Very forward-thinking of Mrs Clovis to account for new advances in fornication technology, even if she doesn't understand them

 John A posted:Chase and Status! I think gripping the arms of an armchair while trying to fight off your personal demons is a David Milch thing. I’ve been re-watching NYPD Blue on Disney+ but eight seasons in I don’t think I’ve reached the evocation of this particular act yet. Or it could be from literally any other gritty police drama I have watched. I seem to have watched a lot of them.

 John A posted:Who’s your favourite sorcerous figure on-stage at Witchfork x Oggy Oggy? I know there are a lot of Endora Rahm and Debra Blight fans, but like everyone else, I’m a huge Sorrel fan. I am very sorry to have to disappoint you and say that Sorrel doesn’t appear at any further point in this story. Let’s hope the “Maven of the Craven” manifests in a future arc.

 John A posted:Looks like a piece of vintage Rotastak there, bit of class. I always thought Rotastak was a bit tight on size for a proper hamster. Fine for a little one. But that was the 1990s. Perhaps they’ve got bigger. Like cars have. Aren’t cars BIG these days? And don’t policemen look young?

 John A posted:I had a great time reading about Victorian seances. Nobody could be bothered with this stuff now. Victorian society is a hotbed of pastimes from an era before pissing your brief candle away on gentle pursuits had been truly mastered. Lost arts in their hundreds. All that remains is Backgammon and I bet no one remembers how to play it.

It is endearing that even though everything Maggie does somehow annoys Mrs Clovis, they have become legit close.

Hello Allisonverse thread! I've been posting Scary-Go-Round over in the Newspaper Comics thread (since Bad Machinery and Steeple get posted there as well), doing 3-4 strips per day so people can read through the origins of Tackleford start to finish. Saoshyant PMed me and asked if I would mind posting it here as well, and I thought that would be an excellent idea. For people who have read SGR before, we've just finished the arc that introduces Natalie. If you haven't read SGR before, or you have and you want to catch up, here's a link to my posts in the other thread, starting with the very first SGR strip: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=4020900&userid=182533&perpage=40&pagenumber=2#post533850809 I'm trying to keep the pacing as sane as possible without absolutely flooding threads with SGR, particularly because we've entered the period where Allison wasn't 100% sure whether or not he wanted to stick with 4 panels per day or 6. Once we get to the point where he settles on 6, I'll probably scale it back to 3 strips a day. At that pace we'll get through the entire run in about a year and a half. Starting tomorrow: Amy gets a job!

I guess we'll find out soon, as Allison just sent out a newsletter with this important note:John A posted:Steeple has continued throughout 2023, building towards what will likely be the final chapter, issue 20. Issue 18 just wrapped up Two issues to go if this is the plan.
