You know, Sal, under normal circumstances, I’m pretty sure this plan would backfire pretty hard. Â But lucky for you, Danny is Danny.
Woof.
Tomorrow. Â The real first strip.

Welp…I’m Scared now. Oh My God First First Post Ever!
You’re Ruth! You have good reason to be scared.
Watch out for trucks.
And now I’m sad.
Shit, and Ruth
now you’re Jason.
And now YOU’RE JASON
Sal is just all kinds of bitch here. So of course, aside from Joe’s parents’ divorce occurring in Roomies! Redux presumably because he’s cheating, none of this is ever mentioned again.
Tomorrow, college is fine, just like that.
Just cuz you prank your boyfriend isn’t really a reason to breakup with someone…
Pranking your boyfriend? Fine.
Pranking your boyfriend with near-rape and then threatening him if he moves on in college with something worse?
Run, Danny. Fuckin’ run.
Yeaaaah not a healthy relationship here, for sure.
“healthy relationship”
I don’t think I know what those are. …I don’t think Willis does, either.
Oh, hey, look, I was wrong!
And Danny leaves this visit even more convinced Sal’s good for him. -_-
I really would like to know sometime, who taught girls to say that line when they are in the middle of doing things we absolutely don’t like?
Mr. Rosenthal loves making memories. With his penis.
Willis are you in Cape Verde, or is the site just programmed to report it as 12:01 am 9/21?
According to the site’s clock on my wordpress dashboard, it thinks midnight EST happens at 8pm. It’s crazy. But I don’t really mind the 8pm updates, so whatevs.
Settings > General > Time Zone, if it ever bugs ya. Just picking “New York” should get you Midnight EST updates.
That’s what I mean. I have that set properly. (Though I use Detroit.)
Sounds like a UTC/Localtime mix-up. Windows sets the CPU clock to local time by default, where as Linux uses UTC by default, so if this server is a *nix environment being virtualized on a Windows system, you should set the virtualization software to report UTC instead of localtime or tell your *nix environment that you’re using localtime. Either one would work.
Too bad, Cape Verde might be cool. 8pm updates are cool too.
Speaking of Roomies! Redux, do you plan to include those strips where they would happen chronologically, or are you just gonna say “screw it” and put them after It’s Walky! like on the other site?
The point of the site is to make the archive more coherent and put things when they happen rather than when they were written–hence why this 2001 comic is being published now and tomorrow we leap to 1997. So my guess is Roomies Redux! is in the right place.
Ya know, I had to look at the tags to realize that wasn’t Alan driving the car…? (with lighter hair, no less)
Which is weird since SEMME hasn’t even shown up yet.
Even before abduction, Sal is not exactly Miss Nice. Yeah that should, repeat should, scare Danny- into transferring to a school in another country.
But he’s Danny.
Danny loves being dominated, doesn’t he.
You’d better believe it.
I like that Danny’s dad isn’t even asking why they’re like, soaking wet or anything.
“We were making out on the fountain and Danny leaned back like a moron.” Problem solved.
I’m more concerned about the car. He doesn’t even have towels on the seats! They’re going to get so much mildew!
My parents were really neurotic about that stuff.
What, they were supposed to take off their clothes or something?
…
HMM
I love that Ultra-Car is tagged even though it isn’t Ultra-Car yet.
I also chose to believe that truck is ominous retro-foreshadowing.
I, however, choose to believe that David Willis can’t draw a goddamn 18-wheeler without making it into Optimus Prime.
I do hope the headlights in the last panel were meant to look like ball sacks.
I saw hearts… but now I can’t unsee.
Man, that was back in the days of monkey ears. Seriously, those ears are bigger and stick out more than mine did back in middle school, and that’s really something.
And the lack of earholes makes it really hard to see those as ears, rather than big circular skin flaps popping off the side of their faces.
OH NO, OPTIMUS PRIME IS TRYING TO RUN THEM OFF THE ROAD!
Perhaps he mistook their car for Ironhide…
Run, Danny, run!
If you don’t get 100,000 marks to that phone booth in 20 minutes Sal’s going to die!
So, are the other strips going to be relettered too?
These were relettered and recolored far before BringBackRoomies was a thing. My edition of Roomies! or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Beer contains this version, and that was printed in 2009.
…BringBackRoomies the website, not BringBackRoomies the demand.
These were first relettered/recolored for the CafePress book in 2004. So no, no other relettering.
Yeah, I’m not sure how “I’m a nympho, oh wait sorry, just a cocktease” is supposed to connect to “hell hath no fury like me scorned”. But it’s easy enough to overlook since David Willis is himself embarrassed by his writing this early on.
Also not sure what “Danny is Danny” means yet since this early on in the pages, Danny strikes me as the viewpoint character who represents normal, though I’m sure that will change once we’re further in.
Danny’s kinda spineless, and though he gets better he’s pretty much the lesser in any given relationship. There’s more to him than that, but not that’s relevant to this situation.
I think the point Sal was trying to make was…um…she could do worse than joke about raping him? I dunno.
Was I the only one to immediately think of River Song when Sal said ‘Sweetie’?
The headlights have signs of early-onset butts disease.
Sal reminds me of a badly-written fanfic female character here, for some reason. I think it’s the sinister-threat-with-term-of-endearment-played-for-laughs.
In 16 years, that SUV is going to be a girl who works in a toy store.
The Walkyverse is a weird, weird place.
A girl who looks like the hypothetical Lesbian-Pregnant offspring of Ruth and Billie, no less. XD
And then she breaks up with him.
Granted, she was going through a lot, but the threat kinda seems empty now.
And by “Danny is Danny,” we mean “Danny is spineless and whipped”?
All these years later, and I still can’t help but imagine the jaws theme following that truck.
Waiting… waiting…
