The ad networks of several webcomics were compromised by some jerk this morning. Though there was never any actual malware, a script was uploaded that flagged the site itself as malware to Google and Firefox and what have you. And so when you get the warning, you can click “Advanced” and go on through the site as normal, if you want. If you don’t want (and if so, how are you here?????????) I’ll be posting my comics to my Tumblr until the warning expires.
This is dumb and I’m sorry.

wow a few days ago i wasn’t far off
except i was expecting billie to follow her into the shower for other reasons but this is good
I think I like your version better. >_>
Me too. This conversation would have been much better with both naked in the shower :p
I argue it would be better if they were both clothed in the shower just…talking casually as they ruin their clothes.
The fabric adhering to them, underligning the evocative curves of their young bodies. As the water floods, their clothes start getting transparent. Ruth slowly passes her hand accross Billie’s hair and removes her hair band. When touched, Billie first shivers but she then closes her eyes and starts leaning toward Ruth …
Go on. >_>
You’ve ruined my comedy with your porn…
Now I understand how every cartoon ever feels.
Rule 34. Dealwithit.jpeg
As Billie starts leaning toward Ruth’s breast, she suddenly loses her balance and slips on floor. Trying to hold on to something she grabs the faucet and floods them both under cold water. They rush out of the booth with their drenched clothes and run into Joyce. Joyce is heart-broken by Billie’s treason, she whispers “But … I thought I was your shower buddy !?”
Hilarity ensues ?
Youfool what have you done. never let anyone censor rule 34. that is a greater power than the power of life and death
it’s not like this isnt one of those pages that launches a thousand ships…at all…
good trope for just about any of willis’ pages
…is there ANY page of a Willis comic that doesn’t launch a thousand ships?
When there’s only one character?
Then they just get stuck playing with their dinghy.
Ironically, only his comic about Helen of Troy, so he cut it from the series.
“except i was expecting billie to follow her into the shower for other reasons but this is good”
Considering I had already written this storyline off as being more or less over and suddenly Monday gives us Ruth in a towel, I frankly think sky’s the limit here! The week is young, let’s just see what happens.
I’d quit cold turkey–that stuff’s bleh even when hot =p
You have clearly never had a proper turkey.
You mean they’ve been selling fake turkeys?
The notorious “Tofurky”.
You get one of these: http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view1/1900989/statler-waldorf-o.gif
Reminds me of a John Pinette joke. 🙂
FRECKLES… YESSSSSSSS….
Dotty has some competition now.
They are both cute and wear glasses. Dorothy is nerdier, but Ruth is tougher and has red hair.
I don’t know which to choose!
Always go with the redhead.
choose both and start your virtual harem today!
Billie is the hottest.
Dudes, Dorothy has shoulder freckles, but Ruth has ALL-OVER freckles.
Ruth wins. Hands down.
But Dorothy can quote whole episodes of “Dexter and Monkey Master” !
My thoughts exactly.
Billie, I am pretty sure that AA buddies are not supposed to stop you drinking by taking their booze and drink it yourself.
But… it works for one of them!
But the objective of AA buddies is for all of them to stop drinking , not just one of them. Thus Billie’s technique of swipping and drinking her buddie’s booze doesn’t work.
Unless they both do it in turns, then I guess it would work.
For a certain definition of “work”.
Great advice from willis, I bet he knows from experience!
I just really, really like how you captured Ruth’s wet hair.
The same hair that will clog up the drainhole and freak out Joyce again.
Yes, but everything freaks Joyce out. >_>
All according to Ruth’s plan.
Ever thought about AA?
I hear their chips make good coasters.
What about Quitters Inc.?
They all gave up before the thing really got started.
Amazi-Girl Anonymous?
But then Ruth would have to reveal her secret identity!
Hm, They don’t really seem the types for the god bits of that.
Billie might be fine with it, but Ruth might have a problem with about half of the Twelve Steps being about Jesus.
