gimme the GOD drat candy posted:what are these idiots even doing now They need a way for The Nuisance and Dean to meet. The Nuisance always sits beside Claire, so she's moved to the back of the bus where there are more seats, and lured Dean in with a mix of her pixy-ish looks and bee-themed jumper. I assume the plan is to get Dean and the Nuisance talking, then leave the bus

 John A posted:Aren’t a wry neck and a torticollis the same thing? Yes. Here I am trying to recreate the phenomenon where one thing is understood as two things, almost identical, but somehow discrete from one another. The best example of this is how as a teenager I didn’t join the spoken word “misled” and the written word “misled” together. When I read “misled” I thought “my-zelled” and thought it meant, specifically, “confused”. Which is clearly what I was. This issue was genuinely resolved by my purchase for 99p of Celine Dion’s minor hit, “Misled” as a CD single, an enjoyably out-of-character voyage into new jill swing by the Canadian balladeer.

Oh, the schedule changed. Again. John A posted:Let’s come together, right now, in sweet harmony. Dean Thompson has never been happier, he’s smiling so much in panel six that he appears to be in pain. But that’s not pain, it’s ecstasy. Is it right or wrong? Try to find a place that we all belong. Be as one!

Oh, this is a neat thread. I read all of Scary Go Round and parts of Bad Machinery back in the day, but catching up since feels a little intimidating, because John Allison is a comics machine.

If you have not read Giant Days, I suggest you correct that as soon as possible, because it's honestly his best work (and is helped by having different artists). It's print only though.

Welcome, Leraika! Aside Giant Days, I suggest trying Bad Machinery (link to the first story), which features many of the characters from Scary Go Round now older plus a cast of super likeable kids that it's a delight to see them grow up over the years. Steeple's amazing, too, no back reading necessary at all, though Vol 1 is not available as a web comic instead being Dark Horse published work. Vol 2 and 3 are online, though. Leraika posted:eyeing the ks and trying to decide if I am 100 bucks invested in this endeavor You can read it digitally first. They were sold on what used to be Comixology, and are still available by a much shittier company but them's the breaks. Here's Vol 1. ~*~ A new Solver story will being on Monday. See you all there!

Scaramouche posted:Is that intro panel on the gocomics link new? I seem to remember the original just starting with Jack It was added when Allison published the first volume as a book. He added a bunch of extra pages and changed the original art in some places (which I didn't like at the time). GoComics is using the new art + panels from that edition.

I mean, I get it, it's a straightforward change but part of the charm I think was seeing how all these disparate characters came together which is spoiled a bit by this, maybe.
