Headache no one needs is a pretty good description of Shelley, all things considered.

I wonder if it is just a coincidence that Shelley moves back to Tackleford just after Erin moves to London. Might be some of that hell magic keeping them separated.

Or, more likely, a proper meeting between the Winter sisters is something John Allison is not willing to tackle for now.

I always had a feeling, from reading old Bobbins, that Riley is supposed to be a dead ringer for the Icelandic girl who cheated on Tim at the end of that comic.

I am kind of disappointed that we aren't getting rambling in-character reviews of the albums like in past years, I always dug those.

Bah, the last time John Allison killed Shelley it didn't stick. I think Jeff Rowland of WIGU et all knows what's going on.

I just realised I've been reading this stuff since Bobbins the first time around. :aaa: I'm feeling my age.

There was also the time she was shot up by the Hell's Angels and hung out in the afterlife with Ryan's French ex (you know, the one murdered with a terrorist orangutan by the church group of those ladies who run Amy's rival store) until getting bored of it. Damned if I can find the link to that story.

Been here since the Illustrator days of Scary Go Round, feeling old too.

Dark Esther saves the Boy with black magick, generating hype for the Giant Days comic coming soon.

Fake Edit: Meeting Hellrin does actually sound reasonable, she showed up in the "Happy Festive Season" and the album chart, and this story did begin by making clear her human half became the Erin we've known these last few years.

Oh hey, looks like the universe didn't end after all :gbsmith:

I am quite sure Allison released that statement about wrapping up the Tackleverse in the middle of this storyline in order to keep us tense with the very real possibility of all characters being eaten by a dimensional vortex.

So wait--was the being done with Bobbins thing specifically being done with the people prominent in this last story arc, and we'll still see the SGR crew from time to time? Or is Tackleford being abandoned entirely?

Next story is Charllote and Shauna, so the former. We'll probably catch glimpses of their lives here and there.

kinda hard to sympathize with the protagonists here when they started it with the tossing the selfie stick in the sea

Tossing the selfie-stick into the sea was the only sensible option, a less restrained individual would have stuck that up the kid's rear end and out of his throat.

Poor Ryan looks so bewildered by Shelley's whimsy.

Regarding Daz's response to finding out what Shauna did, I think it'll probably end up in him cleaning out Amy's shop and trying to frame her for the crime.

Actually... Yeah, that makes sense. Amy is supposed to be rich by now and he might very well get enough to pay his debt to Dixon from the burglary.

It'd be funny if the solution involved Shauna pointing out there was a law change so he can't do that anymore. (But I guess he's an illegal lender? Do we know for sure?)

Yeah, I'd say we can be pretty sure about his being an illegal operation.

Gosh, I am really not feeling Destroy History, specially since it breaks the pacing of Bad Machinery. Can't complain that much though, since Allison keeps to his daily schedule like a professional.

Uh... I missed the poll, what Bobbins' character are we getting?

To be fair the question was between more Destroy History or a Desmond story and Destroy History has been pretty rubbish.

If you've been reading John A's Twitter you'd know that he's planning a spin-off on Erin taking over hell.

I guess he wants to write something wildly different for a change of pace. Good on him, but it will be tough having the Winters' sisters as main characters in the comic and weekend feature.

Giant Days is set in the year after the end of Scary Go Round, so that puts it about two years before the start of Bad Machinery.

A disturbing thought as I was catching up with this week's comics... Wasn't Charlotte's sister the age the kids are now when she began to date then late-twenties Ryan?
