One Day, Part 2, page 1
on August 20, 2013 at 12:01 amLinked here is what would have been the cover to Roomies! #6. When that didn’t happen, I repackaged the art as a limited print instead. I’m linking instead of inlining the cover because there are probably SOME people who are reading this for the first time, and it kind of super-spoils a future storyline.
Once the comic book series was finished, it wasn’t until three years later that I would begin drawing Part 2. The ideas simmered and cooked for a long while, and when the story finally came out, my drawing and coloring style had evolved. The first page of Part 2 mostly recaps the last panel of Part 1 because I expected the halves of the story to be published separately. But hey, whoops, it wouldn’t ever end up that way, would it. My original plan was to split up the parts between Roomies! Book 1 and 2, but then :Roomies! Redux!” happened and that took the place in the book of part 1. So both parts are now in Book 2, as never intended.

She looks so much younger in this redrawn version.
Bah, how bad can this cover b-
…oooh….oh…oh.
…I’m so sorry.
This storyline is cursed to never be correctly published, wasn’t it. Wouldn’t surprise me if something happened to the servers at the end of it.
Not sure what you mean, it’s up somewhere in the middle of the Joyce & Walky archives on the old site, and I’m positive it’s completed.
They mean that it will never be printed or presented in such a way that severs the two halves.
I love how Walky isn’t even stopping. He’s standing his ground. LIKE A MAN.
Huh, Walky’s line has an exclamation mark in this version. Sort of shifts the entire tone of what he’s saying from a sort-of snide remark to actual annoyance. Or something. I’m probably saying it wrong.
How old is Ruth during this flashback, 15?
About.
it is me! it is me that has never read this before and is suuuuuper excited!! yaaaay! thanks for the spoiler warning willis!
Third textblock has the word “have” double. Since Book 2 is already being shipped, it’s probably too late for this kind of correction.
Cover is a spoiler indeed. It also elicited a big “Ewww!” from me. While I’m perfectly fine with the story it wants to convey, its tone seems very close to the kind of religious fanart you abhor.
I’m reading this for the first time! …. but I’ve also absorbed many, many spoilers via Shortpacked and Dumbing of Age comments. Still exciting, though- I’ll get to see how the plot unfolds from one spoilered event to the next. (In all seriousness.)
I archive-binged a month ago and (I think) made it through the primary Walky-verse (IW, J&W, Roomies). I’m seeing strips I have read, but having the new commentary helps. Currently working on the Sp! archives. As Sal would say, “Ah’m a gettin’ there.”
That “too good for this world” line is major foreshadowing, isn’t it.
It foreshadows that she’s set up for a change of attitude. More specifically her current state of utterly lacking selfworth. Which is kind of heartbreaking to think about, really.
Eh, I think it reads fine back-to-back.
I read the previous page and actually no it doesn’t but whatever
It says “My mom and dad have have told me…” so I think you should get rid of the “have” on the second line.
This is what you call “A durr kind of happy”?
As one of the “SOME people”, you gotta say -this is a spoiler!- first, then put the link. Just sayin’ =/
I’m reading this for the first time, but was also reading webcomics back when it was basically impossible to both read them and NOT know of the spoiler you’re mentioning, so… yeah.
