The Last Roomies! Story Ever, Promise: Page 2
on December 18, 2021 at 1:01 amHello, Mr. Lesse! We don’t get to see much of him in the Dumbiverse because, y’know, he’s dead, and this is our first unsilhouetted look at him in the Walkyverse as well. We already know he’s kinda banging Billie’s mom, and that Ruth knows he’s banging Billie’s mom, and so we have some fallout from that here.
Also, older Howard! It’s a trick to get him to look different than Howard’s Dad.

How hard was it to not draw Dick Lesse as William Atherton
Ha! Brilliant!
Also, I was today years old when I realized that he’s the same actor who played Dick Thornburg in Die Hard. How did I miss that for 33 years?!
best reason to have kids
so they can call you out on your bullshit
(wouldn’t actually know, don’t have ’em and didn’t have parental bullshit to call out)
God, the hair and browntone color scheme almost make Older Howard look like Blaine. Terrifying.
Unusually, the one with the goatee is the one who isn’t pure evil
My reaction, exactly. Yipes.
… I did not realize that wasn’t Howard’s Dad until I read the commentary. It makes more sense now.
…for a second I misinterpreted your comment to mean that Mr. Lesse wasn’t Howard’s dad, not Older Howard himself.
Not that it would surprise me that much if he turned out to be, like, Blaine’s kid or something. They look kinda similar, especially with Howard’s hair darkening here. Plus, Clint (aka “Sir,” aka Mrs. Lesse’s dad) first showed up as a Shortpacked! rando…
I’m taking this crack theory entirely too seriously, aren’t I
Mr. Lesse was likely not Blaine in the Walkyverse – pretty sure the timing doesn’t work out – and Mr. Lessick definitely isn’t Blaine because he existed and is dead. It’s possible that Mr. Lesse wasn’t actually Ruth and/or Howard’s dad, I suppose, but that seems a bit too convoluted for something that couldn’t extend to the Dumbingverse (because it’s been indicated Rose and Zaph AREN’T Blaine’s kids in this universe, only Amber and Faz, so adding new ones from Canada unrelated to Amber’s arc would be odd) and never came up in Shortpacked.
I like that even her own dad doesn’t want to mess with Ruth.
I like how he looks like Blaine in panel 5
Search your feelings, you know it to be true. Howard and Faz being half-brothers would explain way too goddamn much.
Our first time seeing Dick Lesse in over eight years
Also our last time hopefully, screw that guy
Is his name seriously Dick Lesse?
Yep. There’s a couple characters whose last names changed in the universe swap to be less punny (Ruth Lesse to Lessick and Dina Sarazu to Dina Saruyama to be an actual last name as well.) Old universe Mr. Lesse was named Richard.
Richard Lesse kinda sucked.
I didn’t realize older Howard wasn’t his dad until I read the commentary.
I’m not sure that’s consistent with the Walkyverse rules of time-travel, but ICBW.
Just pop the ears back on.
This is like the second chapter of Watchmen, right? Where all the heroes have different memories of the dead guy.
Man, adult Howard?
This might be interesting
My headcanon is that Ruth’s Mom’s name is Hope.
That’s also my headcanon!
So I tried ‘shopping Old Howard to remove the beard and yep, he’s totally Blaine under there.
It’s uncanny! Almost as if they were drawn by the same person! 😉
The similarities don’t bother me so much as the fact that the FREAKING FRECKLES VANISH WITH AGE
He looks like Blaine.
All bad dads look alike in this universe, it makes them easier to spot.
