John Allison posted:It's my birthday today. And to my horror, I find that it's also Desmond Fishman's birthday. I genuinely had no idea this was the case. Here's his first appearance, on October 20th, 2006. Oh sure, sure. I think the Mystery of the Recurring Fishman is now solved.

Once, young Johnny Allison was bitten by a terrible character. Now, when the moon is full...

Naw, this is just reintroducing Des so he can come back and save his mate Daz from the loan shark. Daz will trade Des to Si, and Si can use him for collecting deadbeat loans on the basis that he is extremely annoying and creepy. Everybody wins.

And following on from The Further Adventures of Desmond Fishman we appear to have a comic about public pools.

Pretty sure this is one of the other storylines Allison had floating around when asking what to choose for New Year's content: "more Bobbins, but Tim Jones dies".

Do people like Bobbins? Do you need to have read it from the beginning to get it? I've always skimmed over Bobbins weekends. Destroy History is okay though.

Oh, what a surprise, the Desmond Fishman story was bad and pointless, much like the character. I'd have preferred for Destroy History to continue.

Esme posted:Do people like Bobbins? Do you need to have read it from the beginning to get it? I've always skimmed over Bobbins weekends. New Bobbins started off as a joke of sorts; Allison once had the idea of making some new strips set in the Old Bobbins era of the late '90s/early aughts. He quickly dropped the idea, but kept the Bobbins name to focus on characters that had fallen out of focus. If you haven't read Scary Go Round, that may cut into your ability to understand New Bobbins strips since most of the cast members are legacy characters. Into the Woods was a pure New Bobbins storyline that was pretty well-received.

I haven't ever read any of the original Bobbins strips, though I went through all of Scarygoround. I liked the new bobbins strips.

New Bobbins main page Start of Into the Woods Scary Go Round (Allison needs to do some server maintenance on this one  )(old and side projects are in a box on the middle of the front page on the right side)

I'm far enjoying this story more than the last one. It's pretty mundane but it makes it so the more human.

I'm amused Lottie and Nancy Drew actually found the standard nerd that is Shauna's dad. That's a feat all right when they had absolutely no info at all.Dangerous Person posted:This irresponsible gently caress. He spends a whole week of my time panicking because he's gonna be late for his meeting but then he decides to put it off because his dick is hungry. That's good pathos. He just survived drowning and being mangled by The Grate. Cute girl shows up again. Of course that puts things into perspective.

Fangz posted:Am I the only one who doesn't trust this guy at all? Probably yeah? I mean, nothing he's saying here seems particularly inconsistent with what we already knew. Shauna's mum didn't seem to harbor any ill will towards him when Mildred tried to pump her for information, so his story seems plausible enough thus far.

Bell_ posted:It might get a bit shaky-there's still Daz's debt I'm always amazed loan sharks like get away with it in real life. You think they'd experience an "accident" of some sort sooner rather than later, considering the sort of circles they run and the people they must invariable piss off either directly or by messing with someone they know. There's still time for him to get eaten by something terrible like a hell bear, though.
