Joe Collins
When Roland Deschain and Susannah Dean first met him, he appeared to be a decrepit old man, introducing himself as Joe Collins of Odd's Lane on Tower Road. He seemed barely able to carry himself, with one bad eye, leaning himself firmly on his walking stick. Roland Deschain as depicted on the cover of The Dark Tower VII. Art by Michael Whelan . ...

He invited them into his cottage, where they talked of the Dark Tower. Roland was astonished to find out that Joe Collins had actually seen the Dark Tower and taken a polaroid of it. However, he had never gone past the edge of the Rose Field, for fear that he might be killed by it. Polaroid is the name of a type of synthetic plastic sheet which is used to polarise light. ...
Joe Collins then talked of being a small-time comedian, and inevitably was asked to perform for them, being that he had already made Roland laugh more than Eddie Dean (who had died earlier in the story arc). The old man got up from his chair very lightly, especially for someone who had a lame leg. As he continued his stand-up, he began to grow younger and younger. Eddie Dean is a fictional main character of Stephen Kings The Dark Tower series of novels. ...
Susannah found the situation becoming very strange. The old man began to lose his aged appearance and she kept hearing a cry, much like a baby's, outside somewhere. However, Roland did not notice the cry despite his usual alertness. Soon, though, Susannah accidentally slapped a sore on her top lip, and was forced to go to the bathroom much to Joe's discontent.
In the bathroom, Susannah found a letter underneath the first towel in a stack. To her surprise it was a letter from Stephen King himself. The letter gave her a hint as to why the S in ODD's LANE had been added to the sign. Soon she figured out that ODD LANE was an anagram of DANDELO.
By the time she made this connection, Roland was already laughing out of control. Dandelo was thirty years younger and holding Roland down as he continued to make Roland laugh to death. Susannah, with the help of Oy, soon brought Dandelo down, and shot him twice in the head.
Later, upon discovering the poem Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came by Robert Browning, Roland states that Dandelo must have been the 'hoary cripple' that is referred to in the beginning of the poem, in spite of the fact that it was long stated that it referred to Walter o'Dim, Roland's nemesis. Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came painted by Thomas Moran in 1859 Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came is a poem by Robert Browning, written in 1855, first published that same year in the collection entitled Men and Women. ...
Robert Browning (May 7, 1812 – December 12, 1889) was a British poet and playwright whose mastery of dramatic verse, especially dramatic monologues, made him one of the foremost Victorian poets. ...

Lippy Dandelo had a stable behind his house, in which he kept a horse named Lippy. Lippy whinnied when she saw Roland and Susannah approach. She was very old, ragged, and had holes in her coat. Later in the story, Mordred Deschain would eat Lippy, poisoning him and eventually leading to his downfall. Binomial name Equus caballus Linnaeus, 1758 The horse (Equus caballus, sometimes seen as a subspecies of the Wild Horse, Equus ferus caballus) is a large odd-toed ungulate mammal, one of ten modern species of the genus Equus. ...

Stuttering Bill Stuttering Bill is a robot (full name William D-746541-M Maintenance Robot) with many functions. He plowed Tower Road all the way up to the edge of the white lands, where the snow ended and the roses began. He gave Roland, Susannah and Patrick a ride on his plow for many miles, taking them closer to the Dark Tower.
Stuttering Bill was also the nickname of William Denborough, one of the central characters in King's novel It, suggesting that Dandelo is a similar being to that novel's villain, Pennywise. It is a horror novel by Stephen King, published in 1986. ...
