    Is it naive of me to hope that the only fucking with my mind that’s going on here is that in the next strip or two Willis is going to pull the “Surprise! It’s exactly who you were expecting!”???

    so while this may be setup to intro robin in the strip i guess the obvious question would be why would robin care who slept with her sister. assuming that personalities are mostly the same they don’t really get along much

      I think that’s one of the reasons they don’t get along much.

      And her sister’s behaviour is being tied to her name, a scandal won’t really be good for her. Which might be exactly why Roz did it.

        In my original sentence, ‘straight men’ was used in the sense of ‘comic foil’ or ‘person who reacts to the funny antics of the wacky person’, e.g. Ethan is often the straight man to the many raging fanboys in Shortpacked!

    One thing I don’t get about this whole “Reboot” timeline:

    Was it caused when this one guy’s home blew up and so he tattooed himself and stole a planet-destroying mining ship and went back in time, or was it caused when Raiden looked at the future and said “Noooo! He must win!” ?

              Even if we hadn’t seen evidence of him using multiple factors in deciding a partner (see: his deciding Dany should date Sarah while he dates Joyce), a 1 to 10 system is still a system.

      Maybe Danny’s in the video instead of/in addition to Joe. IMPLIED DORM ORGIES. Can the look on Danny’s face REALLY be explained just by having to see his friend naked again?

        I doubt that it’s JUST the nakedness that’s bothering him.

        Seeing Joe hang around in underwear is one thing. Actually WATCHING him bang a chick seems like another thing entirely. As well as considering all the possible repercussions of Joe’s one-night-stand becoming a political incident.

    You know, as someone who goes to Indiana University and works at the paper there (the IDS), it’s rather odd to see it in a fictional setting. Do people who live in popular cities like New York and Chicago get that feeling when they see places they know?

      When the big tornado came through the St. Louis airport and tore it up, I looked at the pictures and it was weird to see all that destruction in such a familiar place.

      Not quite the same thing, though… and St. Louis isn’t as big as Chicago and NYC.

        Unfortunately, I’ve never seen any sort of comic, tv show, or movie set in any of the places I’ve lived, so I have yet to experience this phenomena.

        Sounds cool, though. Closest I’ve ever gotten is Miami, but that’s just cause I grew up an hour north of the place.

      This story has nothing to do with anything about the royal wedding. (Though a huge reason why I dropped my own journalism major back in 1997 is that Princess Di died my first week of college and she became Journalism 101’s entire curriculum. OH MY LORD.)

    How do you pronounce Robin’s and Roz’s surname?
