    I think Roz is actually my sister-in-law in disguise!

    Get revenge Ethan! No one knows she’s there yet! ;) She could be in a crate to Abu Dhabi by nightfall! Or is that cats?

    Even having read through the entirety (as far as I can tell) of the archives, I can’t remember any mention of Roz. Given, my memory is terrible…

    Even more upsetting is the fact that I can’t seem to find her mentioned on the wiki, meaning I can’t refresh my memory with wiki-ease ):

      Click her name in the list of tags under the strip. You will be given all of her appearances in chronological order.

        Even better than wiki-ease! Thank you, Sir Walksalot :)

        Further disappointment, however; earlier Rox strips are not ringing any bells! Either I managed to skip over them, or my memory is worse than I feared.

    Posting for the very first time to say this – Am I the only one who initially thought Roz was a little old lady? With the granny glasses she looks more like Robin’s mom. I just don’t buy her as “young” with this character model.

    Yeah, this is…no. Just moving the boxes is bad enough, but boxing up his stuff, no. And moving in without telling anyone until it’s done, over the objections of the roommates(who had plans for the room) and the owners(who hate you) is a [censored] move. Plus the joyous cockblocking. And she doesn’t even seem repentant. Someone needs to throw her out, fast.

      Hummm… You know, I’d suggest hooking up Roz with Faz as a fitting punishment, but of course, that would just give Faz an excuse to come over to the house and hang out. That would never do.

    To everyone who thought I was wrong about Roz putting all of Ethan’s things into the totes:

    I told you so.

    Ha! Ethan wouldn’t leave all his toys in totes in that big empty room for very long. Of course he already had them out.

      I am chastened.

      But surely he has a wall of totes *somewhere*. I mean, it’s only one house, with only so many flat level surfaces, and there are even other humans (like the house’s owners) who likely have the audacity to want to compete with Ethan’s toys for valuable space.

        I’m sure. I know I have a couple of closets full of totes filled with stuff I don’t have display room for right now. I have an entire wall of G.I. Joe and it’s not even every
        G.I. Joe toy I own!

    You know, normally in comics, TV, books, movies, etc. I just take characters as they come. I always had the attitude of “that’s what happens in the story.” I never got the insane message board hatred of certain characters, as though the fans had a personal stake in what happened or had to deal with those personalities themselves.

    Right now I am getting it a little bit, because I hate Roz.

      Darn, right up ’till the point where you commented about your distaste for Roz I was actually going to reply, “Finally, someone who thinks exactly as I do about this.”

      In case you had not guessed, I don’t hate any of the characters (though I don’t have any great love for Ultracar) and wouldn’t be particularly angry at any of them if they did these things to me.

      Then again maybe I’m just a huge pushover, or just too Canadian for my own good (I operate under the assumption that a “sorry” no matter how insincere makes everything better).

        You’re not the only one, although I’d be extremely angry with them if they tried any one of the majority of the shenanigans the author pens so well. I enjoy each of the characters immensely (see, they’re fictional), and every time someone goes on a bizarre, highly-specific hate rant on a character (often on a rather minute slight), I secretly hope for them to have some character development of their own.

      While it’s true that your “correction” is a quotation of common use, Roz’s line is Rule 18 from NCIS.

    For some reason, Roz is voiced by Guerrero from Human Target in my head.

    And it’s awesome.

    … I think I’m the only one who noticed the NCIS reference in there, since “It’s better to ask forgiveness than permission” is one of Gibbs’ rules.
