Walkyverse

The Walkyverse is the setting of four Web Comic series by David Willis:

Roomies!, It's Walky!, and Joyce and Walky!, which share a page due to the interconnected nature of their narratives, and
Shortpacked! (page here), a spin-off comic from It's Walky! which is largely self-contained.

Outside the Walkyverse is the Dumbiverse, containing only Dumbing of Age (page here), an Ultimate Universe combining characters and elements from all four.

Although not quite to the same all-encompassing degree as St. Elsewhere, the Walkyverse also includes (de facto at any rate) a number of other comics largely written by friends of Willis, including (but not necessarily limited to) Melonpool, Fans, Something Positive, Girls with Slingshots, Multiplex, Questionable Content, Diesel Sweeties, Penny and Aggie, and Scary Go Round.

This trope is here because it doesn't really belong on one page:

Milestone Celebration: Willis loves him some anniversary.
- #3/2000 (It's Walky!): After being Out of Focus for ten months, we get another look at the remaining Indiana College characters.
- #5/2002 (It's Walky!): Joyce and Walky, who will become the Official Couple, spend their first night together.
- #6/2003 (limited print): A poster featuring every single character from the past six years.
- #7/2004 (It's Walky!): We get a brief cutaway to Danny and Joe that directly references their Roomies! days in the middle of a massive battle much more focused on SEMME.
- #8/2005 (Joyce and Walky!): Each paid month comes with a computer wallpaper; this month's recreates the first strip's last panel.
- #9/2006 (Joyce and Walky!): Danny and Billie move into a house together, Danny mentions the events of the first strip.
- #10/2007
  - Joyce and Walky!: The birth of Billie and Danny's daughter DJ results in a warped, stress-enduced flashback to the first strip.
  - Limited print: A poster featuring most of the major characters.
- #11/2008 (Shortpacked!): The comic homages via dialogue the first strip, the death of two major characters, a memorable speech Walky made once, and it all ends with a Roomies! Title Drop. There's also the signifigant event of the main SP! characters all moving in together.
- #12/2009 (Shortpacked!): Joyce and Walky guest appearance as they decide to have Robin authenticate their wedding.
- #13/2010 (Dumbing of Age): Dumbing of Age's first comic occurs, in order to conserve the anniversary cross-universe.
- #14/2011
  - Shortpacked!: Amber accepts Mike's wedding proposal.
  - Dumbing of Age: We get a comic on a Saturday.
- #15/2012
  - Roomies!: BringBackRoomies.com is launched, rerunning Roomies Its Walky Joyce And Walky one comic a day in "best reading order" rather than publication date, adorned with new commentary from Willis.
  - Shortpacked!: Amber and Mike get married, the vast majority of Willis's characters are in attendance.
  - Dumbing of Age: A direct homage to the first "Roomies!" comic, complete with subversion of its original punchline.
  - Limited print: Another every-character-ever poster, which simultaneously homages the massive Crisis on Infinite Earths poster and many events throughout the history of the 'verse.
