Robin hasn’t appeared in Dumbing of Age (yet). she’s a character that has appeared a lot in the other universe. Primarily in the strips It’s Walky and Shortpacked. She’s the one on the for left on the Shortpacked Banner on this site and is also David Willis’ Tiwitter Avatar (as seen on his Twitter Feed shown on the page)
This is Roz. We’ll find out more about her in the next few strips.
(Ignore these other guys! You don’t need to read anything else to understand this comic. In fact, reading the other comics I do might just increase confusion, as they’re separate universes.)
Took me far too long to read his archives. Too much to do in one run, but sleeping just made it take so much longer. Plus the cat had recently been introduced in shortpacked, so I tried doing something positive and Girls with Slingshots too. Petered out halfway through sp and didn’t read any more walky comics for months. Then I remembered that they were awesome, which is why I put so much time in in the first place, and I’ve been a regular ever since.
Truth be told he actually does an amazing job of making every comic understandable on its’ own merits, so an archive binge is actually quite unnecessary. Especially for Doa, there’s really no reason to read through the archives. You know, except for how great a read they are;)
I, for one, am loving the sameness / differentness between the universes. I started on SP about a year ago, and finally read the Walky stuff right before DOA came out. Sign that this universe is OK: Mike likes punching people.
YIPE! Not her! What the heck is she doing there anyways??? Joe’s like, ONE MORE WORD and I KILL YOU! (Oh great, now I have the I Kill You phrase from Achmed the Dead Terrorist in my head) I’d say he almost stole Mike’s look there.
Digidestined of Trust/Megaligo Ranger-Silver Dragon Knight (Tim)
Shocked that I even have watched that Achmed thing? Yeah, so am I, LOL! But I can actually do his voice, but I’m sure so can half of the rest of the population.
Ravenous tigers, angry bears, territorial elk is rutting season, africanized honey bees, army ants on the move, a gangrenous digit or limb, kidney stones, a corpse (whether you’d taken anyone to bed or not the night before)…yeah, there are definitely worse things to wake up to in the morning than an attractive young woman who apparently wakes up in good spirits.
Okay, not when she was seducing Jake, but I don’t think she’s as bad as people make her out to be. Frack, aside from THIS, we don’t know DoA Roz that well.
Nope. I like her. Especially since in this universe, she hasn’t even done anything worth getting mad over, let alone declaring her a bad person in general.
There is no reason to believe she is underage. Robin is probably older than the others in this universe as Roz is shown to be in college and Leslie is an instructor.
maybe Roz is Robin’s twin (since she’s only said Roz is younger then her), then she could be younger than Robin but still be in college, however they have shown Leslie as a young professor, so Robin may be older than everyone else like jacob said
Funny how the scorn goes to the woman, rather than the guy who would have brought her back to his place after getting rejected by someone else he intended to use, with the “justification” that it was a privilege to sleep with him.
Yeah, I remember that guy from college. At least he was clear about what he wanted. Why should a woman that does the same or accepts it from a man be judged more harshly?
I slept with a Roz once, when I was single. It was awesome. No hangups, and we both got exactly what we wanted. Another time, when I was in a relationship, a Roz thought she’d have me. I resisted, and we became friends and there was no awkwardness exactly because of her casual view of sex. I like Roz.
Eolirin, I think what zuche is implying is that if it turns out that Roz & Robin’s father (since they’re apparently full sisters, not half-sisters) turns out to be Amber’s father as well (since he seemed to out-Joe Joe back in the day) that is when zuche will be stuck on o_0 for a while.
@ Bill M. wouldn’t Robin have recognized amber’s father as hers, though, in shortpacked? i distinctly remember him barging in right after the drama tag… someone link me?
I nearly fangasmed at the last panel, thinking that danny had gone gay for joe because of Dorothy, then I realized he just couldn’t see roz and was disapointed. however, it still is Squeee! worthy. Danny/Joe Forever!!!
Just wandered over here from QC and have got to say that this is going straight into my bookmarks. Keep it up. Just try to stop using my life as a template. It’s getting a bit creepy. XD
To Roz haters for all we know she might be turned into a likable character in this universe. Of course she might even be worse then her Shortpacked version we just have to wait and see.
