SGR Mysteries: Does Her even exist or is it just everyone misremembering the name of THAT?

The rugby teacher in the last panel of today's comic shows up again in Scary Go Round when Ryan goes to the afterlife.

Haha, I can't believe I recognized a Scary Go Round character who was in like three pages in 2006 and didn't realize that was Ole Knotty. :v:

I remember reading a comment John Allison made in one of the print books of Scary Go Round that the reason he packed Tim off to Wales was because he's far too good at resolving the plot. If Tim becomes aware of shenanigans going down in Tackleford then he tends to get things sorted out pretty quick. That's why he was always going off to conventions or spending time mayoring, as ways to keep him out of the main story.

And for no particular reason, my favourite Ryan moment. I can't believe it's been over fifteen years since this one.

Tell us more about the exciting year 2018. :allears:

Anyway Expecting to Fly is so, so good and so, so sad. :smith:

Would... would a kid actually get expelled for something that is undoubtedly an accident? Like, even Ol Knotty the teacher here doesn't seem inclined towards vindictiveness at all, he likes these kids.

The development works really well in this story, don't get me wrong -- unreasonably reactionary adults fit easily within my suspension of disbelief, especially in the fantastical SGR universe. But in real life, the school system would be more understanding, right? How inclined to expel are typical british schools?

Well, creating some kind of insane projectile-launching fire contraption on school grounds is probably frowned upon by the people above Knotty's head.

This is all super sad, but at least we know that in the end things did work out for Ryan and now he's a cool teacher. :unsmith:

Provided some mystery teens are on hand to repair the timeline, anyway.

Back in the SGR years I picked up more than a few albums based on Shelley's descriptions. :v:

I'm mostly sad about the Bad Machinery gang, to be honest. Now their comic is double-canceled. :smith:

Tim and Shelley will give birth to a very sensible child who will raise them to be competent adults.

This is totally the glorious future stretching out ahead of them.

New Bad Machinery case starts on the 27th.

I'm so excited! Bad Machinery (and the other comics about its cast like Space is the Place) is by far the best, funniest, and most human work Allison has ever done.

Skinhead chat: There was this skinhead dude in my high school who went on and on about SHARP, not all skinheads are racist, etc. He later dropped out of school to become a racist skinhead.

I really appreciate that every time we see a Warhammer model in Bad Machinery it's one of those goofy beaky space marines from Rogue Trader.

Lotte's solidly middle class, for starters.

Also the newspost says there's another case after MORDAWWA and the Lottie babysitting story, so it's not like this is meant to be the capstone on Bad Machinery forever or whatever.
