Joyce and Walky

Right-o, so today's comic is another one of my new favorites: Joyce and Walky!.  I started reading this one shortly after finishing the Shortpacked archive, because they're both by the same artist, David Willis.  The strip Joyce and Walky started out as "Roomies", a comic about a college freshmen named Danny and his friend Joe.  We soon meet Joyce, and many other characters including the Aliens.  After the strip takes some unexpected turns the Aliens take a much larger role, and Joyce becomes the new main character.  After a while we meet David Walkerton, and the comic becomes "It's Walky".  Now all the main characters are part of an organization called SEMME dedicated to destroying the Aliens, and eventually the strip becomes "Joyce and Walky".  Also a couple characters are also characters in "Shortpacked".  Confused?  Try the Walkypedia, located on the side bar of both Shortpacked and Joyce and Walky.  This is a good one.
