Some Guy TT posted:Oh yeah, I had another question. Which part of Jack's plan in Bad Machinery is supposed to be a rip-off of Harry Potter? Because I don't remember anyone using a depressed ghost to fight against joy sucking monsters in Harry Potter. I remember Moaning Myrtle, and I remember the Dementors, but did they have a fight at some point and I just forgot about it or what? Throwing Todd Baxter at the joy sucking monster is sort of a reverse Patronus, but yeah the actual connection escapes me at the moment.

Bad Machinery    I'm no style expert, but I'm 100% certain only Lottie could carry off that outfit in the last 2 strips. Anyone else would look ridiculous.

My recollection was that story never intersected with Bad Machinery and Erin never shows up again in BM?, but I can also see how blathering about stuff that happens outside the strip could be, uh, tedious to people who never read scary-go-round or new bobbins.

Johnny Walker posted:Maybe it's just me, but having just the first and last panels sepia-toned makes it feel like those are flashbacks while what happens in the middle is current. It's not just you. The colorist is getting it wrong. Every panel of these flashback strips should be in sepia. I'm out of the Gasoline Alley strips for the moment. Will try to get some more together over the weekend. King Aroo (October 17, 1952)  Wash Tubbs (August 4, 1930)  Barney Google (September 3, 1923)  Alley Oop (December 3, 1934)  Oaky Doaks (November 28, 1935)  Dickie Dare (January 11, 1934)  Bringing Up Father (May 14, 1940)  Krazy Kat (May 12, 1936)  Polly and Her Pals (May 13, 1937)

Well, the girls do play a part in it. Also Erin does show up at the end of The Severed Alliance, but I was more talking about how that's a pretty significant moment of Into The Woods, even if it's cropped. I'll but putting in links to those stories where they're appropriate. The first is New Bobbins comes up basically after the end of the next case. I don't mind broad strokes discussion, but let's avoid spoiling those stories for people who might want to read them when the time's right.

I am really, really hoping the use of the name "Golden Claw" means they're using Jeff Parker's take on the character from Agents of Atlas, as opposed to literally any other take.

Reddick seems too busy writing the blandest romances possible to do a tribute for someone who never got a Funko Pop, but I have this terrible vision of Zakour trying to make an office magic "no mouths but must scream" joke for Working Daze and oh god

Why is Sally Forth doing a Pynchon riff, though? Seems random unless I missed something or it'll become significant later
