My reaction exactly. I know Willis said that most of the roommates were foils for each other, but still, Mary and Roz. Wow. Like to know what their conversations today have been like.
Actually, foils don’t have to be opposites, they just have to be characters who accentuate each other’s qualities (good or bad) by the comparison. Like how applying a bit of foil to the back of a gemstone makes it look brighter. With Dina and Amber, it’s their similarities that make the differences more apparent – either on her own would just be the girl who doesn’t go out much, but putting them together really makes the difference between Dina’s shyness and Amber’s reclusiveness obvious.
It could be that Mary is is also liberated about her body, but prefers to be private about it. Being naked in the dorm room, but not liking it when someone barges in on her.
Back in IW, she was the leader of Squad 48, aka, the team that had orgies with Joe. She was also a bi-sexual.
Here, in DOA, she has shown up only once, back on the first day in the floor meeting. Willis recently did some stuff involving minor characters on his Tumblr, including her, giving us more information.
Aha. Clarification appreciated. (I would say I still think Dorothy’s definition is a bit off, but this is Roz we’re talking about. Based on what we’ve seen so far, I’m not sure she needs downtime.)
Which is quite funny, because 3 pm can sometimes mean “person is in class.” So Dorothy’s still catching up on that “not everyone has the same schedule” idea college tends to teach. XD
I’m calling a fowl! Not that Dorothy or this sex scandal news story aren’t interesting, but given the choice between seeing what happens to the girl trapped in the closet of the borderline psychopath who been tormenting her for two days and stealing her stuff or seeing what Dorothy is up to….FOWL!
And now I’m Ethan! Just when my slightly peeved looking Jason avatar would have really come in handy I get transmogrified into friendly Ethan! FOWL, damnit!
Because I felt a momentary lapse in memory, whatever happened to Roz’s brother after her accident in Roomies? I know he started to run away from danny but after that, it’s sketchy. Was he the dude that was always at a computer and got a mullet?
In my general opinion there are two things that are potentially wrong with not being dressed by 3pm 1) for me, my freshman year that was the height of my depression, where I was sleeping all day and could potentially not be up/dressed as late as 5 pm 2) people will assume you should be dressed and if you don’t have automatically locking doors, barge in on you. If these two problems don’t apply to you then right on man.

Mary + Roz = WOW
My reaction exactly. I know Willis said that most of the roommates were foils for each other, but still, Mary and Roz. Wow. Like to know what their conversations today have been like.
“Why would you DO that?!”
“Why WOULDN’T I do it?”
doesnt really work for the dina/amber situation though. as Willis said, they’re enablers for each other
Like they said, MOST, not all, are foils. Dina/Amber was basically said to be the exception.
This also raises the question who on the campus decides the room arrangements.
Some puppet master she must be.
I like to think Mike arranged the roommates somehow. Seems like something he’d do…

