I wonder if she has kept sober while Ruth has fallen off the wagon.

...wut?

Yeah, I'm back, and I am extremely confused. Why in gods name would Billie go towards Asher of all people? What is with the lipstick? Why does everyone treat it like they lost Billie when she's apparently still on campus and attending classes? Is it really just the breakup that apparently has drove Ruth to start drinking again?

Dear god I'm getting flashbacks to the Relationship Upgrade between M'gann and Conner being undone during the Five-Year Timeskip and M'gann was suddenly with La'gaan and acting like a total sociopath with a penchant for Mind Rape!

I think I'm gonna return to hiatus for a bit, and if they finally reveal why this happened that will be what cements whether I still read this series. And if it looks like Billie is subjected to Character Derailment before that happens, screw it, I'll drop the series outright.

I would imagine confusion is the Intended Audience Reaction to this development. Personally, I’d wait for some actual answers before throwing up your hands like this.

Though frankly, I’m not sure why you haven’t dropped the comic already.

Oh God! Natural light!

I would like to change my answer to the new poll.

Also the RSS feed seems to be working so I'm dropping this thread.

You're pro "babe"? Eh, I find it kind of a cringey term, especially on Billie.

My brother and sister-in-law use it between themselves that it didn't really register to me.

I'll confess that I call my girlfriend "babe", but that's because society is cruel.

Okay this isn't what I was expecting, Billie actually seems MORE self concious of her prior Alpha Bitch status, not less.

So what we've got here is, Jennifer realized what some folks in this thread have been saying for a long while (her and Ruth are a bad idea together), so she's stuck with therapy and cut ties.

So Asher is a step up.

So Ruth is.........not in as good a place.

I can almost imagine Willis walking down the comment section quoting Gladiator: "ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?! ISNT THIS WHAT YOU WANT?"

Honestly, good on Jennifer for getting out of that one.

Not sure how well Fuckdamn Cumshitter's taking this development.

This place is careless.

Okay, of all developments, this was not one I had been expecting.

Didn't Walky object to that name early on?

My posts make considerably more sense read in the voice of John Ratzenberger.