I fail to see how a guy whose first miracle was to keep the party going would be any sort of choice to be a part of an alcohol-quitting program.
I hope you don’t mind, but I so had to share that on FB. I never even thought about it!
I often use this argument against my friends who try to use Christianity as an excuse to not drink.
Hey! Your God made, distributed, and, in all likelihood, drank alcohol.
He turned his own blood into wine.
Is there an Atheist Alcoholics Anonymous?
There is but for some reason they keep getting calls from people looking for the American Automotive Association.
I wonder why that could possibly be.
I hear Dr. House is a member.
There was but Triple A sued them.
There are alternative organizations, but the Christianity-based AA is the one judges force people to attend or face jail time. Separation of church and state? Not in MY ‘MURKA!
B-but David, the steps only refer to a “Higher Power”! It’s not just Jesus! Honest! Ask any AA proselytizer! It’s not like they say the Lord’s Prayer at every meeting and blatantly shame you into converting at your weakest momen–oh…wait…
If memory serves, Rational Recovery (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_Recovery) has a success rate comparable to AA. Which is to say, piss-poor.
Ruth’s on to her!
And some folks wants Ruth to be on top of her.
I am one of those people. 😀
So two Ruth/Billie and one Billie/Ruth so far.
Actually, I don’t particularly care who’s on top as long as it happens.
Fair enough! ^_^
Freckles everywhere.
So… they’re sort of married now, huh?
Nah, they’d have to go to sort of Iowa for that.
Dem freckles.
Dem freckle comments.
Dem comments about freckle comments.
Dem commenters commenting on commenters comments. >_>
Comenters’ *
Dem commenters commenting on dem commenters commenting on commenters comment
Dem redundant statements
Dem crazy interwebs people.
Dem “sane” interwebs people
“Dem crazy interwebs people.”
Is there any other kind?
Exactly.
Connect dem dots.
They say “Fuck YOU”.
Also I beg Willis to make this Canon.
…Connect dem dots. Ah la la. Connect dem dots. Ah la la…
OH MY GOD YES.
Wow, that’s a hell of a nostalgia wave right there. Thanks, Pee-Wee’s Playhouse.
But there’s only one Dot?
Fun fact: I’ve lost 40 pounds since November (210 to 170).
Funner fact: Step 1 was eating everything remotely unhealthy in my apartment, including 4 pints of Ben & Jerry’s, 2 full size bags of Doritos, and half a birthday cake.
I couldn’t look at junk food for nearly a week, which got me off to a great start.
That’s one way to do it, I guess. I still can’t drink Skittles vodka after I drank too much the night of my birthday and spent the whole night puking. -__-
You lost 40 pounds? How much is that in Australian dollars? 😛
At 41-50 per pound, I’d say it’s about 1640-2000 shrimp on the barbie.
That’s a lot of seafood.
In other words, you burnt yourself out on junk food, which is quite effective for quitting something. =P
Or maybe all of that junk food killed you and now you’re decaying?
A distinct possibility.
Going with the “take username literally” thing, I’ll just say I gave myself a heart attack and regenerated into someone thinner.
are you now obsessed with bow ties and fezzes
uh-oh! I’d strongly liked to know how that works! 😉
Wow, Ruth looks really good with wet hair.
Every girl looks hotter with wet hair. It’s basically a scientific fact.
No, I think that’s something else you’re thinking of. >_>
In my opinion it’s hotter when there’s no hair where it’s wet … }:->
So… bald girls showering? 😉
Whatever lifts your luggage!
Dah’ling, it’s hotter down where it’s wetter, no hair under sheets?
Also, this is a fantastic plan and I fail to see how it can possibly go wrong.

Doing chants to ask the God of Falling for fanservice, are we?
I’m sorry, I’ve been waiting forever to reference this. Literally, forever. I have dreams of making a demotivational poster with the caption “All the ‘ladies men’ in the house, bow before your god.”
I don’t think you quite literally mean “forever,” seeing as human life expectancy is somewhere between 47 and 86 years of age (depending on your location).
