[[The Verse]] which is the setting of five [[Web Comic]] series by David Willis: ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20131124182208/http://www.itswalky.com/d/19970908.html Roomies!]'', ''[http://www.itswalky.com It's Walky!]'', ''[http://www.shortpacked.com Shortpacked!]'' (which now [[Shortpacked|has its own page]]), ''[http://www.itswalky.com Joyce And Walky!]'' and ''[http://www.dumbingofage.com/ Dumbing of Age]'' ([[Dumbing of Age|which also has its own page]]).
''Roomies!'' began in 1997 as a [[Slice of Life]] webcomic concerning the adventures of Danny Wilcox, [[Ordinary High School Student|Ordinary College Student]], and his [[Kavorka Man]] roommate Joe Rosenthal. Other important characters included Danny's love interest Jennifer "Billie" Billingsworth, his mixed-race [[Broken Bird]] ex-girlfriend Sal Walters, and the [[Virginity Makes You Stupid|sheltered]], [[Yandere|semi-well-adjusted]] Joyce Brown. The strip gradually developed both [[Cerebus Syndrome]] and a love for theatrics, culminating in Joe and Joyce being kidnapped by aliens.
