    Roz is Robin’s sister. Robin’s a senator, apparently. And yet Roz has no issue going outside.

    …By the way, what was Robin’s platform in this world that got her elected? The same as last time?

      He’s not at the same point of character development we left off at the end of It’s Walky, where he had seemed to start being okay with not being every woman’s desire and dream. In fact going by Shortpacked, he’s digressed woefully. This Joe? Starting off the same way, obviously.
