** [[spoiler:Ruth]] was nearly the one that appeared from the Soggies Portal in ''WebComic/{{Shortpacked}}'' instead of [[spoiler:Dina]], but Willis couldn't remember where 'The Last Roomies! Story Ever, Promise!' (a story arc where most of the original Roomies cast [[spoiler:visits Ruth's grave]]) came continuity wise in relation to the ending of Shortpacked, so went with [[spoiler:Dina]] instead.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** There is, somewhere on the Willis family's hard drives, a fourteen page comic of Joyce and Walky having sex, a proto-Slipshine comic, as it were. According to Willis, he drew it for his now-wife Maggie, who's quite proud that she got him to do it.
** There were nearly a few comics at the end of the 'It's Pregnancy' story arc about Carol trying to bribe Walky into giving her his scrubs so she could see her grandchild being born, but at the time It's Pregnancy was being drawn, Willis got too busy with caring for his own newborns, and by the time it was reran he had forgotten how it was supposed to end.
** Speaking of It's Pregnancy, Willis did point out that it wasn't completely autobiographical because he and Maggie had twins, while Joyce and Walky only had one. He laments the missed opportunity and notes he really should have seen this coming, given how often he writes about twins.
** [[spoiler:Ruth]] was nearly the one that appeared from the Soggies Portal in ''WebComic/{{Shortpacked}}'' instead of [[spoiler:Dina]], but Willis couldn't remember if 'The Last Roomies! Story Ever, Promise!' (a story arc where most of the original Roomies cast [[spoiler:visits Ruth's grave]]) came continuity wise in relation to the ending of Shortpacked, so went with [[spoiler:Dina]] instead.
