Well, I'm enjoying Mordawwa and I also liked Robert Cop. Allison's fun to read regardless of whatever he's doing, apparently.

Fangz posted:Yeah, I'd imagine so. I have a lot of sympathy for Allison. He clearly wants to experiment and tell different types of stories but it's hard to do that without alienating some people. Is it really that big of a departure? I mean, tonally and in terms of how it looks, it's not too far off a lot of classic SGR and two of the main characters are SGR/Bad Machinery holdovers.

I can't really speak for everyone but during SGR's run I never managed to get into it despite several attempts. It was only when we got the much less hectic Bad Machinery that I became a fan, so just because people are current fans doesn't mean "classic SGR" will hold their interest.

I felt like the last Bad Machinery case wasn't so polished so I haven't read Allison in a while.

In his spare time, Allison writes Happy Days fanfiction. This explains so much.

It ended rather abruptly. I wonder if Allison killed it off early 'cos people didn't like it so much?

He only allotted five weeks for it and, well,John Allison on Facebook posted:MORDAWWA enters its final week! I have precisely five comics to sew this story up, so I'd better get on with it! Things might get raw again! I don't know!!!

I also just read the latest Giant Days. Kind of confused with the timeline here. I had once thought that Esther's adventures in college were close to Bad Machinery days, but this Giant Days completely contradicted that view. And it makes sense when you think The Boy died aged 24 and he was the same age as Esther -- he had already gone through college, found a job at a science lab, and lapsed into depression by the time Bobbins ends. Additionally, Sarah changed a lot during Bad Machinery -- she got thinner, changed hairstyle entirely, and had a good relationship with Dr Perfect until the Scooby gang ruined it -- and, obviously, none of that can be seen here. So I guess Giant Days is happening about five or six years before the current events of Bad Machinery and the final Bobbins? Also, I would read a book by Carrot.

Giant Days is set in the year after the end of Scary Go Round, so that puts it about two years before the start of Bad Machinery.

Heh, it's a funny coincidence that Allison made a whole timeline table just as I was getting confused about this stuff. That clears it, though. I'm happy he did it too, because he's now running four different stories on the same universe but in different time periods (Mordawwa is in the future apparently), so I wasn't going to be the only confused about it.

It was nice for Esther and The Boy to get some closure in the new Giant Days. Still gonna be weird if he ever appears again though. 'Cause of the whole horse thing.

Can I just say that even though it was cheesy, I very much enjoyed Pa Winters making the joke about Erin sprouting horns. Also, Carol Winters is now maybe my new favorite of the Winters family.

The terrible thing about leaping back to new old new Bobbins is that we know how and when Rich dies, and it is not now.

Rich has notably died twice; the first time was when Holly fired him so hard he ceased to exist at the tail end of OG Bobbins. It seems that he had been dead inside for a while prior to then, anyway.

I haven't read the original Bobbins. What did Rich do that makes you all hate him so much? All I know about him is that he led that ill advised protest to save the bears in Bad Mach, and seems kind of sleezy in Bobbins. In terms of villainy he seems to be really low end by Scary go Round standards, so all the hate thrown his way confuses me.

My impression of Rich, knowing exactly as much as you do, is that he's just kind of a generally garbage person. Not quite as garbage as Desmond, but definitely needs to be thrown to the curb.

Desmond is amazingly, fantastically awful, and Rich is awful in the way that somebody you already know probably is.