Well, that was inevidable. Now to see if he’s been Joeing her off and on since that obvious glance(Okay, hopefully they spoke before animal passion kicked in) in the first class, or if this is Joe rebounding.
I wouldn’t call it inevitable. The two most sexually active people I knew in university found each other too weird and tedious to even make an attempt at coitus.
Did Joe get it on with Roz, while Danny was in the room? Either Danny is a heavy sleeper, or those two were very quiet while they were getting their freak on.
So he went from trying to climb a mountain to trying to climb a step stool. Way to get your confidence back Joe. Next time I’m having trouble beating a videogame I’ll take a break to play tic tac toe.
Nah, there’s a chance you can lose tic-tac-toe. Roz is more like one of those claw machines where you play until you win. You know, the ones with candy or nickel toys in them.
Loading ...
*scream only dogs can hear*
“Yay” scream or “Ew” scream?
both
who is this person??? her appearance scares and confuses me
That is Roz, she is Robin’s younger sister. It is safe to say that she has just been Joe’d.
i will agree to her just being joe’d. she looks like she had a good time 😛
whos robin i cant eem to find her
im sorry for my dumbassness this is my first foray into the universe and havent had time to read thru the rest

For the easiest answer as to who Robin is, go over to shortpacked! right now. That is robin, and the guy with the beard is an older Joe.
In the butt maybe?
I’m not convinced that Roz just got Joe’d. I think Joe got Roz’d.
Knowing them from the Walkyverse I would have to concur, and that Joe was totally cool with that.
More like Joe has just been Roz’ed
Funny because joe wouldn’t joe robin if she was the last chick on earth
This is Roz. We’ll find out more about her in the next few strips.
(Ignore these other guys! You don’t need to read anything else to understand this comic. In fact, reading the other comics I do might just increase confusion, as they’re separate universes.)
(Hush, you other guys!)
For the record I didn’t say to read the comic, just gave info on the character, albiet one that may or may not exist in this one. 😀
ima listen to you david. seems like the best course of action lol
and the laziest, though I agree that reading his archives will cause confusion and loss of hours of your life.
Took me far too long to read his archives. Too much to do in one run, but sleeping just made it take so much longer.

David lies. I’m a devout follower of It’s Walky AND DoA, and I never get confused.
i dont think id be confused lol just seems simpler
You advocating against the causing of confusion? Who are you and what have you done to Willis!?!?!
It’s not actually Willis, someone just stole his gravatar.
WHOA D=
And thus it begins!
YIPE! Not her! What the heck is she doing there anyways??? Joe’s like, ONE MORE WORD and I KILL YOU! (Oh great, now I have the I Kill You phrase from Achmed the Dead Terrorist in my head) I’d say he almost stole Mike’s look there.
Shocked that I even have watched that Achmed thing? Yeah, so am I, LOL! But I can actually do his voice, but I’m sure so can half of the rest of the population.
the moment ii read the “i kill you” it came out in achmeds voice (thats a..c..phlegm… )
I believe she is what’s known as “Plan B”.
It suits her.
That’s Roz, Robin’s Sister.
Is it just me or did the comforter change colours in the last panel?
I think Danny continued walking and that’s Joe’s bed with the green bedding.
It did. Bed sheets as well.
Fine, I’ll shorten the name.
There are worse things to wake up to in the morning.
You sure about that?
Ravenous tigers, angry bears, territorial elk is rutting season, africanized honey bees, army ants on the move, a gangrenous digit or limb, kidney stones, a corpse (whether you’d taken anyone to bed or not the night before)…yeah, there are definitely worse things to wake up to in the morning than an attractive young woman who apparently wakes up in good spirits.
you forgot the very worst thing to wake up too…
Mike! bonus points if someone else wakes up with him too. I wonder if he could pull off danny and joe at the same time…
Like herpes. Which Joe soon will.
…I LIKE Roz. >_>
Okay, not when she was seducing Jake, but I don’t think she’s as bad as people make her out to be. Frack, aside from THIS, we don’t know DoA Roz that well.