The need to post that comment has preserved his life-force since the beginning of time.
He can now finally pass away in peace.
No no, I still have to find Funimation dubbed Fairy Tail.
Then I can leave.
JEEZ, Why’s there so many comments on this alre-
Oh…that’s why.
On what?
…the comic.
“Create some fanservice and they will come”.
Pfft, if you want me to come we need to get some dudes up in here.
Good looking dudes, not like Jason or Jacob.
I guess my opinion on what qualifies as a good lookin’ dude is flawed. I’m a failure at dude rating…
Wait, what are the other options? Joe in his underwear? Ethan pin-up? Walky in a vat of caramel with only his head and legs sticking out?
Joe and Walky aren’t bad. Ethan does nothing for me though. But yeah, the options are fairly limited. Lots of pretty ladies, not so much with the dudes.
Come, huh? I’m sorry, my mind has been way too long in the gutter.
Is it me or are they focusing on the booze because-while important-it’s easier to talk about that vs the elephant in the roo? i.e. What exactally does Ruth feel for Billie and what Billie has been thinking since the kiss?
I’ve been dying to know just that. I hope they talk about it soon!
There’s an Elephant in a Roo? Someone Alert Plas! This is clearly an Australian emergency!!!
Wasn’t that a Very Special Episode of Winnie the Pooh about child molestation?
No wait, that was “Help, There’s a Heffalump in the Roo!”
…I’m going to hell for sure.
“I’d rather laugh with the sinner than cry with the saints…”
“The sinners are much more fun…”
Which explains why I’ll be living forever with the rest of you 😉
o/’ ‘Cause only the good die young… o/’
Hmm. Maybe being a bongo is this-universe Ruth’s life insurance policy. She would, now that I think about it, have survived in the other universe if she’d been a little less nice and self-sacrificing.
I thought you were going to take this in a Winnie the Pooh direction of reference… then I thought about how gross that would actually be…
An elephant in a Roo? Was it a hephalump, or a woozle?
Woozles are rodents. >_>
When I was seventeen/I had a fake ID…
You kids and your fake IDs…Can’t you just wait to vote like the rest of us!?
(Internet points for anyone who can guess what movie I just saw)
Is it the The Breakfast Club?
“Why do you have a fake ID?”
“So I can vote.”
Yep. 50 Points for GUNDERSTANK.
What, no love for Weaselthorp?
I HATE WEASELTHORP!!!
“This one time, at band camp…”
Have you ever been to a Turkish prison?
“When I was 17
I had a very good beer
I had a very good beer I purchased
With a fake ID
My name was Bryan McGee
I stayed up listening to Queen
When I was 17.”
“She was just 17,
You know what I mean…”
Steely Dan and Billy Joel? I like your taste in music!
… That’s the Beatles….
Is Billie always bent over like that when she stands? She might need to see a chiropractor.
Also YES. VERY YES. Quit booze together, and soon you’ll do other things together.
She’s, probably subconsciously, putting her face lower and closer to Ruth, to make herself appear smaller and more vulnerable and increase intimacy, so she can look up at Ruth with that earnest, appealing look in panel 1. It’s good body language; it just looks kind of funny from the side, from a distance.
(I’m valiantly resisting segueing into other ways Billie could get more intimate while she’s down there.)
Personally I think she’s just going for the motorboat.
Ye gods, the shipping readings are off the scale!
Spock tried to anaylize the shipping readings with his tricorder months ago.
He’s still waiting for the replacement from Starfleet HQ.
Going to need to make a new shipping scale for this one. Or get a bigger twinkie…
So it hasn’t even been one day yet, right? Otherwise it would be a new storyline?
What do you mean?
I mean I expect the next line from Ruth to be “What the hell. It hasn’t even been 15 minutes. I literally just went to take a shower after the fire alarm thing was over.”
It’s probably the same day.
