John Allison already used that plot in Bobbins, I don't think he'd repeat himself so soon.

Well there's Esther (although I don't think we'll ever see her in Bad Machinery outside of flashbacks until Giant Days ends). Everyone should read Giant Days.

Can one of the two other people on these forums who admits to reading bcb remind me what the deal with final fantasy cat Augustus is?

I vaguely recall there being a single chapter that fleshed out his character and set up his relationship with Lucy, but I don't remember what that actually was beyond both of them being in the "contemplating suicide" club.

Context: today's page has confused me.

I think that was kind of it. He hit on Daisy at one point and she rejected him and told him she's not the right person to deal with other people's weird brain problems :ironicat:

He and Lucy never really interacted much besides quipping about how totally not into each other they were besides that and the suicide thing, so the past couple pages confused me too because I never realized they were any closer than that. According to the comments on their facebook page the whole "why are you still here" bit is because he was in the same grade as Tess and should have graduated already, which I had completely forgotten about, so that part makes sense at least. I'm pretty sure he's never actually interacted with any of the cast besides Lucy, Daisy, and Abbey who hates him, but Abbey's got brain problems and hates anyone who gets too close to things he thinks are his and includes people as things under that clause.

Either way I'm pretty sure it's been like a couple years since he's even appeared and he was barely relevant then but I guess he's actually a main character? The facebook comment section brought up another good point about how her "friends" were the reason she tried to kill herself and ended up leaving in the first place, and in a weird way the dude whose only things in common with her are that their lives/friends suck and they both attempted suicide is kind of the only person around she can actually be real with.

Some evil whim led me to pick up BCB the other day. So, uh, basically every single character is the shambling wreckage of a human being animal person, huh? :shepface:

Hey, Morbi, update your front page, man. It still says your latest update was on the 2nd.

Also, I just noticed that the red handkerchief is Lily's. I wonder if that'll become an important detail later?

Lily's statement isn't crazy, as you suggest. She's a child dealing with some heavy poo poo and like a lot of children she has A) zero filter and B) can articulate herself about as well as a brick through a window.

Still damned sad though.

I don't think Erin was ever properly 18. She skipped those years by being queen of hell.

I'm more concerned that infernal influence has left its mark as a big floppy horse costume.

Gummy Bear Heaven ... It's where I go when the world is too mean.
I woke up this morning to some cryptic tweets from someone I didn't recognize.

https://mobile.twitter.com/basicincomepls

Looks like Basic Income Please has updated Pictures For Sad Children.

http://picturesforsadchildren.com/

I had been wondering what happened to them and if they were okay.

I've long been fascinated with how the alt-right develops elaborate and obscure dog whistles to try to communicate their meaning without having to say it out loud
Stepan Andreyevich Bandera being the most prominent example of that
I don't think The Artist Currently Known as Basic Income Please is ever really going to be 'okay'.

But that was kind of what made their comics so interesting though.

They were in a dark place last I heard (right after the book burning) and thought the worst had happened. "Okay" is relative.

They did make me question basic assumptions about the relationship between artists and patrons, among other things, at least.

Yeah! She's working on a video game, so it updates like once a month.

I think I waited for the second Dead Winter book longer than I waited for the Pictures For Sad Children book.

Not as long as I've been waiting for Nicholas Gurewitch's upcoming book...

Same, coincidentally.

I'm happy to leave it forgotten until Alison gets done with the game. It's one of only three webcomics I've ever bought in print (so far) and I'd love to see it finished. I don't want to kill my interest by actively waiting though.

There are these people called "agents" who act as a buffer between strange people and people who are willing to pay for the products of strange people. However, some people are strange enough to not want help, and some decide that trying to make money is somehow bad.
