Yeah, sexuality isn’t defined by current interest or relationship. The only person to say she’s a lesbian is Howard and 1) she disagreed and 2) jesus, would you take Howard’s word for anything else? Really? Kid means well, but honestly thinks “Show me Game of Thrones!” is an appropriate thing to do when visiting your sister for the first time in… quite a while.
Actually, I’m not really sure the Ruth said she wasn’t lesbian. I think she said she wasn’t sure — but her comment to Billie later on (that they’d found out that she ‘liked girls’,) suggests that she was toning it down for her brother.
Of course, I thought the moment when her brother told Billie to take care of Ruth was unbearably touching…
That too, but I think it was more of the fact that, as far as we know, Ruth could be either lesbian or bisexual (and the latter seems likely, seeing as she pretty much said Billie was her first girl crush, meaning that before she thought she was either straight or asexual).
Oh, the possibilities.
And this doesn’t even get into regional terms– here in the South, for instance, people refer to underoos as “drawers” or “underdrawers”. (Pronounced “droors” or “draw-ers”, depending on the flavor of Southern drawl going on.)
On the other side of the statement (as I wrote this long-ass explanation and then thought “maybe I should just link the Wiki article” and then forgot the other half of what I was gonna say) trousers/jeans/et cetera are what Americans call pants commonly, although I do remember during a period that I was caretaking for a nonagenarian that she referred to her underthings as “pants”, so it may well be a (relatively) recent shift.
Also, knickers are calf-length trousers, what Brits might call plus fours, I believe. Sal used knickers to refer to undergarments, but that is very unusual; she probably got it from Jason.
I have only ever heard “knickers” used in older work or stuff set in the past, and in the phrase “(don’t) get your knickers in a twist”. It isn’t really a current word, at least not in the western US. Maybe in the South?
Mike probably has “something to take care of.” In private.
Amazi-Girl must have left Clark Wing before Walky got to Ruth, meaning she must have been there when Amazi-Girl was summoned to track down the Whiteboard Bandit, but of course nobody wanted to bother the only girl there that was affected and is also mean and scary. It also means that either Amazi-Girl has now seen the amazing D&MM-pants of Walky, or she took a different route. Then Amazi-Girl got to Mike before Ruth and Walky did, but Amazi-Girl had already left, no doubt evading Ruthless by way of an alternative route, which indicates that Amazi-Girl has not seen Walky’s amazing D&MM-pants.
There is a lot of to and fro between the wings even before everyone is getting dressed,, and Mike is the only one to bear witness to it. Mike knows all!
Other things that could have gotten Billie to talk:
1) Did you hear? They just lowered the drinking age to 18.
2) There’s some jocks having a naked towel fight in the hall. Should I tell them to pipe down so you can sleep?
3) Someone ran a Dragons cheerleader uniform up the flagpole. Wonder where they got it.
4) Joyce has announced her intention to “Get in on this Slipshine thing”, and wants to know where she can find one of those take-a-number machines that goes up to a billion.
5) My sister wants to know if you’d be interested in “experimenting” with her, but I told you you aren’t into science.
Safer would be for Billie to cut through the shared half bath.
Tricky to pull off successfully, though. Also, less dramatically pleasing, unless David is planning a bigger payoff later down the line.
Also, how do Gravatars even work I made an account but I still get the same comment form and even though I used my username and e-mail from Gravatar it’s still going to the default pictures.
Speaking of blushing, I now notice Walky doesn’t have those rosy cheeks that most of the others have. I thought for a moment that maybe it’s because of his dark skin, but then I saw Sarah in the banner, and she has rosy cheeks AND dark skin, so it can’t be that.
If he’s rooming with Mike, that makes this room rosy-cheek free. Hell, today’s page completely is rosy-cheek free.
I know that Amber/Amazi-Girl does not appear in this strip, but I just have to say it. I would love to see a retro 16-bit video game with Amazi-Girl. How much money do you need on Kickstarter? It’s not like you could find programming friends once you got the money.
Or you could learn to program in javascript yourself and do the whole thing using the graphic capabilities added to the new version of html. Or, as you say, using kickstater money and the programming friends that money could buy you. The sticking points are having a detailed vision of the way the game should work and intelectual property rights AKA permission from Willis.
I’ve read all of dumbing of age so far, but not the Walkyverse stuff. I don’t get it. What is the attraction of this character? He seems to me generally dumb and selfish and that’s it. Don’t like him at all. Is he supposed to be a “bad boy” (like a male version of his sister) or something? I checked the wikia but it didn’t really explain (there’s something about how he keeps having responsibility shoved onto him or something as he tries at every turn to dodge it… but that’s not endearing ini the least! ( and i think that’s from the Walkyverse, not here, though it would certainly apply to THIS comic))
Hmm. Alright, thanks for the clarification. “Rampaging immaturity” definitely does come through in DoA. But the other characters (e.g. obviously Dorothy) seem to like him for some reason and so do readers in the comments section here. I assume (at least for the readers) it’s because he’s the main character (by name) in the other universe(s), but based on what he’s like here i was having trouble imagining how that could be. (Did i mention that i don’t care for him? )
Sickly hung over pallor aside, Billie looks really cute in the fourth panel.
I really hope that the next two or ten strips focuses on Billie and Ruth, and that even if there is some sort of emotional blow-up on the part of one or both of them, it isn’t at the end of the scene, culminating in one of them storming off… I want this scene to end on a hopeful note! (Oh, who am I kidding? I want it to end with another Slipshine comic… But for now, I’ll take vaguely reconciliatory hopefulness…)
As for Mike… Who wants to bet he’s off to start a life of super villainy, so that he can experience more Amazi-tackles? And thus, an arch nemesis is born!
Eh, leave their coupledom to the original ‘verse. I kind of like what’s been going on between Amber and Danny in this continuity.
But Mike as her super villain nemesis is just too good! Especially if there’s ever some strange multi-dimensional crossover. Imagine how mind blowing it would be to Amazi-girl to see that somewhere, she did reciprocate his advances?
Heh. Billie is back in yellow and blue, while Ruth is wearing black and green; I find it amusing that for this confrontation, they’re back in the same colour scheme as when they first met.
For that matter, they’re back in their Roomies! colour schemes.
Sadly, I don’t support the Ruth/Billie ship because while there’s some interesting things going on there–it’s kind of depressing. I’d like to see Ruth with someone who isn’t a bundle of issues and the same for Billie. Maybe Ruth/Carla or Ruth/Malaya (oddly enough) because R/B have SIMILAR issues and they kind of feed each other’s worst side. In RL, I’d tell them to get the hell away from each other. The codependency isn’t the kind of thing which I think works.
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.

