Now all Boycey needs is a caravan and he'll be set.

The reveal of Rich Tweedy: Eco-Warrior is one of the funniest things I've read in a long time.

The BoyMan is going to need a lot of land sharks to bail him out of this one!

Eco-Force needs a team-up with Butcher, Baker and Candlestick Maker to fight obscure poaching crimes.

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.

Was Natalie skull-faced in that one, or did that only happen after Ryan was taken by the satanic nuns?

I find it eminently plausible that Tim has a perimeter alarm, and that he has a button in his pocket so he can trigger it in the event of awkward 'feelings' moments.

Kind of doubt he's dead, I seem to remember Allison saying he didn't want to kill off any major characters anymore in a blog post or something, so Eustace could very easily be hobbling around on one good leg. Then again, my memory isn't infallible and Allison has been known to do things like bring Des Fishman back after saying he would no longer appear in webcomics...

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.

Honestly, I'm betting on him waking up in a hospital bed.

If only because indirectly murdering a dude with really terrible advice would do bad things to Lottie.

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.

It was actually a tranquilizer gun, but with a tranquilizer dose meant for a bear's bodymass. The Boy becomes permanently superhumanly chill about everything.

So now Shelly and Holly are going to go running out into the woods to possibly run across Erin and Eustace. Tim may or may not be following. I wonder if Allison is pining for the old Scary-Go-Round crew and is working to get them back together, or if he's just rounding them up into a single spot so he can kill them all off in one go and be done with it?

Remember Bad Machinery was specifically intended to be all-ages-friendly.

Then remember the time Natalie got murdered by elderly arsonists, or the time Ryan's comatose body was tipped into a dumpster by a shady doctor and salvaged by devil-nuns, or the time Erin got engaged to the devil and was literally dragged into hell and erased from living memory.

It's more a return to form than anything.
