     I gotta agree I love Joyce it might be because I’m a Christian myself and it’s nice to see a Christian character not being potrayed as a complete Pycho…well after Roomies! but still.

       at the beginning before she had her brain wipe she was psycho and very ditsy she was cute but i would think a lot of Christians would kinda be insulted by it XD

         The best part of your comment is that Joyce’s portrayal of a crazy fundamentalist was completely sincerely what Willis believed when he wrote it.

     It was an April Fools joke. He claimed he was re-launching Roomies and cancelling Shortpacked!…

   This strip is rapidly becoming DoA canon. Danny and Billie banging? Check. Joe knows? Check. Just need Joyce to stop avoiding Joe and start stalking Danny and it all fits together nicely.

     I’m… I’m pretty sure this strip implies that Billie and Danny are NOT banging.

       Well, Danny’s outright stating they’re not, but I read that as denial. Either way, I figured the implication was that Billie and Danny had something going on with each other. She chose to hang out over there…

       I was guessing that you were going to do something like spend the next couple of months in DoA setting things up so the last strip of March would transition seamlessly to a remake of this on April 1st. As always, my prediction is a swing and a miss, along with my attempt to sneak a comment into a thread that will go unnoticed for a while, evidently.

         This strip is just a very liberal retelling of this old Roomies! strip, from back when Billie and Danny definitely hadn’t done it, but definitely wanted to, during their explosive sexual tension days.

         And no new post escapes me! They all pop up on my dash as they arrive, no matter where in the archives they appear! Mwahahaha.

   This strip is of some other universe cause in DOA Joyce isn’t in love with Danny. And in Roomies Joyce was gone by the time Danny and Billie were interacting.

     Yeah, makes no sense that Joyce would be even in the same room as Billie during Roomies. That was partially the April 1st Joke

   I hit “next” on the previous strip and flipped over to a different window to check tonight’s Roomies! rerun while this page was loading. I was very confused for a second when I flipped back here.
