Hooray! Tonight we get more of Carla pissing everyone off instead of just fucking going outside. Just what everyone wanted.
Oh, and here's the 'reveal' of Ruth's 'new' design I guess. Such a drastic change for the character's first design change in 20 years...

Oh wait.. skating in the hall is WRONG now?
And in case there was any doubt, Willis is a cheeky cunt who knows exactly what he's doing.
He just honestly believes what he's doing is good writing.
I hate Carla so fucking much. Actually, I hate just about all the characters.
It's been one week since Amber killed a man.
That's really all I can say.
Willis is a turd.
These strips with movement feel so claustrophobic.
Oh look, another strip with a blatant copy/paste with panels 3 and 4. And no, making her mouth a little bit bigger doesn't count as not doing that.
How massive are the dorms if Carla can skate backwards for the amount of time that would have to pass between panels three and five?
Dorothy remembers. It's all she sees when she closes her eyes. She hasn't been sleeping or going to class. She just sits in her room wrapped in a blanket and muttering.
Narrow panels do not work well when you're trying to emphasis large movements and the way Willis uses speed lines does not help.
>blatant copy/paste with panels 3 and 4
Are you blind? They clearly aren't
So, where's Ryan?
wow i didn't know Ruth and Billie were such transphobes
I wonder if Mary is still in the hallway to see this? It is impossible to tell due to the way Willis depicts this area only from the side.
dead
After discovering their mutual love of hurting people and melodramatic speech patterns, Ryan and Amber ran away together. They're expecting their first child sometime in 2057.
Hell.
>panel 1: carla looking down the hall, does not see ruth
>panel 5: ruth materializes in the hallway
Or came out of a door maybe.
Steam tunnel under the campus where Amber dumped his body.
A group of urban explorers have to team up with the psychologically scarred survivor of a D&D group as they try to escape the IU steam tunnels while being stalked by a psychotically murderous vigilante.
A Dumbing of Age Pornographique.
MAZES AND AMAZI-GIRL?
Wow. Someone does there job for once and stops Carla from being a piece of shit. This won't last.
AG: Maze me this, Ryan!
D: Amber, he's fucking dead, stop asking him to "maze you." Also that's not a fucking thing! Next time you're moving the corpse by yourself...
BEWARE THE SACRILEGE
Will Ruth be able to stand up to Carla accusing her of prejudice against trans people in the next strip?
Actually, you cannot really say that. You don't know that happened. No one knows exactly. And I imagine Willis will keep it that way.
I imagine so.
Reminder that every single one of you are genuinely invested in this fictional world no matter how much you complain about it.
I'm not. I come to these threads to laugh at the retards who still read this shit as much as the actual strip themselves
Yeah, now they're gonna spitroast Carla!
so she was close enough to conveniently step out but not close enough to hear the skating herself? or does she only bother to do her job when her girlfriend is inconvenienced?
Ruth can't hear someone quickly skating in the hallway. Her ally sense was tingling.
I remember accidentally clicking on a Willis thread a couple years ago and the comic had some obnoxious bitch skating in the hallway. Are they on some kind of hyper Namek?
Give up hope all ye who continue to read this comic.
Yes. Alternate timelines, etc.
[Spoiler]No, she just didn't actually get in trouble, because Willis said it was fine for her to harass people and trap them in their rooms as long as they're Big Bad Christians.
Carla didn't get in trouble, and she's apparently gone right back to skating for like a week now, but somehow, no one noticed?
I don't know. Willis characters only exist when they're visible.[/spoiler]
Wait, so after all the bullshit with Carla skating in the halls and Ruth and Mary and the misgendering Carla's back to doing it again?
What hateful person. I hope it falls down a flight of stairs
Is anyone here brave enough to ask in the comments tomorrow what happened to the arguments that her skating didn't really bother anyone so Mary was obviously hateful from go rather than just using a convenient weapon against someone who was stopping her from studying?
That'd probably get deleted from the site comments, you'd have to do that on Patreon since he can't delete comments there.
While we're nitpicking here, it's $CURRENT_YEAR and affordable disposable contacts have been a thing for over a decade. The conditions which preclude getting contacts are comparatively rare that all 3 characters in this strip would have them.
This is your cue to run to Google and Wikipedia to disprove me.
Don't put thoughts in my head, Sup Forums
Glasses versus contacts is primarily a style choice combined with a little bit of laziness. Even then, most people who wear contacts still keep a pair of glasses.
> Terrified, Mary nestles her head in Carla's armpit while Carla gently strokes her hair until their tears subside
> Carla smells like her dad and Mary's thoughts become confused
> Carla realizes she's never seen how big Mary's nipples are before and before she can control it she has a swelling of her own that Mary instinctively reaches because Daddy made sure Mary is a Good Girl
>For the next week, Carla wasn't seen skating and Mary was pleasant to everyone she met. No one was able to quite understand Mary's swelling belly and only out of earshot was she called "The Holy Virgin" after an unfortunate incident where Carla stomped someone foolish enough to say it aloud. Shunned by her parents, Mary's only companion at the birth was her newfound friend who looked so proud.
