So, I think today's Bad Machinery is a great introduction to the tone of the Bobbinsverse.

Nuns with Guns posted:i'm glad bad machinery is still going.... wasn't John Allison thinking about ending it? Yeah, he was considering it, but he changed his mind. Which I'm very glad of, because now Charlotte Grote Girl Reporter is a thing that is happening. Also he's been writing an ongoing Giant Days series which is delightful.

I read the Giant Days holiday special today. It's pretty great, and I recommend it. I should warn people it does contain Desmond Fishman, though.

Guys, guys! The next issue of Giant Days is based around a trip to Ikea. Look at that cover. Look at it.

The Giant Days IKEA issue lived up to all of my dreams.  To be fair, I've been listening to the ideal musical accompaniment the whole time, which only adds to the experience.

Nuebot posted:That's basically all that really keeps me from keeping reading it. I used to read scary go round back when that was still a thing but then my computer died and when I got a new one apparently it had stopped and the guy started something new. Eventually I started reading Bad Machinery and I caught up to the archives there and the guy just decided to put it on hiatus for a while to start another comic. Now he's doing Bad Machinery again? Cool for him I guess, he writes neat stuff. But it gets kind of weird when a webcomic starts taking effort to keep track of to find out whether or not the one I'm reading is actually the webcomic I'm there for, or if the author just wants to do something new out of the blue. Doctor_Fruitbat posted:Sure, but it badly needs a main site to amalgamate everything, with an archive detailing which chapters of what come in which order. It's not fantastically complicated, but the various series have gone on long enough and have enough interconnection between the cast that getting a handle on it all is a lot of work with basically no assistance from the author whatsoever. .

Scaramouche posted:CONTINUITY ERROR: In ScaryGoRound 11/29/16 Shauna is shown with entire pants, yet it is clearly shown in the previous day's comic when Lottie is applying styptic or whatever the dumb british call it that her pants' knees have been tragically torn. (smugly satisfied, mucousy inhaling noise, perhaps interspersed with chewing) Clearly Lottie had a spare set of trousers in Shauna's size for exactly this occasion. A journalist is always prepared.

Can we keep the Team Skull kids around as part of the cast, please? In Tackleford news: seems like onomatopoeic pointing is part of the Mystery Girl power set. Also Kiskaloo continues to be weird and amusing. I guess I should explain what it is rather than just dumping links every update. The elevator pitch is basically 'Calvin and Hobbes, except it's about a little girl and her one-eyed cat and sequential and it's also written/drawn by Chris Sanders (the Lilo & Stitch guy).' I guess throwing out links to stuff in the middle of a dream sequence might be confusing to people. Anyway, this will be the last time I bring it up unless someone else does first.

So I've just realised something. Assuming they don't get eaten by wendigos and get back to Tackleford, Erin and The Boy are back at school age. Which means they'll be contemporaries (maybe a year or two above in age) of the Mystery Teens. So I think we might see Erin vs. Mildred.

Is it me or has Shauna somehow raided Esther De Groot's wardrobe in this flashback? That outfit seems oddly familiar. I wonder if this means she wound up buying a bunch of Esther's clothes when she sold them off in Giant Days? Yvonmukluk fucked around with this message at 09:07 on Jan 12, 2017 |

Leroy Dennui posted:Man, did JA forget that he wrote most of these comics, or does he remember all too well? It's definitely the latter. I think that's part of why Bobbins.Horse exists - because he wants to revisit what was a good premise and characters and do them justice.

Oh nooooo! (to Bad Machinery ending. The Further Adventures of Shelley Winters - as well as possibly Erin & The Boy - sounds delightful.) Also careful, Lottie. Remember what happened the last time your mum dated a guy working in sewage management?

I like how after her mum shoots down dating another sewerman, Lottie turns around to hook him up with Shelley. Also it's about time something good happened to Mike.

ZearothK posted:That certainly sounds like John Allison intends to do a time skip like the one between Scary-Go-Round and Bad Machinery, but hey, Shauna and Lottie have made peace! Mind you, the Mystery Teens are apparently 15 now, so that kind of lines up with how old Esther, Erin and The Boy were when they made their debut in Scary Go Round.
