Foreshadowing

Here we are back in Original Strip Land again. Â I apparently thought it was important to restate the events of the comics which had just happened! Â This was published on a Thursday, so it’s not like I’m recapping for the weekend. Â I probably just wanted everyone to realize exactly what was at stake when Danny got up to his dorm room and found a surprise visitor. Â Just hammering it all in, so you See What I Did There.
Sure, younger self. Â Whatevs.

A giraffe would make things weirder.
Heh. Your weekend cliffhanger not only has been decliffhangerified, it’s been deweekeneded too. (yay verbing)
Well it’s not like these don’t publish every day anyway!
My perpetual astonishment requires me to react with shock and awe to this statement!
The Walkyverse? Get weirder? The hell you say, Danny. Silly lovestruck Joyce is as weird as it could possibly ever get.
it’s especially funny because the oh-so-hilariously lampshaded “foreshadowing” doesn’t even make work now because we already know where sal’s going… so this is like a completely superfluous comic
*make sense
dammit
I think it works, because we’re watching Danny try to sort his thoughts and make sense of what’s going on at the moment only to have things thrown for a curve again soon.
Some of us are reading this for the first time.
That comment was a mistake.
Wait, isn’t that spelled “Understandably”? Come on, Younger Willis, at least proofread the script before you ink it in.
Half the fun of reading these is seeing Present Willis mock Past Willis for how ham-handed he was with his writing.
Half?
Okay, almost all of it. I’m trying to be charitable to Past Willis here.
Present Willis\Past Willis OTP!
What is this, Homestuck?
Actually, considering how much of a break is between this comic and the last Original Style comic, a recap couldn’t hurt.
and in the context of the comic pages, dramatic irony
Hey, wait! The next two comics take place simultaneously! How’s that gonna work?
Hey, this has nothing to do with the current storyline, but I’m curious… will the Roomies Redux strips made after It’s Walky! be shuffled into this archive?
Probably. My question is if it’s going to go long enough to get to Joyce & Walky and then show the prescription strips after the fifteen years.
I’m preety sure Willis has said multiable times Roomies! Redux will be in their proper chronological placement.
Joyce & Walky! he’s still debating on.
Putting Roomies! Redux in the right spot is half the reason this site exists!
Is it in the right spot in the book?
Yes. Roomies Redux takes place right before Ruth’s flashback story, which opens Book 2.
Ahh, okay. I discovered this a while after it started, so I must not have seen any of those.
Joyce and Walky prescription strips: Just what the Willis ordered!
“Previously, a recap…” Weird.
When I’m thinking back on past events, I usually say to myself, “Previously, on Buffy the Vampire Slayer…”
“All right… a recap…” is how that should have started. I’m not sure how I lapped myself like that.
“I couldn’t have been more wrong”

the giant asterisk labeled FORESHADOWING is unintentionally one of the best punchlines out of all the Roomies! strips so far