If the first step to quitting alcohol is to drink all your booze, then I should tell all my friends who drink that, if any of them develop a problem, I will happily take their alcohol off their hands so they can quit cold turkey.
Unless it’s Bud Light. They can go ahead and toss that shit.
It’s weird thinking that I drinkers ham two alcoholic comic characters. But don’t think of myself as a alcoholic.
Have you been drinking today? >_>
Haha, oh iPhone.
Gotcha. I got an auto-corrected text from my little sis the other day saying that her boyfriend “monograms” (supposed to be “Jonathan”) was going to visit Perú.
Good you bought that.
While I know she is not a nice person my own predisposition toward redheads makes her very attractive.
Her freckles… I would like to play connect the dots with my tongue.
Damn it. Due to my predilection for sleep, you beat me to what I was going to say…
I too want to connect her freckles with my tongue.
So… shower glasses?
You might not need the glasses to shower, but there are plenty of people who couldn’t find their way back to their rooms without their glasses on.
A bunch of my hall mates are like that.
Oh, I’m horribly blind without mine; I just never used them in the shower when I was in school. I admittedly had it a bit easier given my dorms were in the suite layout rather than the hall layout, so I guess it never occurred to me that some people with more than a few doors to choose from would have trouble without them.
I just assumed Ruth didn’t need them that badly given her conversation with Billie last week wasn’t all squinty. I forgot that Billie directly put her glasses in her hands and told her to put them on before showering, so the glasses here are actually continuity. Yay continuity!
Or to the shower in the first place.
I know that mentality. “If I eat all of this now, I won’t be tempted by it anymore!”.
It’s how I got through the first season of Naruto, and all of Inuyasha.
God damn anime.
Now Billie you must help Ruth out of that towel as well.
This is the part where I hope they both just abuse alcohol rather than are physically dependant on it. Because much as its nice to have the occasional darkness, alcohol is a very dangerous drug to go cold turkey on.
“Hey, Ruth! Hey! Hey, Ruth! Maybe we should quit drinking alcohol!”
“You drank it all, didn’t you?”
“Nyoro~n…”
Either Billie has terrible posture or there is some serious body language going on there.
I don’t really understand why Billie might want to “quit booze”. I don’t recall alcohol causing too much trouble for her before. Kind of applies to Ruth too, we haven’t seen alcohol affecting her work or everyday life negatively apart from one occasion when she got upset by a phonecall.
She got a DUI and was subsequently kicked out of cheerleading.
Oh yeah, well except that.
But that only happened once.
Wait, really? You think the booze hasn’t affected her life? The reason we haven’t seen it affect her life is because we haven’t seen her at all, because she’s been sloppy drunk in her room for days, neglecting all her duties.
Well everyone has some harder periods in their life, though if this is her reaction to every single conflict in her life then it is a problem. Also I had no idea she was gone for days. I have problems with understanding the passing of time in webcomics, that’s my fault, sorry for that.
Also, I’m sad that this strip doesn’t end like this recent (in some sense) Roomies! strip (no pun intended) did.
Hey Willis, I think there’s a malicious ad in The Hive Works. Firefox keeps telling me that there’s “badware” when I go to your sites, as well as other webcomics that have THW banner ads. I’ve sent them an email, but you should probably try to contact them as well.
Same here. Bit worried. <:B
I am having the same issue. Had to get through a warning page saying this was an “attack” site. Had the same issue over at QC. Hopefully this is resolved quickly.
Yeah, I had that both here and at Shortpacked. Also on Girls With Slingshots, so it’s not just Willis’s sites. Sorry for posting about it on the Roomies strip, but I wasn’t sure if these were safe and it was the only other way I knew to get the message to you. Glad to see it’s all back and working again.
Please oh please let them kiss in tomorrow’s comic.
Ha! Its funny because alcohol addiction!
Or, as “Fausto” Leguizamo would say, “I’m not a quitter!”
This is why I like reading Mr. Willis’s comics. The coloring is so pretty. Especially second panel Ruth.
