''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. |
