One Day, Part 1, page 6
on August 19, 2013 at 12:01 amAnd so this first half of the story ended, TO BE CONCLUDED in next issue. But next issue never came! And so this story went unfinished for many years. Eventually I just threw it up on the website randomly because I got sick of it not being published anywhere, after Roomies! Book 2 took forever to come out.
I am hoping, while writing this in May, that Roomies! Book 2 is like on a boat or something now? And that I can give this book to you soonish? With the second half of this story in it, finally published in paper as originally intended? That’d be nice!
Of course, digitally, you can read the second half starting tomorrow.
Oh, hey, this is now the first appearance of Walky, kind of. (He’s already appeared once as a tiny silhouette, but meh.) HE’S IMPORTANT. A HEADS UP.

Why does Ruth’s glasses look like safety goggles?
It was the 90s?
I remember the 90s and I am fairly certain that safety goggles wern’t a fashion item, at least not according to TV and video of the time.
Comic books, on the other hand… (See: Jubilee or The Eradicator.)
Or Cyclops in his 90s civvies. (Although I suppose in his case they were more of a safety feature. But he was able to wear ruby quartz in ordinary frames before and after.)
They’re thinking of the New 10s or at least how I think it should be.
It’s Walky!
Yes, yes he is.
Not until the next strip. Ot the one after that. Or maybe the one after *that*.
I am *not* looking it up in the old archives.
Walky? That’s a silly name. It’s a good thing he isn’t a main character or anything.
Who’s Walky? I only see a David and a Jennifer.
Damn Danny, stop slouching. You’re gonna give yourself some serious back problems if you keep it up.
It’s nice seeing Walky getting getting beat up. I could read a whole comic of that.
That little kid you’re looking at Danny? Yeah, he’s gonna take your place in the comic. And the fans are gonna LOVE it.
The comic or the character?
Man, Walky’s right, Ruth is the worst babysitter.
She didn’t even bother teaching Billie that you gotta threaten the femurs.
Nor the FAAAAAAACE!!
SOON
Imagine seeing this strip for the first time & being utterly confused by Ruth stating she was babysitting “Billie”, while the kids in the next picture are clearly named “David” & “Jennifer”.
so she was babysitting someone she’d bang 10 years later? man that seed took a long time to bloom.
Oh, so this is this Walky person this universe is named for?
I’m unimpressed.
Also, I had no clue there was such a radical age difference between Billie and Ruth.
He gets more impressive later. Kinda. For certain definitions of “Impressive.”
So Roomies! Book Two was waiting at Aslan’s bus stop? 😛
