Gonna be honest, I don't have much high hopes of Steeple ending all of its dangling plot hooks in a satisfactory manner. There's Maggie's Dad planning some poo poo, Magus Tom trapping Rev's merfold-fied friend in a dungeon for something, Brian being back to a regular werewolf, the Church apparently being shut down because of the old woman snitching on what Billie did, whoever these Extreme Freaks are, and now this murder mystery with Mrs. Clovis. There's just too much going on and not enough pages to give it any focus.

I'm guessing the plan is to "end" Steeple, but not worry about loose threads just like he doesn't worry about losing his favorite characters when he ends their comics. All will be dissolved into the John Allison-verse.

Scary Go Round (April 7-8, 2005)  That's it for Bulgaria! This next arc is one I quite like, and in my opinion it's the start of a more coherent meta-narrative arc for SGR, as it has a significant impact on the rest of the run.

I wonder who Billie and Maggie see in the shop. Bob Crowley is an old Bobbinsverse character who appeared in several Scary-Go-Round stories, but he's never shown up in Steeple. I figure either a) Maggie and/or Billie had some sort of unpleasant altercation with Crowley "off-panel", or b) the store is only named after Crowley and someone else is inside, either Maggie's father or the hipster witches.

Hint: Maggie's dad is called Robert, too. She refers to him sarcastically as "Bob" in more than one occasion. Also, he's (supposedly) turning over a new leaf. It may be a joint business with a certain other Bob... Crowley.

I wonder how Bob Crowley would hold up if he wound up appearing in modern-day Steeple.

So Allison posted a corrected version of today's Steeple comic.John Allison posted:EDIT: For some reason I wrote “CROWLEY” not “WARREN” on the shop. None of my friends who see the comic early, or indeed the Patreon readers, spotted this and pointed it out! Bob Crowley is an old character from Scary Go Round. What a prize I am. This has now been corrected.

Still prefer my theory that it's a joint venture between both Roberts.