Where’s Joe’s bruise from being Mike’d?
He must turn the other cheek for that to be visible.
if it’s only on one side “turning the other cheek” is something we can safely say he did not do.
quite so
Roz! Am I the only one who likes Roz? Mayhaps…
Nope. I like her. Especially since in this universe, she hasn’t even done anything worth getting mad over, let alone declaring her a bad person in general.
i love mikes reaction to Roz, but @ that point its definitely time for some revitalizing coffee
Mike? Where is the Mike, I see no Mike. He’s in math class right now with Walky, Joyce and Sal.
shoot, i guess that was a freudian slip (since mike is awesome), i meant danny
**double facepalm**
I find this a disturbing contrast with today’s Shortpacked, and I’m not entirely sure why.
Isn’t Roz underage in this universe? Ugh Joe, why
Roz is the same age as Joe.
They’re both college freshemen, so not really.Unless Roz fast tracked.
There is no reason to believe she is underage. Robin is probably older than the others in this universe as Roz is shown to be in college and Leslie is an instructor.
My bet is still that Robin was the roommate that Sarah got kicked out of college.
Robin – a druggie? I don’t see it, personally…at least not a pot-head: stims, mmaayybe.
cadbury cream eggs seem to have the same affect as drugs.
maybe Roz is Robin’s twin (since she’s only said Roz is younger then her), then she could be younger than Robin but still be in college, however they have shown Leslie as a young professor, so Robin may be older than everyone else like jacob said
Funny how the scorn goes to the woman, rather than the guy who would have brought her back to his place after getting rejected by someone else he intended to use, with the “justification” that it was a privilege to sleep with him.
Yeah, I remember that guy from college. At least he was clear about what he wanted. Why should a woman that does the same or accepts it from a man be judged more harshly?
I’m pretty sure the scorn isn’t there because she’s a woman, just because it’s Roz. I usually like her.
Yeah, for some reason people get bent out of shape about Roz. I’ve never disliked her. She knows what she likes and uses it to make her way in life.
We enjoy hating her, just as Joe enjoys enjoying her.
Oh, well if you guys are getting something out of hating her, then by all means hate away.
Definately has nothing to do with the situation and everything to do with it being Roz
Hey, these sluts aren’t going to shame themselves.
I don’t dislike Roz because she’s a camwhore, I hate her because she’s a terrible person.
You don’t know this Roz yet. You know someone else that looks like her and grew up with the same identity.
Maybe she has the exact same traits you found despicable elsewhere. Maybe not.
I slept with a Roz once, when I was single. It was awesome. No hangups, and we both got exactly what we wanted. Another time, when I was in a relationship, a Roz thought she’d have me. I resisted, and we became friends and there was no awkwardness exactly because of her casual view of sex. I like Roz.
I think Roz likes you too.
is Joe warning him not to go after roz or is he warning danny not to hit on him?
The second one I believe, for down that road lies Shortpacked!, where everyone is gay.
Trying to avoid the confusion of Robin in the Canada situation?
Joe rebounded after his sucky date….. Why am I not surprised?
Dunno what time it is, but Danny’s still asleep and Joe’s not dressed yet. So Roz got up before both of them.
I was going somewhere with that. Curse my insomnia-riddled mind…
No, I’m almost certain Joe got up before Roz did.
Bow chicka bow wow
Thank you, Tucker.
I don’t see what the problem is. Roz and Joe are *perfect* for each other.
they’re both whores?
Let it go, Mr. Miller.
I’m not being sexist, if that is what you’re claiming, I’m just saying that Roz is a slut, and Joe is a man-whore which is a male slut.
Oh dear…Joe got Roz’d…. Poor Joe….
He got Roz’d in the Joe.
Am I doing it right?
Joe got Roz’d with his penis…what?
Joe got Roz’d with her vagina.
Roz. Only child. Likes stripping on camera and fucking people. Christian imbeciles a specialty.
Oh, she’s not an only child!
This is entirely offtopic, but didn’t your username used to have your last name as well? Or am I just going mad?
