            Robin hasn’t appeared in Dumbing of Age (yet). she’s a character that has appeared a lot in the other universe. Primarily in the strips It’s Walky and Shortpacked. She’s the one on the for left on the Shortpacked Banner on this site and is also David Willis’ Tiwitter Avatar (as seen on his Twitter Feed shown on the page)

            Took me far too long to read his archives. Too much to do in one run, but sleeping just made it take so much longer. Plus the cat had recently been introduced in shortpacked, so I tried doing something positive and Girls with Slingshots too. Petered out halfway through sp and didn’t read any more walky comics for months. Then I remembered that they were awesome, which is why I put so much time in in the first place, and I’ve been a regular ever since.

            Truth be told he actually does an amazing job of making every comic understandable on its’ own merits, so an archive binge is actually quite unnecessary. Especially for Doa, there’s really no reason to read through the archives. You know, except for how great a read they are;)

        I, for one, am loving the sameness / differentness between the universes. I started on SP about a year ago, and finally read the Walky stuff right before DOA came out. Sign that this universe is OK: Mike likes punching people.

    Funny how the scorn goes to the woman, rather than the guy who would have brought her back to his place after getting rejected by someone else he intended to use, with the “justification” that it was a privilege to sleep with him.

    Yeah, I remember that guy from college. At least he was clear about what he wanted. Why should a woman that does the same or accepts it from a man be judged more harshly?

          You don’t know this Roz yet. You know someone else that looks like her and grew up with the same identity.

          Maybe she has the exact same traits you found despicable elsewhere. Maybe not.

      I slept with a Roz once, when I was single. It was awesome. No hangups, and we both got exactly what we wanted. Another time, when I was in a relationship, a Roz thought she’d have me. I resisted, and we became friends and there was no awkwardness exactly because of her casual view of sex. I like Roz.

            Eolirin, I think what zuche is implying is that if it turns out that Roz & Robin’s father (since they’re apparently full sisters, not half-sisters) turns out to be Amber’s father as well (since he seemed to out-Joe Joe back in the day) that is when zuche will be stuck on o_0 for a while.

Andrew bought a Transformer from @damnyouwillis.bsky.social‬ and he included magnets of the Walkyverse characters who look the most like us.
Two magnetic characters: a black-haired guy and a brown-haired girl with glasses. He included a third one that I think is the character who looks the most like Helen from my webcomic Narbonic.
