Note: While it’s true that many things are based on actual events, the characters contained within this strip are not meant to be direct analogs for actual people. They are not based off of people living, dead, or undead and any resemblance is coincidental. Nor are they based off of Ferrets.
Because that would be weird.
Terrence – always the charmer.
He reminds me of this scene from “Ruthless People”:

“Give the gun to Bozo”
So, will this end with a 16 ton weight crushing him and removing him permanently from the comic?
Time to get a Restraining order Ruth, maybe also talk Sarah into getting one too.
I’m kind of wondering if Terrence knows what words mean, or if he just randomly chooses words to insult people. Sarah’s behavior could be described many ways, but “nosey” isn’t really one of them.
Frankly, none of the rest of the insult applies either. It sounds to me like he hit on her and she rejected him, that sounds like usual sort of dudebro projection.
With respect to all; while it’s a very hateful thing for him to describe her as, Sarah has been a canonically promiscuous character, so “half-the-town” is mere hyperbole. Whether or not she practiced safe sex with all her lovers remains to be seen.
Then again, if I recall, Ruth is ACE so that might not be an issue for her at all: perhaps they’ve only cuddled or gone on dates
I’m not really sure why you’re trying to justify a line literally written to be something only a hateful, awful person would say
