This is a sudden visit, Walky

Characters: David Walkerton, Jennifer Billingsworth
Location: Indiana University, Ruth's high school
Because of how these stories are ordered, the tagged location for that last panel is “Ruth’s high school.” In addition to Billie and Walky attending it when they came of age, somewhere in that school during that flashback are also Beef and Howard and Dorothy. I suppose I could rename it now as “some Evansville high school” to be more inclusive, but eh. It’s the Ruth-Anne Lesse Memorial High School now. Even though she’s not dead yet. I mean, she is, but not during the flashback. Unless they reeeeeeeeeeally missed her when she left for college.
Sure, they all missed the grumpy redhead who could spare only contempt for her fellow human beings. Yep.
She didn’t have only contempt! She also had punches. And sometimes kicks. And occasionally uninvited smoochytimes.
For varrying definitions of “talking”
I mean, it meets the basic definition of a conversation!
I love how it is the Ruth-Anne Less high school that is now Ruth-Anne-less. 😉
Especially since her name is in fact Ruth-Anne Lesse.
It is truly the name pun that keeps on giving.
Willis fixed the typo in the commentary, so now it just looks like I’m nitpicking your spelling rather than commenting on the irony.
So does the “Anne” part of Ruth’s name apply to the Dumbiverse as well?
At least Ruth got some form of memorial, I guess.
