I don’t have to pick through lots of bad news to find them?
Focusing on the US, Trump’s lost momentum and support and is increasingly having trouble doing shitty stuff. The Senate margin is razor-thin. There’s a blue wave building. The military trans ban is gone. Pot is being increasingly legalized (meaning less incarceration). Society is actually giving a damn about sexual harassment. The economic recovery’s finally reached the lower economic classes. Minimum wages are rising. And since Trump got the three months he needed to get a clear picture of what’s going on, the travel ban’s gotta be going away any day now, right?
I N that. No doubt at all that this is the best thing I’ll see on my screen all day.
And a happy new year to you Cerberus. And to each of us, every one.
starting the new year out right, love it
NOT DAMN YOU WILLIS
I’d say bless you willis but it doesn’t have that same impact
I’m waiting for an entire closet’s worth of other shoes to drop, but for right now, this is sweet and happy and I love it and the holiday season has made me a sop.
Happy New Year, David. Thanks for all your hard work and your lovely comic. Hope you and your family have the best in all things in 2018.
They are doing it! They are growing towards a healthy relationship!
Now this is how you start 2018!
New Year kiss! <3
WILLIS I SWEAR TO GOD DON’T YOU DARE HURT ME BY HURTING THEM OR I WILL MAIL YOU MY TEARS
Yes I’m still here, and that’s a good way to start the year!
*sniff*
I think that panel 4 is honestly the sweetest (in romantic terms) panel that Willis has ever drawn of which I’m aware.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
Dawwww. <3
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!
I won’t lie – that last panel made me tear up a little bit. It’s just so sweet. Count me as one of the readers who is REALLY rooting for Billie and Ruth.

And we’re still more than friends…17 years later.
Awesome!
If it was New Year’s Eve 1999 (going into 2000), and it is now 2018, then shouldn’t this be your 18th anniversary?
*high pitched scream*
Thanks ending and bengining with….love.
Why I hate typing on phones!
I don’t know. Y U h8 typing on phones?
A good comic page for a hopeful New Year.
Happy New Year all!
Such a cute strip to start 2018.
Akemashite omedetou gozainya~
Bonne année !
Xin nian quai le to you too!
Gong He Fat Choi!
Oh, wait, 6 weeks early…
Yes alt-text Willis, Somehow we haven’t been blown apart yet.
I just got up and read the strip, so I have to say 2018 is looking good so far.
These two have shown considerable capacity for mutual destruction. It is becoming clear that there is considerable capacity for mutual healing as well.
I know that happy couples make for poor stories, but please Mr Willis, bore me to death with productive RA/student days and candlelight evenings. I’m such a jerk, I deserve to see them thrive unto their grandkid years.
I love these guys, can we make there relationship wacky and crazy but full of love mister willis? PWEASE?!
D’awwwwwwwwwwwwww and Squeeeeeeeeeeeee :)))))))
“Us?”
<3
Thank you, Willis.
This made me starting off my day (after having just a few hours rest because transport home from a friends place in the night took so damn long) so much better
BEST
Wow, so these two are kinda queer, huh?
HUH
starting the new year with beautiful gays is the only proper way
Is this the most public they’ve been with displays since the hand-holding after Ruth’s stay away?
This is a good way to start 2018 with a moment of happiness and hope for the future. Knowing that from mutual destruction mutual growth is possible.
Thanks Willis, to you a good year.
Yes we are alive. Starting off the year with a moment of pure goodness. Thank you Willis.
*checks personal structural integrity*
Can confirm, seem to have survived 2017. It’s over, thank everything.
I’ll second that.
yeeesssssssss
happynesss!
finallyyyyyy
yaaaaaaaayy
So Cute.
Don’t you DARE make them have to cancel because of Angst.
I wanna see an ADORABLE GODDAMN DATE MISTER
Please be good to us, Willis! I want this to be nice for them so bad.
Yaay they’re pulling out of their mutually destructive codependent death spiral and developing a healthy relationship out of it!
yesss
I think this strip is a great way to start the year.It speaks so much hope in seven frames.While life isn’t always fair and eventually bad things happen.But for the moment these two get to just enjoy being together,without fear.And right now that is what matters.Let later wait.Now is what is important.
Yes, We are still alive.
Also, We were very pleased that this year, there were about 45 seconds worth of fireworks around us. Distracted us less from playing video games.
Huza!
I’m still bracing for one of those “character lets their ego get out of control and alienates everyone close to them” plot arcs with regards to Billie because I just can’t see another purpose to the weird hero worship over at Forest Hall.
other things that can happen at Forest Hall:
– only personally Lucy gets hurt/alienated by the hero worship, and Billie has to do damage control on that;
– Billie eventually comes to realize she doesnt /actually/ like being treated this way;
– Billie is actually okay, and some other arc starts instead
*Joyce, steeples fingers.*
Just as planned.
CUTE
I want to hug them
They are a bit busy right now.
Thank you, Willis. <3
Where’s the “Like” button?
I’m sure Ruth and Billie will find it in due time.
Just like their first kiss.
You know the one where Billie was thrown into a wall and sexually assaulted by Ruth, but it’s okay because lesbians.
*sigh*
Except it’s not like that, because there’s no assault here.
Few here disagree that the start was screwed up, but they’ve come a long way.
They’re going to be fine.
I totally identify with this. My husband and I didn’t “date” until long after we were together, so our first actual-for-real-dates were that much more special. This feels like a lovely, warm nostalgia hug.
YESS I am so happy with their progress. Ruth is getting help and not hating herself right now. Billie is still into the relationship even with it taking this healthier turn for normal and happy. I was so afraid she was going to recoil at this idea of a normal cute date. I bet this was just the reassurance Ruth needed that Billy still cares about her.
Eeeeeeeeeee!
Ruth is being amazeballs. (Has she ever said “Yes, Please” in the entire strip before this?).
And so, they IMMEDIATELY started f@{%ing. The “date” never actually happened, but their relationship was deepened.
yessss
bweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
