Anybody home?
on March 22, 2014 at 12:01 amALTERNATIVE INTERPRETATION: Mrs. Billingsworth just has a boxer-briefs juggling act, and Billie’s desperate to avoid a career in vaudeville.
I’ll have to make a mental note that Billie calls her parents Ma and Pa, should that ever become relevant.

I’m a full grown adult and I still say ma and pa. It isn’t that weird to say. Much weirder to read though.
Ma and pa are weird at any age!
Regional terms are crazy things.
Are you Superman? Only Superman calls his parents Ma and Pa.
Why is she smelling her fingers after touching that stuff?
*sings* “Hey, Ma and Pa, what the hell is wrong with ya…”
… For once my earworm is actually, not inappropriate to the situation that created it.
Oh good, so it wasn’t just me.
Meanwhile, Sal is having a Party at Ground Zero…
What is Billie saying in the last panel?
Ma is entertaining guests from Over-Starchers Anonymous meeting, by the look of those stiff boxers. Guess what else was stiff? Hey-o!
Poor little thing.
Willis and green underpants! Green’s just about the least attractive colour for those.
[faded poop brown is a contender]
I’d say piss yellow is even worse.
Well, good to know if her parents ever actually decide to show up in Dumbing of Age.
Though that might actually improve their standing in the Bad Parent Ranking Poll, since their primary form of bad parenting is the absence part.
The really sad part is that they’re still among the better DoA parents.
