It’s the last Roomies! storyline before we move on to It’s Walky, folks! Well, sort of. Technically it’s split up into three storyline titles, but it’s all the same damn event. So. It’s the home stretch, at any rate. Note I make sure I rope all the characters into being around. I thought it’d be my last chance to write them ever, and boy was I wrong!
Note “Mother Bear’s” gets mentioned, despite there being a “Papa Bruin’s” used in its place elsewhere. Inconsistent!
Billie totally lives in that dorm room.

“Last chance to write them ever”? So you didn’t know they’d all be cropping up in It’s Walky!, then?
Well, Joe at least was definitely going to reappear as Ultra-Car’s dad, but maybe not the others?
I didn’t suspect they’d become that important again. Danny was necessary eventually, sure, but Joe and Billie and the rest popping up again wasn’t something I’d considered.
It culminated in freaking Danny the hell out, so it was totally worth it.
So… which one of them actually wants Little Caesar’s?
Probably Danny.
It’s Danny, Isn’t it?
Danny is the worst (taste in food).
That’s why Danny-flavored candy never took off
That’s all WE ever ate, ’cause it’s fucking TWICE the pizza!
Also, the others really didn’t exist in our area. Or flagrantly screw its employees over Obamacare.
Only like two months until It’s Walky!
Starts July 9.
Are the old IW! archives going away then?
did the old roomies archives go away when this started?
No, but the old Roomies! archives are on itswalky.com, which I believe Willis has said will redirect here when IW! reruns start.
Seeing as how she’s sitting in the guys dorm room, and going to ‘get a box of her stuff’….yeah it looks like you have her living their and settling in even more.
What’s funny is how surprised she seems to be that her stuff is still there. I guess she expected they would have thrown it all out already?
[or drank it, if it’s just like five kegs or that]
…living there….dang no edit
Literally the first thing I thought when I read “Mother Bear’s” was “Isn’t it PAPA BRUIN’S in this universe?” Whatever, all will bow to Galasso eventually.
This has been a nice way to catch up on the cannon of this universe as well as to get some of the nods and in jokes of the ‘Dumbing of an Age’ universe. And even though I know how it eventually turns out I look forward to the adventures of Walky and Co
Bloomington in the 2000s actually has Bear’s and Mother Bear’s as two different though nearby pizza places. I’m not sure if they share ownership or what. Anyway, room for multiple Bear-themed pizza places!
Hey, we used to have a Papa John’s in my hometown over here in the Old World. They built a reputation for the tastiest pizza around, mainly due to using really, really salty cheese.
Apparently Papa John’s is different across the pond. Here in the US it’s known as cheap mediocre pizza (but they do deliver).
Here also in the US (though outside of the places you get more independent pizza parlors than chains), it’s known as the best pizza you can’t get from a buffet.
This is patently false. Even Domino’s is better than PJ’s.
…Maybe Billie applied for a new dorm room? It makes the most sense, and it’d probably be pretty easy.
