Location: Danny and Joe's dorm room
The friend that Joe was based on was by far the coolest of us three, so Joe and Howard’s interaction in the comic is fairly evocative of their real life dynamic. Evocative, but in no way literal.

Wait, the freshman is across the hall from them? What a coincidence that could not possibly have been seen coming from a mile away.
If he was at Danny’s mandatory floor meeting, he has to be from the same portion of hallway. That’s how it works.
It is? I thought it was possible that he could have been at the other end of the hall.
Maybe my college is just different.
I’m not sure about how the Roomies! College is, but in mine it doesn’t matter what year you are, fourth and fifth (it’s a degree thing) are in the same hall as freshmen and sophomores. Third years are ostracized from the school’s society and must find shelter if they wish to survive. I’m not looking forward to it.
So Joe and Howard are the inversion of J.D. and the Janitor?
No, I’d say they’re pretty much just J.D. and the Janitor.
Yeah, I was just thinkin’ since Joe is the one pennying Howard’s door shut instead of (allegedly) vice-versa.
Wait, what does that mean? ‘Pennying’ somebody’s door shut? We don’t have that at my school. (We just have break-ins.)

This is, what, the second joke Scrubs stole from you?
Pennying a door shut is a real thing. I don’t think it’s something Scrubs can steal from me.
how do people not know about pennying?
pee pucks? Axe bombs? the ol’ Vaseline to the door handle?
CLASSIC(ally obnoxious) college dorm pranks.
Oooo creepy. I just watched that episode today.
I honestly kinda thought he’d made a pennylanche in front of the door.
