Roomies! was a webcomic by David Willis starring the college adventures of two roommates, Danny and Joe. It ran from September 8, 1997 to December 20, 1999. Originally a daily comic published in the Indiana University student newspaper, the Indiana Daily Student, it was turned into a web comic in early 1999. It is a mix of daily gag strips and short stories, with the stories drifting towards more serious topics as the comic progressed.

"Roomies!" was succeeded by It's Walky!, a science fiction adventure comedy comic set in the same universe. The main cast of "It's Walky!" included some continuing characters from "Roomies!"—in particular Joyce, Danny's former stalker—and by the end most of the major characters from "Roomies!" had made appearances.

More recently, after he finished It's Walky!, David Willis restarted "Roomies!" as a daily gag strip, appearing on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It was also published as part of the Keenspot comic page in the Turlock, California newspaper, the "Turlock Journal". "Roomies!" ended again on May 19, 2005, when David Willis left Keenspot to found Blank Label Comics.

As of this writing the aforementioned character Joyce from "Roomies!" currently features in Willis' current comic "Joyce and Walky" at the same website, along with Walky of It's Walky!. Further characters from "It's Walky!" feature in Willis' comic Shortpacked.
