Rather see Tim and Shelley together just because they are more interesting to read than the alternative

Shelley is an extremely successful professional woman. She's arguably more capable of taking care of herself than anybody else in the cast!

Sure, but how many of those were her own fault? Not to mention, she came back just as many times! Can't keep a good woman(troublemaker) down.

Wales is OK.

No, devil bears are attracted to sandwiches. This is well known, and is why The Boy pretended to be a sandwich to attract their attention.

Shouldn't Erin have an uncanny rapport with devil bears, on account of being the devil?

Apparently the Erin we know in Bobbins is her human half, and her devil half is still down in hell.

Okay, so quick question but who ARE all these people? Could I have like a Dramatis Personae of everyone from the start to finish? Because it seems as if there are a lot of characters and I started reading this very out of order and now I am nigh on terminally confused.

For example, who was the lady that end up burnt alive inside the gigantic wicker vole?

Rachel Dukakis-Montaforte originated in Bobbins and was meant to be the main character of Scary Go Round. She hated Shelley and tried to get her killed once; this resulted in her being chased by bikers, having her nose enlarged by the devil Old Nobby (the greatest character actor of his generation), and ultimately burned alive by apocalypse nuns. She had journalistic inclinations.

Her best friend, Tessa Davies, faded out of the plot as the result of Rachel's immolation.

Neither character seemed relevant enough at this point to put in the first post (although I'll certainly put this there because why not).

Not much of a stretch, I know. Shenanigans are a defining feature of Allison's comics, after all.

If you told me that Allison just makes up a couple of the albums on his year-end best of list each year I would probably believe you.

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.

She was a sword glinting in the depths of night, a lance of light piercing the darkness. There would be no mistakes this time.
Back in the SGR years I picked up more than a few albums based on Shelley's descriptions. :v:

Am I weird for not thinking his taste is that esoteric or unusual?

That said, gently caress Bryan Ferry. He's a jumped-up right-wing oval office turned spitting image puppet of himself with stapled-in dimples. Plus his record is poo poo.

I just hope his son is okay so I can go on thinking he's an rear end in a top hat without it being tinged by pity. It'd be awful to lose a family member at this time of year.

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.

Haha, yeah. In the second and third panels, those joined-bubbles should be separated and coming from separate characters. Though I really enjoy the nonsense logic of the conversation as-is.