Jonathan Joss being shot outside his home while protecting his husband after being sent a threatening and distressing package is WHY we need Pride
It's 2025 and people are still being shot and killed for being queer

the thing about white liberal Americans is that they'll argue to accept bigots into their tent before accepting the bigots' targets.
the targets that have been on the same side as white liberals from the jump.
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.

wait why were you pantsless to see Ruth
Gotta show off those sweet Dexter boxers.
Many people are more reseptive when a caramel log is on offer.
Except Ruth doesn’t like caramel logs.
why wouldn’t she
Yeah, sexuality isn’t defined by current interest or relationship. The only person to say she’s a lesbian is Howard and 1) she disagreed and 2) jesus, would you take Howard’s word for anything else?

Of course, I thought the moment when her brother told Billie to take care of Ruth was unbearably touching…
Tired joke time: because Walky’s caramel log doesn’t taste of alcohol.
perfect gravitar is perfect.
yeah, uh, women with peen exist.
That too, but I think it was more of the fact that, as far as we know, Ruth could be either lesbian or bisexual (and the latter seems likely, seeing as she pretty much said Billie was her first girl crush, meaning that before she thought she was either straight or asexual).
Sweet OPM gravie.
Thanks, I only wish they would update, it has been a while.
Ehh, so long as Lil’ Walky wasn’t hanging out of his fly (again) he was dressed enough for it to be considered “jammies”
Because when you’re not wearing pants, people listen.
Mostly so the conversation can end quickly so you can leave them to put on pants.
To me, avec tee-shirt, sans trousers and pants … means he was naked from the waist down.
So what do Americans call pants???
Boxers, tighty-whities, panties… i’m sure there are other names/types too, but i can’t think of any.
Oh, the possibilities.
And this doesn’t even get into regional terms– here in the South, for instance, people refer to underoos as “drawers” or “underdrawers”. (Pronounced “droors” or “draw-ers”, depending on the flavor of Southern drawl going on.)
On the other side of the statement (as I wrote this long-ass explanation and then thought “maybe I should just link the Wiki article” and then forgot the other half of what I was gonna say) trousers/jeans/et cetera are what Americans call pants commonly, although I do remember during a period that I was caretaking for a nonagenarian that she referred to her underthings as “pants”, so it may well be a (relatively) recent shift.
The common term is “underwear.” Sometimes “underpants.”
In america pants are the equivalent of trousers.
Also, knickers are calf-length trousers, what Brits might call plus fours, I believe. Sal used knickers to refer to undergarments, but that is very unusual; she probably got it from Jason.
I have only ever heard “knickers” used in older work or stuff set in the past, and in the phrase “(don’t) get your knickers in a twist”. It isn’t really a current word, at least not in the western US. Maybe in the South?
What? Why would she like her bully? That’s just crazy talk…
What would Walky know about how Ruth manhandled Billie?
Before the confession she was pretty vocal about Ruth being a bully.
Well. That’s primarily awkward
The Nail just got hit on the Head.
Someone’s gonna get nailed, all right.
^_^ BANG!
I sad a bang bang bangity bang!
CRIKEY!