>implying theirs isn't a relationship built upon aggression, almost oppressive sexual tension, and an abiding affection that neither of them will recognize
necrobumper
Amber and Rapey Raperson hooking up to become Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis would be a far better development than anything Willis will follow it up with.
I really don't like the idea of having to stick my finger in my eye every day.
But Billie is concerned with her appearance and thus has no reason to choose glasses over contacts.
Yeah, in canon she wouldn't want to look like a huge nerd! Although maybe she experienced too many self-inflicted drunken eye pokes to keep doing contacts.
(The real reason is that Willis has a glasses fetish that he used Billie to explore in either Roomies or It's Walky. Instead of reexamining why this new Billie would wear them he just took it at face value that she'd have them on. Because he's a hack nostalgic for his own work.)
Is Carla literally talking out of her ass in the last panel?
So, what's confirmed to have happened in the three-day time-skip?
>Danny decided to play the ukulele
>Carla won't stop skating in the hallways
>Mary decided to be nice to Carla despite her previous protestations
>Becky crashed at Leslie's place due to her fears of Chloe discovering her squatting
Is that it?
Joe somehow didn't notice the ukulele stuff, so he was probably out of the room a lot.
Love these comments from Willis regarding Ruth's grandfather:
>Sometimes when you have a character in your head, and you think of what they’d look like, you realize, hrm, I’m pretty sure I’ve already drawn this person. This is how Buckets of Blood guy ended up in Amber’s computer class. Likewise, I guess I only have so many tough-looking septuagenarians in me, because Ruth’s grandfather, aka “Sir,” is apparently Clint from this really, really old early Shortpacked! strip:
>I was worried that’d be kind of weird, and thought about trying to force him to look differently somehow, but then I decided, wtf, let’s just lean into it. He can be that guy, retroactively, why the hell not.
>that’s right i guess ruth’s grandfather visited a san francisco toy store in like 2005 in the walkyverse, whatever
>I traded in Amber’s corn popper weapon for a cane, and that was essentially that.

How groundbreaking.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, what happened to 2007 Willis, whose characters (while still cartoony) actually had decent looking proportions and poses? Third from left is by far the best looking of all of those. Colored line art is shit. SHIT
Considering that a lot of the interactions regarding those choices are playing out like it's the first time, not a lot of that stuff actually happened during the skip.
For example, with Ruth more concerned about doing her job now, Carla couldn't have been skating those 3 days.
...
>Mary likes how strong and tall Carla is
I do too
Also, welcome back edit user, good stuff like usual.
Wacom. He stopped drawing with actual pencils.
Tablets take a while to get used to but that's really no excuse for fucking up the fundamentals.
Some dorm hallways can be pretty dang long.
Eight to ten rooms each side can add up to some space.
>Now imagining drunk jocks missing her mouth and sticking their dicks in her eyes.
I need more of these.
I wonder if the author has responded to being told it's suddenly now wrong to skate in the halls because mary wasn't the one telling her not to.
Haven't seen anything from Willis yet, but here are some relevant comments.
I think it's important to note that they are finding any excuse to bash Mary and that the subject is being deflected.
I agree that skating in the halls is obnoxious. Wagers on whether Ruth talking to Carla will actually work?
And why did it take so long for her to say something? She's been skating in the halls for days.
The way Willis draws noses is horrible.
Forgot the image.
>Mary is a bigot, so you can't listen to anything she says.
When I lived in the dorms, the walls were really thin. If anyone was skating in the halls, I would have been really annoyed.
My RAs were always really chill and wouldn't invoke rules or anything if they didn't have to. Too much paperwork to write someone up.
It was wrong before. If Mary had just reported it instead of engaging Carla herself then Ruth would have stopped Carla instead of getting mad at Mary for being transphobic.
>deleted
for what purpose?
The fuck?
Mods don't like comments from the other site being posted.
This is doing things to me
Well isn't that unfortunate for them.
I think it's not so much the comments and more the names being attached to the comments.
If you copy/paste the comments alone, or perhaps censor out the names, then it should pass without trouble.
I'd say it's just laziness but honestly, a lazily drawn triangle nose would look better than Willis' strange Rescuers mice noses.
Nothing good comes from poking the mods, m8.
Comments posted raw like that just leads to off-topic discussion of the commenters instead of the comic.
Just either greentext the comments you want to make a point about. It's not that hard.
Because that isn't discussing the comic itself, rather people on other websites' reactions to the comic.
Honestly I wish the mods would enforce this better across Sup Forums, I fucking hate fandom drama and twitter/clickbait article reaction threads.
I think it's important to note that there are a lot of arguments happening in the comments, where people are almost arguing in favor of Mary. It's getting pretty divisive, so I expect comments from Willis about this relatively soon. Especially once the latest one is posted.
Posting the comments so that we can see what they're saying, for perspective.
It's interesting that literally no one thinks that maybe Mary isn't always a horrible person. I hope this upcoming arc allows more development for her character.

HA
I notice Willis has dropped the onomatopoeia for the skates. That was my argument against the people saying that it wouldn't be annoying at all. You can't just have big sound effects over someone's head in their room and pretend that the sound isn't loud.
