If you dig, dig you pierce the heavens! Even if I’m digging my own grave, I will keep digging until I dig right back out again!! Just who the hell do you think I am!?
They did interact, in the very first day of college. Dorothy told Ruth she was thinking about breaking up with Danny and Ruth volunteered to do it herself.
Cold hover text, very cold. Or very sad. Maybe both.
Ruth doesn’t interact with anybody (except Billie recently) in DOA, so I’d guess it is pretty intentional Mr. Random.
Trying to remember if she didn’t make disparaging remarks at Danny at one time or another, but too dang tired to look it up tonight.
Now that you sorta bring it up though, it would be kinda nice to see some dysfunctional Ruth Danny friendship in DoA. I mean I think it would be nice, I may be the minority on that one.
Loading ...
Ruth will be there soon, right guys? Right?
She’s in the other room, just fine. Right?
…right?
Well .. in certain sense, given the end of IW! ?
Ruth will be with you, always.
She’s in our hearts and memories now.
Ruth was IN YOUR HEART ALL ALONG.
I’m just going to leave this here:

We took Ruth to a farm where she can run and frolic with the other drunken grad students all day long.
Dammit, beaten to the punch.
He just had a dream of Dumbing of Age.
“And you were there! And you, and you!”
Doctor, stop using time travel to steal my jokes.
Never!
…Tomorrow’s material is a little weak, though. I’d see about tightening up the punchline.
Wibbely wobbely, punchey-liney.
Bob was there too.
I know you said Ruth was created so she could be killed off; but wasn’t it difficult to do it anyway?
Yes, always.
I think the more important question is where are Billie’s bangs in the last panel.
Disappearing so that she doesn’t look angry.
Well, of course. I mean, it’s not like she has any reason to be angry.
They went over to Dumbing of Age to be with Ruth.
What happened to that truck driver?
She is dead. She is gone. But on your back and in your heart, she lives on!
You are safe in my heart
and my heart will go on and on.
If you dig, dig you pierce the heavens! Even if I’m digging my own grave, I will keep digging until I dig right back out again!! Just who the hell do you think I am!?
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think Danny and Ruth have ever interacted in DoA. Was that intentional?
I like the thought that if they ever meet, she’ll kill him back.
XD
The best revenge is getting rebooted so you can kill your murderer.
“Danny? Who’s Danny? …He looks like a dweeb.”
-goes and kicks his ass back to the boys side of the building-

My bad, they didn’t actyally talk. Ruth just talks about Danny in front of him. http://www.dumbingofage.com/2010/comic/book-1/01-move-in-day/answer/
I still hope that at some point Danny’ll help her out somehow, so that in some sense he’ll have payed her back…

The hover text is just the title of the strip. Willis isn’t doing that much work for very old strips.
I believe the point is that he’s done a ton of work for the old strips, but it was many years ago.
“She’s over in Dumbing of Age not giving one shit about you.”
So she’s happier than us?
She moved to a farm upstate, where there’s plenty of sunshine and grass she can run on, and lots of doofuses to punch in the face.
Are there other Ruths there for her to play with? Ó.Ò
yes and they all turned it in thunderdome… farmdome? I… I don’t think that has quite the same ring. : /
Can’t we just get beyond Thunderdome?
oh god I wish I could art
I would art so hard at a beyond thunderdome all-ruth art, it would be so art
“You’re all here Billie, Joe, Joyce…Joyce’s Roomate? I want to say…leslie?”
“Leslie… Bean? Wait, wrong comic.”

If by “dysfunctional friendship” you mean “Ruth hits Danny with a truck”, I could get behind it.
Or we can really mix it up and have Ruth hit a truck with Danny. How many whacks do you think it’d take ’til he’s a smear on the hood?
Sal: Weĺl, her head’s there, her guts are there, her heart is there her arms are there…
Billie: Sal! Too soon.
Isn’t Sal way the hell off somewhere now?
Best Director Comment’s ever!

Well, if this was the Manga reboot, Ruth would wake up in some weird D and D style fantasyland, and have a Harem…. And I’d be all over it.
