Hey, little guy.
on June 26, 2020 at 12:01 amYEAH you read this one a few days ago, but I realized ENTIRELY too late that the narrative jump between last strip and tomorrow’s is just gonna be HELLA confusing, and so I moved this one in between them, for a little slate-cleaning. You’ll see what I mean. SORRY.
The punchline would be clearer, I think, if it read “who your mom has not slept with,” and I briefly thought about editing it now, but that would’ve been an awful lot of extra work for a strip that really only exists to say “lol billie’s mom got around.”
Loading ...
Is anyone else super confused about where Billies stomach is in relation to her boob? It kinda looks like the side of her torso is pregnant.
Not until you mentioned it.
I didn’t notice it until you pointed it out, but now I can’t unsee it.
Billie’s mom?
For a nickel.
Has got it goin’ on…for a nickel. Each. Line forms to the left.
Without specifying her mother I took it as meaning both her parents had affairs all over the neighborhood, so there’s that.
Same!
Huh. I took it to mean Billie Herself had tapped every ass that could be found. Except, presumably, Walky.
Because that would have been weird.
C’mon, Billie, there were… the Walkertons.
Oh no Linda Walkerton was one of the better adults in their neighbourhood, no wonder this timeline is cursed.
… I don’t think that’s true. Pretty sure Linda Walkerton was still one of the worst adults in the neighborhood.
These other adults, at worst, cheated on one another a bit.
Linda Walkerton has things like “genocide” and “willfully tortured children” on her rap sheet.
Did I say “one of”? Typo. Should have just been “still the worst”
Sorry for any confusion.
Look, just because she was a terrible human being and a horrible mother doesn’t mean that she was a bad neighbor.
Must’ve been one hell of a weird thing for the neighbors to realize, depending on how much Linda’s identity as head of SEMME was publicized. I mean, let’s start with ‘little David and Steve Walkerton are superheroes.’ And then ‘that sister who showed up out of nowhere a few years ago is also superpowered, but also tried to end the world, so.’ All of that BEFORE ‘Linda from the PTA is an ex-super soldier who fights aliens, who is now in charge of an army of them, and also she committed SEVERAL major war crimes!’
“She always seemed so nice and quiet!”
I think it tracts.
She was talking about her childhood and then referencing what her actions will be in relation to the kid.
“Love thy neighbor” indeed.
But Brain, it’s impossible for me to love myself that way.
“Also, with luck, your crush won’t be obsessed with a superpowered anti-hero.”
That definitely read as Billie got around as a teen to me unfortunately.
That’s because she DID. She was very frisky in college. Don’t know about High School.
Yeah, that’s the impression I got. But now she’s in a different neighborhood, so it’s all good!
Guess something with the program that uploads the strips. Which seems to have also removed the strip from yesterday
*went wrong
Check Willis’s note – they changed around the order of the strips.
Yeah, I noticed it now.

-Open the image in any image editor/art program.
-Paint a solid white rectangle over the poorly-worded line.
-Place Text tool: Type the new line, in Comic Sans MS font
-Adjust the placement and text size with the box adjustment handles until it matches up with the rest of the word balloon.
-resave file.
Unless you imagine your artistic integrity suffers if you don’t remake and hand-letter each comic from scratch on parchment with a crow-quill pen, whilst a choir of Germanic monks sing Latin in the background, there’s no reason a minor dialogue change like this should be “a lot of work”.