Or she’s just lazy.
‘Ey, your body, your fault.
i bet that survey is very much in favor of that option
I can see why they’re roommates. 🙂
Damn, all these people keep interrupting my fapping session – err, uh… whatever the female equivalent is!
Shlick.
The female equivalent is shlicking, and you lock your door while you do it.
I should hope the locked door isn’t a distinction…
You read that comic too huh?
It’s fun when someone walks into that though! Well, depending on who it is.
“Wanking” is reasonably gender neutral.
Who’s the Indianapolis star?
I think its a team. Maybe they play footbasket or something.
holy smokes new gravatar! Who got added?! I’m Mry now o.o
Daisy and Mandy. Mandy was yesterday/2 days ago, Daisy was today/yesterday.
Who’s Mandy?
Back in IW, she was the leader of Squad 48, aka, the team that had orgies with Joe. She was also a bi-sexual.
Here, in DOA, she has shown up only once, back on the first day in the floor meeting. Willis recently did some stuff involving minor characters on his Tumblr, including her, giving us more information.
Or a newspaper run by an elderly gentleman who used to be a professional Ronald Reagan lookalike?
But it begs the question, does Ronnie exists in this continuity?
watch it be walter mondale
He was President of the United States in the Eighties. Right now he’s in the ground.
He’s currently in peace talks with the Mole-People.
Thanks for clearing that up.
Yea!
So his Ronald Reagan gay in this universe?
XD I still say the dean of the university should be a Ronnie look-alike.
Nah, anyone paired with Ronnie nowadays would be a necrophiliac.
It’s a newspaper, like the New York Times, but for Indiana.
What does Mary’s shirt say?
STA… could be STAR something.
STARK NAKED???
Not anymore she isn’t.
I might just buy that shirt for the irony alone.
Sheesh, Dorothy. Exhibitionist =/= willing to leave your dorm room open so that anyone can walk in and steal stuff.
She’s not expecting it to be open. She’s expecting her knocks to be answered.
Aha. Clarification appreciated. (I would say I still think Dorothy’s definition is a bit off, but this is Roz we’re talking about. Based on what we’ve seen so far, I’m not sure she needs downtime.)
Which is quite funny, because 3 pm can sometimes mean “person is in class.” So Dorothy’s still catching up on that “not everyone has the same schedule” idea college tends to teach. XD
Wait… Roz’s roommate… naked at 3pm…?
Now whyyy miiight thaaat beee…
Well it’d be awkward if she didn’t wait for Roz to leave before watching the video again.
Your currently Daisy avatar makes this comment all the better.
A cam-whore and a closet nudist sharing a room together… now that is what I call an interesting pair.
So do they got a live feed? :p
Quite possibly!
I thought it was a start of a joke.
Sorry, it was more of an observation than humour this time.
Roz Does Indianapolis?
I’m guessing it’s going to be the sequel to ‘Roz Does College’ and ‘Roz Does the Constituency’.
Not to mention “Roz does Springfield”.
Does that mean that “Roz does America” comes later?
It comes after “Roz Does California”. It’s a very big movie.
but before ‘Roz Does Congress’.
But will Roz do Alaska?
No that is Sarah’s job.
They all sound much more exciting than her first, “Roz does her taxes”
Admitedly she was naked during the whole movie.
Is this a meme? Did I start a meme?
That would make an interesting survey to run in the school’s paper…
“What percentage of college students think I should be dressed by 3pm?”
Yay, I’m Ethan now!
Did we reshuffle?
Lots of nudity between the 2 comics recently. Not complaining, just pointing it out. As it’s likely been done ad nauseum since friday.
To quote Willis’ Twitter; “You know you’re drawing naked people when one of your top referrers is “hidemyass.com.””
Not that it’s all that hard to tell in the first place. How often does a cartoonist find himself saying, “Whoops, I forgot to draw the clothes?”
If they have a history of drawing mostly naked and/or sex acts, it can be a force of habit.
Yes we did. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go act awkward and throw toys at girls while eating a metric ton of nuggets.
Testing Gravatar. Did my custom get through?
Yes, it finally did! Condom Hat is go!
Personally, I have to wonder why everyone ELSE is dressed by 3 pm. I mean, what is this, some kind of nun factory?
I know.
A busy day for me means I put on pants.
No kidding! Every day should be no-pants day.
Yeah why bother getting dressed unless you’re going outside?! Especially in summer when it gets really hot.
Hmm, this inspires me.
Alright everyone, survey time:
What time of day is the ideal time for getting dressed?
When you need to go outside.
I second this.
I go outside in my underwear sometimes.
And sometimes not even then.
It is the perfect time to properly get dressed.
I generally get dressed about 9:15 PM (but then, I work nights and have to be at work by 10PM)
After I wake up and took a bath which always around 7AM.
I’m kind of busy pondering that other survey, if you know what I mean.
She surveys in the nude to get more people willing to fill in the questionares.
When you unlock your door.
What is the important lesson in this particular story arc? Be dressed by 3 PM.
She had wristbands on.
Woah, I’m Joyce now.
And if you aren’t, keep your door locked.
mary seems a bit less uptight but still a bit snooty in this comic…
I’m calling a fowl! Not that Dorothy or this sex scandal news story aren’t interesting, but given the choice between seeing what happens to the girl trapped in the closet of the borderline psychopath who been tormenting her for two days and stealing her stuff or seeing what Dorothy is up to….FOWL!
Also, Mary has clothes on. 10 YARD PENALTY!
And now I’m Ethan! Just when my slightly peeved looking Jason avatar would have really come in handy I get transmogrified into friendly Ethan! FOWL, damnit!

Dude! Giving nothri the bird like that was NOT cool!
Good night everybody!
Yes he indeed a duck or maybe a flamingo.
I’m getting this mental image of Nothri, played by Ethan Siegal, standing in a phone booth phoning up a pigeon.
aww, and now Billie fans will be double sad face because now she needs 2 more strips to beat Dorothy
I should have gone to college for Journalism! Just so I could meet so many interesting people when doing interviews.
Woohoo I’m Roz!
Because I felt a momentary lapse in memory, whatever happened to Roz’s brother after her accident in Roomies? I know he started to run away from danny but after that, it’s sketchy. Was he the dude that was always at a computer and got a mullet?
On second thought, I think it was Mary. I dunno
You’re thinking of Ruth, and no. Nobody knows what happened to Howard, except that he stowed away on Ultra Car during the Martian Invasion.

But Mary wasn’t naked…unless photoshop has anything to to say about it.
