Those early strips look like Questionable Content except maybe not as bad

Pretty sure Jaques has said that Bobbins/SGR was one of the main inspirations for QC, so you're not imagining things.

And we get our first look at Becka Garlick. Did people really dress like that in the 90s?

Yes we did. I would say it was a dark time, but at least it wasn't the 80's.

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.

Erin moved to London quite a while ago.

I've forgotten who Rich is, I know I should remember.

One of the main characters in the original Bobbins. He was fired so hard he ceased to exist. Apparently he recovered.

He also showed up in the first retro Bobbins storyline.

Holly's reaction to seeing Shelley again was perfect. Poor girl, crawled her way back from the depths of madness,(or whatever it was Allison did to write her out), rebuilt her life as a TV journalist, and then wham! That squeaky ginger is back making things insane again.

Maybe this is some sort of infinite crisis of flashvergance and the result is going to be an all-new continuity free Bobbinsverse? Maybe?

Or we're just going to get all Robert Cop, all the time. Come to think of it, that wouldn't be so bad.
