Characters: Joe Rosenthal, Joyce Brown
Location: Danny and Joe's dorm room
So I have a Cafepress-edition Roomies! Book 1 handy near my desk which I’ve been referencing as I slot the New Stories where they need to go within the Old Stories. I’ve been keeping an eye out for the story from Roomies! #3, and after becoming increasingly curious about where the hell it went, exactly, I poured through the Cafepress book like thirty times before realizing that the Roomies! #3 story wasn’t in there. And after a mad panic, I ascertained that it wasn’t in the Real Roomies! Book 1, either.
God dammit.
Well, uh. Here it is now. A story new to… probably… all of you…
man i guess this’ll have to go in the back of roomies! book 2 or something
Loading ...
Well, she’s not lying…?
I’m surprised she knows and can correctly use the term.
She doesn’t have much of a problem with breasts, her fancy yellow dress shows some cleavage and she doesn’t have a problem. It’s downstairs that she’s squeamish about.
Either that or she’s so fixated on Danny she can get over her fears.
She knows her audience, perhaps a little too well.
Willis, quit pretending that Roomies! book two will someday exist.
I’m thinking it’ll be the first stretch goal for my next Kickstarter, rather than the second. Just to get it done, dammit.
Will the next Kickstarter be Shortpacked! 5 or Dumbing of Age 2?
Dumbing of Age 2. I have vowed to never be behind on Dumbing of Age books, unlike how I let Shortpacked! books get away from me because of that old hard drive crash. (Also because I’d have to do like two SP! books a year because I can’t fit as many comics per page, so that was never gonna happen anyway.) Plus, well, book 2s sell a hell of a lot better than book 5s.
Hooray, how long until that gets set up? I’m guessing not for awhile since December and January tend to be low traffic months.
I’d like to start working on that in earnest once I get all the previous kickstarter books finally mailed.
I didn’t know you had it in you, Joyce.
Not the duplicitiousness, we already know you’re capable of that. I’m talking about using the phrase “well-endowed.”
I don’t think this has happened yet in this run, but:
“Lady, he has a venereal disease!”
if you actually hadn’t read roomies before, um… whoops
not yet, but soon, yeeessss verrry sooon. within the next two months
Is that Mary on the wall? and I think it says “dork” but its so small I might be reading it wrong.
I wonder if that shirt was left there to confirm that they did in fact own more than one apiece.
Mary is indeed on the wall. Futureshadowing!
The hell is Joe watching?
(Also, now that I’ve noticed Joe and Danny are in room 320 I’m gonna see if that’s been consistent.)
Check the tags. Well, tag.
The number should be consistent. It was my door number.
Anyone in there in DoA?
I’d say probably Danny and Joe again, but their room is mirrored versus how it is in Roomies!, so it can’t be. So I dunno.
Southpark, of course.
Oh, hey, it’s in the tags and I’m an idiot.
nice sign for the restroom or toilet … it is a restroom right or is it *gasp* a closet?!?
Yay Story I haven’t ever read! Also clever Joyce.
Joe is not the brightest fellow.
That or Joyce has Blanc-level vocal skills.
Is it just me or is Joyce in the last panel way better drawn than everything else on the page?
I love that Joe apparently left a shirt identical to the one he’s wearing now on Danny’s bed. Dunno why.
She knows what “well-endowed” means?
She’s capable of saying those words?
Well I’m guessing she at least knows it means “attractive” and “able to get her own way”.