But I'm guessing he dropped them so that people can say that skates aren't loud at all as an excuse to let Carla break the rules.
I think in reality, they wouldn't be super loud, but also Carla wouldn't be able to get the speeds she achieves in the strip. I'm not an expert, but carpet seems like it would have a lot of resistance.
Yeah, the glasses thing is because Willis knows what he and his fans, and what that is is moderately attractive nerd girls. That's why there's at least three or four in his various works.
If Carla were actually trying to skate up and down the halls (it's not just a glide from one end of the hall to the other - She keeps rolling back and forth for hours, doing laps and circuits around everyone's private rooms) on carpeted floors, she would have to be HOOFING the fuck out of those skates (also because they're roller skates and not the smoother-gliding roller blades), stomping with each HARD push only to roll about 4 feet across the high-friction carpet with each stride.
Basically, Carla would be making so much god damn noise that you could barely hear yourself think with all the *STOMP-grrrind STOMP-grrrind STOMP-grrrind* noises permeating the entire floor (and probably the one below), tearing up the carpet and damaging the property, and let's be clear, here - have you seen roller skate wheels? They're fucking tiny, and hard plastic. You hit a microscopic crumb of a pebble and you're biting the pavement. Carla is freakishly tall (a.k.a regularly tall for a penis-wielding man-beast) and has a VERY high centre of gravity. Her heavy body would practically be crashing onto the ground after every couple of strides, seeing how it's a shared space where lots of little bits of dirt and debris clutter the main floors.
You know what? I'm imagining the lower floor residents, and remembering the part where she's literally just jumping and stomping to piss off Mary. That shit would have angered half the god damn building and gotten her kicked out, or at least have her skates confiscated, on the spot. But if I recall, Carla has some kind of plot armor apparently due to connections so the entire rest of the campus would be kicked out before her.
In summary - Willis is a fucking hack. In other news: Grass is green.
That was my point last year when all of this was happening for the first time.
For Carla, skating is fun. It is hard to have fun skating while on a carpet. Therefore, she would have more fun skating outside on a flat surface that doesn't have carpet on it.
People in the comments focused on Mary being Mary, rather than addressing this particular issue. Carla has literally no reason to skate indoors like this. It's pointless and stupid and annoying.
Even worse than having no reason, her reason seems to be annoying people. I mean look at her joy messing with Joyce and Billie about it. Or her parkour leap over Amber that made her drop all her laundry.
In the fight between Mary and Carla, Mary clearly got interrupted while reading her book and went back to reading it in the hall and after she glued her skates. Carla just tries to annoy her. Even after the skates gets fucked, she doesn't get Ruth to force Mary to replace them, she just continues making noise.
And when you add that on top of the fact that she'd have way more fun outside, it's a really bad look.
If I lived in that building, I'd do everything in my power to get that person banned from the dorms. If that didn't work, I'd move. I would not be able to stand this garbage.
Maybe in those three days someone activated a universal reset.
There was a whole dramatic crescendo and everything, Amber went super-villain after tasting blood, Joyce and Sal became a humorously conflicting dynamic duo, Danny learnt the true meaning of love and confidence, Mary got a heroic moment or two; it was great.
It ended with a massive confrontation where Dorothy finally rebelled against the fear-based slavery of the tyrannical Amazi-girl, and then used time-travel to undo the awful crimes of the last three days.
What we're seeing now its the universe after being reset, but certain things are different due to the psychic ripples from the undone universe.
>Even worse than having no reason, her reason seems to be annoying people.
Not to generalise but some trannies do seem to take out their frustrations on other people in a very passive aggressive way. It's one bit of characterisation Willis completely unintentionally got right.
> Later, Mary furiously fingered her squelching fur-fringed fun tunnel as her hot, humid mouth engulfed Carla's pulsing cock and a stray finger found its way into Carla's quivering rosebud. Carla let out a grunt of passion as her balls unloaded a week's pent-up tummy tadpoles down Mary's gulping, suctioning throat.
Does anyone have the edit of Carla and the cookie thing?
>one week
>not two years
And they consider themselves anime fans.
This one?
> The next night, Mary presented herself on all fours to Carla backside first, and whispered in a husky voice "Breed me like the filthy little cow I am. Fill me with your fiery ginger seed, Carla, and own me." It felt wrong: Carla was a woman now, but at the same time Mary's desperate cries to mean something to someone else were impossible to ignore. The apple and the serpent…and the serpent was rising.
Yes, thanks user.
So... a better version of the Drama Tag?
Is there anyone in these threads that doesn't want those two to have a cute slap-kiss relationship?
It's my favorite ship of the strip by far
> Later, Mary licked clean the other cream in this picture, the cream between Carla's thighs
The perfect revenge for Mary is for her to do nothing and Carla will just get herself in trouble and piss everyone off.
Carla calling Mary out for her transphobia distracted from the bigger issue. That she's an annoying bitch that no one likes.
Reminder to hide the thread and move on, autist.
Tonight we get a frustrating reminder that this was a shitty motivation for a stupid plot that could have been over a year ago if Willis's characters weren't all assholes.
Also, no one would have EVER come up with the nickname "Ruthfull". That is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard.
