Jason wins!  ...or does he.

Had to wait to run this one until today's strip went public on the main site for everyone!  So here it is.  Y'all voted for Jason but you didn't realize he was gonna pop up so soon.

Didn't realize this was 2 years ago already! :o Feels like just a few months ago.

I love Jason I want more of him in my life

William Tessmer

In my experience the line between dark humor and suicidal ideation is somewhere between razor thin and non-existent. As if the rest of this interaction didn't indicate how poorly Ruth is actually doing.

Amós Batista

It's nice to see Ruth going to therapy group. Psichiatric treatment is not only medicine.

Regalli

There are exceptions, but when the subject is your own desire for self-destruction… yeah, I am DEEPLY concerned.

Populuxe

I’m feeling kind of dumb right now. Why has Ruth handcuffed Jason to the door, anyway?

Fart Captor

I imagine that will be revealed in an upcoming strip

Spencer

W-why does Jason have less clothes on afterwards

Pierpaolo Di Camillo

I just love Ruth's dark humour ♡. And Jason's British humour is really good. They could be a the funny couple (of friend) of the strip♡♡♡!

Derick Huth

I wonder if it’s a feeling of lack of control over her life. Like, she’s done things that should have gotten her fired. Several times over. And yet, here she is. This strikes me as her testing the boundaries, in a way that is very true to herself. “Well, if I can get away with anything, guess y’all won’t mind if I do this”

Hope Wilson

When he's in the tank top you can see the removed shirt/vest hanging off his arm (must not have been able to fully remove them because of the handcuffs) - presumably he just got uncomfy or hot and wanted the formal uncomfy stuff to not be restricting him anymore (I would have done the same thing)

Andrea Andrew

Poor Jason. He keeps getting involved in the main cast’s shenanigans.

Edwin I Callahan

Ruth doesn’t seem to worry about the IU administration but Jason can swear out felony-level complaints against her for kidnapping/unlawful restraint. Of course, Ruth’s comment about her potential for homicidal ideation might address the Jason issue. ,

C-Cubed

Is Ruth still drunk during this? Cause if not this became even more concerning somehow.

Shane Wegner

I'm not seeing comic-style drunk bubbles!

Daniel Adams

A little sad this is a bonus and not just part of the regular continuity.

Daniel Adams

My guess? Mania mixed with loneliness.

Norah Willett

Though it doesn’t seem to be doing much good based on this disturbing behavior.

Norah Willett

She dodged a bullet, apparently. Yikes.

Dan Rabin

IIRC the bonus strips go into the books.

Lars Hoffmann

Jason ... didn't win? With 37 votes Jason 2nd placed after Jocelyn with 42 votes. Weird. But without some changes in Jocelyns life (success as writer or some sutch), Jason is way funnier.

Bagge

Jason finally got a girl he likes to study. Win!

William Tessmer

Yeah, should've specified I meant specifically dark humor about suicide. I've heard and told many of these "jokes" and they're pretty much never exactly that.

William Tessmer

It's been made clear that people won't be shown if they're being saved for Future Story Reasons (tm). And since the timeskip a lot has changed and everyone has had reveals, so a lot of people have been off limits. Remember, Patreon is only a pretend democracy. Overlord Willis will maintain his youth through our tears, as has been repeatedly demonstrated.

T Campbell

This is basically why I can't stand doomer humor; it's functionally indistinguishable from a cry for help
