Characters: Danny Wilcox, Jennifer Billingsworth
Location: Danny and Joe's dorm room
Man, my refusal to swear or write swears at that age really pulled the rug out from under Billie’s dialog, didn’t it.
So this is the way to cure Billie of her alcohol problems, just kill Ruth.
$@ indeed, Billie. $@ indeed.
Does that mean Billie is aware that she can’t actually swear even when she wants to? How did she not leap off the page and kill you back then?
He put in a stronger fourth wall so they couldn’t break it ever again.
He seems to have an inkling. Which is weird, since it’s Danny.
Some things never change I guess…
Billie, your inability to swear makes you adorable.
That last panel is just beautiful cartooning.
Right?? I love Willis’ style from around this time.
Oh my god I’m the head alien.
Fuck yeah.
Some couples make the beast with two backs, but Billie and Danny form the rare beast with two faces.
Two Faces?
Does this mean they’re gonna become a Batman villain now?
Do they have a special coin to make all important decisions with?
Yes thay have :
Face, Billie decides.
Tails, Danny obeys.
Yeah, I agree, I love that last panel.
Swearing or no, Billie comes thru loud and clear.
It appears that Danny can comprehend, just get his attention: face to face, so to speak.
Someone should introduce her to Mike.
They can go drinking together!
“Care about MY Feelings” god dammit, I knew she was awful but…
Not going to reply to anyone a year late, but. While I had the thought that hshe was being selfish with “My feelings” ….Even though it’s probably a retcon, she and Ruth *were* together.
Sure, nobody else knows it – but the fact is, she’s been sitting alone in her grief and probably nobody’s even asked how she’s feeling about this girl she’s known all her life and who she was sort of dating….
It’s selfish. But. Not unreasonable.
Besides, grief is a pretty selfish emotion to begin with. NOT IN A BAD WAY. But. Generally speaking. People either believe their friends are in heaven, living it up in paradise, or gone for good with no way to care about what’s going on at all. We don’t generally feel like they’re *suffering* in death. So. When we grieve. We generally grieve for our own sakes, for what *we’ve* lost.
