Some hilarious shenanigans here! This strip debuts Shawn’s level-headed roommate and comic foil Graham, a Playstation fanboy and voice of reason to counteract Shawn’s goofier tendencies. Not much is known about the origin of Graham’s character, but he seems to be based on Shawn’s college roommate Howie, one of the few people Shawn has publicly spoken of in a positive light. It is unknown whether they are still in contact, but it is known that Shawn has almost exclusively lived alone since Red Ring started. Either way, Graham is a very important character in Red Ring lore, and its great to see his first appearance!

As for his PS4 shirt, what can I say? Shawn was always looking toward the future!
