Including Roomies!, he has five webcomics series under his belt, such as the sci-fi drama It’s Walky!, its more domestic sequel Joyce and Walky!, Shortpacked!, a look at action figures and pop culture, and Dumbing of Age, a story about college freshman. In 2005, he and other leading cartoonists formed the webcomics collective Blank Label Comics.
Raised in La Porte, Indiana, David Willis graduated from the Illinois Institute of Art in Schaumburg, Illinois with a Bachelor in Fine Arts. After college, he escaped the frighteningly-empty cornfields and hicks of Indiana to the frighteningly-empty cornfields and hicks of Ohio.
David Willis currently resides with his wife Maggie in Columbus, Ohio, where he surrounds himself with more Transformers toys than he can bother to count.

It really, really, is a bummer to watch a webcomic you've read for a decade turn into absolute garbage.
What once was a fun and whimsical daily slice of life has become an incoherent blend of unhealthy relationships portrayed as fine and good mixed with Looney Tunes logic and a complete and utter lack of consistency. A lot of unintentional racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia is coming through rampantly. It's just... bad.
The worst part is the pushback from the author and his sycophantic maniac "mod", making sure that no one ever gives the writer valid feedback that could help.
Normally I would say pacing isn't relevant here, but by now, even in a book format, this has become a story that goes nowhere and does nothing and takes forever to do so.
It genuinely sucks when a part of your day has devolved into nothing more than a hatesink. I stopped reading this comic because of the was the teargas wedding was handled. If the author can't grow some skin and take feedback at this point in their career, they never will, so I'm out.
