Roomies (comic)

Roomies! is a web comic by David Willis starring the college adventures of two roommates, Danny and Joe. It ran from September 8, 1997 to December 19, 1999. Originally a daily comic published in the Indiana University student newspaper, it was turned into a web comic in early 1999. It is a mix of daily gag strips and short stories, with the stories drifting towards more serious topics as the comic progressed.

Roomies! was succeeded by It's Walky!, a science fiction adventure comedy comic set in the same universe. The main cast of It's Walky! included some continuing characters from Roomies!—in particular Joyce, Danny's former stalker—and by the end most of the major characters from Roomies! had made appearances.

More recently, after he finished It's Walky!, David Willis restarted Roomies! as a daily gag strip, appearing on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It is also published as part of the Keenspot comic page in the Turlock, California newspaper, the Turlock Journal.
