Whoof, had to recolor this one.
This ran Saturday, September 9, 2006, the day before Roomies!’s ninth anniversary. (Because strips didn’t run on Sundays at the time.) So, y’know, here. It’s a double-sized color anniversary strip. I guess!
*scratches brain* i’m pretty sure the kid here in billie’s uterus is born on the tenth anniversary strip, so, uh, i’m guessing this strip actually “happens” a few months later than this was published, i dunno, or the tenth anniversary one “happened” earlier
or it’s just a 13-month gestational period who knows
anyway happy leap year
babies arrive on their own schedule
Whose is the box of rage on the left?
Billie’s, most likely.
Ultra Car’s.
And its owner will most likely want it back.
Likely meant to be “GARAGE”, but equally plausible that it’s Billie’s rage she won’t be needing (as much of) now.
So are they gonna teach their baby to climb out windows and look for chicks after it’s born?
Well as long as the kid doesn’t end up trying to destroy a continent or fall out of a window then it should be fine.
This is Danny we’re talking about, here. Of course the kid’s gonna wind up with Sal as an aunt… 😀
Just be glad that neither of them are abductees. I’m not sure either of them have what it takes to raise a super-baby!
It will be a girl, named Joan… and her very first day of college, she will climb out a window to peak in the boy’s floor of the dorm.
Upon hearing about this… Danny will just give Billie a flat look… and she will roll her eyes, grumbling as she digs into her purse to hand over the money she lost in the bet.
Outer space radiation does weird things to the gestation process.