Nows the time for some steamy make up sex
In Walkerton’s bed…
I hope they wash the sheets afterwards.
Forget the bed, just used the floor
They’ll probably have to burn the bed afterwards.
That’s where Mike is off to in such a hurry. He needs to organize a new bed.
Frankly, given Walky’s predilection for eating in bed, they should wash the sheets before.
Sheesh, Get a room, you two
It looks like they’ll be getting Walky’s room for the time being.
If you don’t want to join come back in 6 hours.
Oh Walky, if only you knew the shitstorm you (probably) just caused.
Or sexy storm.
But not a sexy shitstorm. That just sounds gross.
Two Giirls One Umbrella?
Two girls and the Stanley Cup
Two girls, One athletic cup?
From the website http://canadiansexacts.org/canadian_statement.htm
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2ce-zC_n8E" title="Kinky.."
Well that didn’t work. :C
ella ella eh eh eh
How about a shitty sexstorm?
A halle storm you might say.
Walky’s pretty good at setting up awkward situations.
Danny vs Walky, AKWARD OFF!
That wouldn’t work though. Walky is good at setting up awkward situations for other people, while Danny just sets up awkward situations for himself.
Danny is selfish, in other words. Not sharing that awkwardness with anyone. >:(
*reads hovertext* Why would Walky smell any worse than he normally does?
He’s not showering before going to class. I don’t know about other folks, but I get quite ripe if I don’t have a shower every day.
It also depends on how hot the day is, when it’s hot, you can smell the rot.
I think the implication is that Walky smells regardless.
That’s because he doesn’t seem to bother even with the smell test when it comes to his clothing.
Some of us can’t smell
I assumed it was because he’s going to wear the shirt he slept in, but sure, if he hasn’t had a shower since last morning, he might smell.
Before workdays, I usually shower in the evening. Makes the morning routine shorter so I can sleep a little longer.
I thought maybe it was because he was in bed with Billie and she smells or something? I don’t know.
*canned laughter and extended Woool! noises for half a minute*
It’s kind of funny how Ruth didn’t seem phased by Walky in his undahpants. Guess maybe that’s not super uncommon in the dorms.
You’ve never lived in a coed college dorm have you?
^ This. She’s probably glad he didn’t show up with a towel ALMOST wrapped all the way around his waist. ^^;
You’ve never lived with siblings of the opposite gender have you?
Mike knows better than to stay in the blast radius.
Mike probably has “something to take care of.” In private.
Amazi-Girl must have left Clark Wing before Walky got to Ruth, meaning she must have been there when Amazi-Girl was summoned to track down the Whiteboard Bandit, but of course nobody wanted to bother the only girl there that was affected and is also mean and scary.

Well played sir. I especially approve of #5
Agreed!#5 is outstanding! And ha great real life use potential!!
Wait, he did all this without underwear on?
No, just without pants.
I have reason to believe that he sleeps naked.
No, you don’t: http://www.dumbingofage.com/2014/comic/book-4/04-the-whiteboard-dong-bandit/doinokay/
Although I get the reference to the sleeping habit of the other twin.
American!pants = British!trousers
British!pants = American!underpants/underwear
I love the look on Billie’s face. “I think you like your R.A. more than me.” I can almost hear her saying “Well, actually….”
Nails, heads, hitting, etc.
Your jumping to conclusion’s walky
His jumping to the Walky of conclusions.
With uncanny accuracy.
Oh dear, she’s trapped. Unless she takes some hints from her roommate, who may or may not be Amazi-Girl, and thinks of escaing via the window.
Safer would be for Billie to cut through the shared half bath.
Tricky to pull off successfully, though. Also, less dramatically pleasing, unless David is planning a bigger payoff later down the line.
do we know who walky/mike’s neighbors are yet?
@ the alt text
Is he going to smell much worse than usual, though?
Walky being accidentally perceptive there lol.
Does he smell good most days?
Be fair, Walky. She likes most people more than you.
I think he usually smells like Frito’s.
Good Deal. Ruth and Billie are face to face like it or not and Billie did promise Walky to ‘talk’ to Billie.
Fingers crossed.
I’d think Nachitos.
Mike didn’t wait up when Walky was probably going to tell him that Ruth and Billie were ‘talking it out’.
Mike’s totally going to walk in on Billie and Ruth either fighting or making out again.
Also, how do Gravatars even work I made an account but I still get the same comment form and even though I used my username and e-mail from Gravatar it’s still going to the default pictures.
Upload a picture to gravatar and uncheck the “use default” box.
Where is this magical use default box to uncheck, I see nothing on the DOA website or Gravatar one…
Wait, has Billie been blushing, or has she been sick this whole time or what?
That’s her “sleep-deprived and hungover” coloring.
don’t have a reference link, but it has been stated that this is what she looks like after she’s been drinking.
She’s been suffering from a bout of massive depression that just got hit with a massive adrinalin rush.
Speaking of blushing, I now notice Walky doesn’t have those rosy cheeks that most of the others have. I thought for a moment that maybe it’s because of his dark skin, but then I saw Sarah in the banner, and she has rosy cheeks AND dark skin, so it can’t be that.
If he’s rooming with Mike, that makes this room rosy-cheek free. Hell, today’s page completely is rosy-cheek free.
Just read from start to finish… now I have no comment, so.. uh.. awesome comic.
Walky, you have no idea how right you are!
Yes Walky, she does. Time for some confrontation Billie, I suggest kiss and make-up.
I know that Amber/Amazi-Girl does not appear in this strip, but I just have to say it. I would love to see a retro 16-bit video game with Amazi-Girl. How much money do you need on Kickstarter? It’s not like you could find programming friends once you got the money.

