Shortpacked!

Shortpacked! is the fourth and final Walkyverse comic by David Willis. The comic alternates between following the lives of the employees of the titular Shortpacked! store, and standalone comics about popular culture with a strong emphasis on toys.

Shortpacked! 1.0

Shortpacked! began life as a gag-a-week comic revolving around David Willis' life and whatever toy jokes he could come up with. After the end of It's Walky!, Shortpacked! was rebooted and its archives deleted when it moved its hosting from Keenspot to Willis' own Blank Label comics imprint. It ran from January 26, 2003 to April 15, 2004.

Shortpacked! 2.0

The revamped Shortpacked! started in 2005, and follows new chararacters Ethan Siegal, Amber O'Malley, Ninja Rick, and Ronald Reagan as employees at Shortpacked!, a store run by Galasso, an eccentric megalomaniac with plans for global conquest. Joining the cast from Willis' previous comic It's Walky are former SEMME agents Robin DeSanto and - although he is supposed to be dead - Mike Warner.