I thought that too, hmmm does your shortpacked! username have your last name?
So help me, if she’s one of Amber’s half-sisters, my brain is going to walk out on me for a few days.
Robin is her sister.
Eolirin, I think what zuche is implying is that if it turns out that Roz & Robin’s father (since they’re apparently full sisters, not half-sisters) turns out to be Amber’s father as well (since he seemed to out-Joe Joe back in the day) that is when zuche will be stuck on o_0 for a while.
@ Bill M. wouldn’t Robin have recognized amber’s father as hers, though, in shortpacked? i distinctly remember him barging in right after the drama tag… someone link me?
Amber and Robin are not related in any universe. 🙂
I nearly fangasmed at the last panel, thinking that danny had gone gay for joe because of Dorothy, then I realized he just couldn’t see roz and was disapointed. however, it still is Squeee! worthy. Danny/Joe Forever!!!
Wow. Joe works fast.
Said the actress to the bishop.
Also, I just realised that the theory someone had that DOA!Joe was a virgin protesting too much is now officially Not True.
…
STOP FOLLOWING ME TRISTAN JONES!
ON that note, Roz is getting screentime? This could get odd.
You watching Corrie in Canada by any chance?
Yup, I was wrong about Joe the virgin. Oh, well, I’m over it.
It took almost 2 days! With Roz! That’s taking it slow for the two of them!
Just wandered over here from QC and have got to say that this is going straight into my bookmarks. Keep it up. Just try to stop using my life as a template. It’s getting a bit creepy. XD
Wait, how many personalities do you have?
Or did you have a specific character in mind?
Well… that is…different.
And here I thought I went to the Shortpacked! site instead
It’s easy to keep straight if you remember that DoA Joe is in college, and Shortpacked! Joe has an ugly, cry-for-help beard.
The gate-keeper and the key-master have come together. Beware the coming of Gozer.
There is no Dana. Only Roz.
To Roz haters for all we know she might be turned into a likable character in this universe. Of course she might even be worse then her Shortpacked version we just have to wait and see.
am i the only who noticed the bedding changed colors?
must be… symbolism…
Not symbolism, different bed.
It’s not symbolism it’s … foreshadowing.
Well, that was inevidable. Now to see if he’s been Joeing her off and on since that obvious glance(Okay, hopefully they spoke before animal passion kicked in) in the first class, or if this is Joe rebounding.
I wouldn’t call it inevitable. The two most sexually active people I knew in university found each other too weird and tedious to even make an attempt at coitus.
Did Joe get it on with Roz, while Danny was in the room? Either Danny is a heavy sleeper, or those two were very quiet while they were getting their freak on.
Welcome to college.
my worst fear is that singularikitty, seeing Roz just brings back the tears of that night.
…that singularikitty will not exist in this universe, …
totally effed that up.
Haha, looks like Joe recovered from his Date with Joyce nicely.
There’s Roz.
Dare I hope there may be Robin eventually?
Oh man I’ve been wanting this to happen. Or with Jacob. One of the two.
So he went from trying to climb a mountain to trying to climb a step stool. Way to get your confidence back Joe. Next time I’m having trouble beating a videogame I’ll take a break to play tic tac toe.
Oh snap.
Nah, there’s a chance you can lose tic-tac-toe. Roz is more like one of those claw machines where you play until you win. You know, the ones with candy or nickel toys in them.
I take it either Danny is a heavy sleeper or they are pretty quiet.
I vote for option A…I just can’t see Roz as the quiet type. (And Danny clearly wakes up slowly, at least.)
So Roz is still the community bicycle of the group. Good to know. And damn Danny, I’m impressed by how deep he sleeps.
I’m assuming some time has passed since Joe doesn’t have a bruise anymore.
It was on his other cheek.
Did Joe get Roz’d or did Roz get Joed? I am confused here.
They both got Roe’d?
Okay, now that made me laugh.
Oh snap! It was bound to happen.
Danny maybe onto something, would a female Joe = a Roz lookalike?
some things never change.
Yeah, Danny went down that road alright.
Yeah, Danny is way down that road.