Billie is so cute!
… i hope they dont end up having sex in walkys bed
He’ll never wash the sheets if they do. Come to think of it, he prolly doesn’t anyway.
Has nobody else noticed Ruth’s sad ‘Goody’ in panel 2? Poor thing, well, as poor as Ruth can be.
I’ve read all of dumbing of age so far, but not the Walkyverse stuff. I don’t get it. What is the attraction of this character? He seems to me generally dumb and selfish and that’s it. Don’t like him at all. Is he supposed to be a “bad boy” (like a male version of his sister) or something? I checked the wikia but it didn’t really explain (there’s something about how he keeps having responsibility shoved onto him or something as he tries at every turn to dodge it… but that’s not endearing ini the least! ( and i think that’s from the Walkyverse, not here, though it would certainly apply to THIS comic))
In the other universe, Walky is a lovable doofus. He’s very different. Really the main thing they have in common is rampaging immaturity.
Hmm. Alright, thanks for the clarification. “Rampaging immaturity” definitely does come through in DoA. But the other characters (e.g. obviously Dorothy) seem to like him for some reason and so do readers in the comments section here. I assume (at least for the readers) it’s because he’s the main character (by name) in the other universe(s), but based on what he’s like here i was having trouble imagining how that could be.

Sickly hung over pallor aside, Billie looks really cute in the fourth panel.
I really hope that the next two or ten strips focuses on Billie and Ruth, and that even if there is some sort of emotional blow-up on the part of one or both of them, it isn’t at the end of the scene, culminating in one of them storming off… I want this scene to end on a hopeful note! (Oh, who am I kidding? I want it to end with another Slipshine comic… But for now, I’ll take vaguely reconciliatory hopefulness…)
As for Mike… Who wants to bet he’s off to start a life of super villainy, so that he can experience more Amazi-tackles? And thus, an arch nemesis is born!
Known as the Jerkass, complete with a Glasgow Frown: Signature line to A-G: “You complete me.”
Am I the only one who wants them to have a hero/villain dynamic, only to eventually ending up a couple?
Eh, already seen that, really.
Eh, leave their coupledom to the original ‘verse. I kind of like what’s been going on between Amber and Danny in this continuity.
But Mike as her super villain nemesis is just too good! Especially if there’s ever some strange multi-dimensional crossover. Imagine how mind blowing it would be to Amazi-girl to see that somewhere, she did reciprocate his advances?
Love Billie with the sideways Rugrats style face. Shows just how upset the situation has got her.
I see London,
I see France,
I see Walky’s,
Boxer shorts.
No … Wait a minute …
Walky, you don’t know the half of it. XD
Heh. Billie is back in yellow and blue, while Ruth is wearing black and green; I find it amusing that for this confrontation, they’re back in the same colour scheme as when they first met.
For that matter, they’re back in their Roomies! colour schemes.
Sadly, I don’t support the Ruth/Billie ship because while there’s some interesting things going on there–it’s kind of depressing. I’d like to see Ruth with someone who isn’t a bundle of issues and the same for Billie. Maybe Ruth/Carla or Ruth/Malaya (oddly enough) because R/B have SIMILAR issues and they kind of feed each other’s worst side. In RL, I’d tell them to get the hell away from each other. The codependency isn’t the kind of thing which I think works.
