Lottie, I'm not sure this is so much a theory as a statement of the bleedin' obvious.

I believe Lottie was planning on hooking her up with the sewerman general. It remains to be seen if that goes anywhere.

In other webcomics news, good to see Tim Jones get the comeuppance he so richly deserves. I look forward to seeing who his lawyer turns out to be. I'm hoping incompetent boob.

Shouldn't those be 'half-sisters'? Unless Riley remarried... Somehow I can see the fruits of a Tim-Shelley union being uniquely worse than the one before. Also it seems like if you wanted to keep your parents together, maybe you should have stopped yourself from interfering in the experiment that blew up your house and led to the breakup in the first place, Scout. Or it's going to be a double-bluff and it's someone pretending to be Scout, pretending to be Timedad. I'm guessing...Desmond Fishman.

Well, that's a big twist.Roach Warehouse posted:I know any time travel fiction is rife with plot holes, but it seems to me that Scout could just go forward to 2030 and get another fully operational time cane, couldn’t she? Edit: also, hosed with time before her own birth, which seems like an incredibly dumb move. It's not like some distant abstract time thing, either. I'm pretty sure Shelley dying (permanently) would have had knock-on effects on Tim that could have prevented her own birth. Yvonmukluk fucked around with this message at 10:16 on Dec 6, 2017 |

RandomPauI posted:I'm volunteering at a Red Cross shelter. Someone left Chick Tracts on the toiletries table because of course they did. In Webcomics news: Shelley's not kidding. We have an actual Esther De Groot sighting in Bad Machinery/Scary Go Round! It's a Christmas miracle! And she's apparently...talking to a red robot? Man, Giant Days must be going in some weird directions. (Nice use of panel blocking to conceal who, if anyone, she showed up with, though). And I think that's Jack's sister's friend Lauren he's talking to. Oh, and Elliot's there, maybe talking to Holly. Shelby Winner's a bit of a surprise. Although that might be Mrs. Lord, considering Ken's right there.

SlothfulCobra posted:Come to think of it, I have no doubt that Lottie and Claire can make some music, because that's just something that naturally occurs with groups of mystery-solving children, but have they ever done anything musical in the comic before? Shauna was a singer in a power-metal band (until she got kicked out due to the Mod-Rocker war). She later showed up with a guitar in her alter ego, but I dunno if she was ever depicted playing (I think she's just the singer in Go-Kart Conspiracy, though). Heck, Lottie & Claire (and Mimi) discussed founding a band and (presumably) that guitar was Lottie's. Maybe she got her electric guitar as part of Mrs. Grote's financial success in Severed Alliance? Actually, I'm not sure it's been established what instrument Claire plays.

I just realised that Desmond Fishman is also attending this baby shower. Could this be the end of Desmond Fishman? Also, rereading Bad Machinery as research led me to discover Sixteen Miles To Merricks, which was a nice bonus.

Seems like Future Scout's being used to retroactively make Tim less of a danger to himself and others. Typical Tim Jones, relying on a dangerous invention to get himself out of trouble!

Kurui Reiten posted:So, considering the fifty or so comics people are saying are connected to it, and spun off it, and weave in and out of it, and just generally exist as part of it... You could probably just start with Scary Go Round proper, or alternatively just get into Bad Machinery directly if you don't want to work through the entire archive, since that was designed as a jumping-on point. Most of the tie-in stories aren't necessary for the overarching story, or where they are theyre ususally actually included in the standard Bad Machinery archive. I think the general consensus is that OG Bobbins is skippable. Edit: heartily beaten.

nine-gear crow posted:The exceptions generally being Poppy O'Possum, Monster Pulse, Kiwi Blitz and Bad Machinery, mostly because people are just too lazy to create a dedicated thread for each of them and fully cast off from this rotting bilge barge of a thread. There was a dedicated Bad Machinery thread, but it was decided to merge it back into this one to I guess get more people to read the comic? Honestly I didn't quite get the logic even back then.

So, I found out there's a Scary Go Round facebook page, and it some tantilising details:quote:It's the final part of Hard Yards! This could have been the last Scary Go Round, and it would have been a nice one, I think. But it's not, though it'll be the last dance for a while for a few characters. No break to comics this year; the Fishman returns for a special story next week OK, let's continue. quote:before we head into uncharted waters with new story WEN-TACK on January 1st. Thanks for reading.  With the tagline 'prepare for 2018'. It looks like we're likely following on from the Case of the Severed Alliance, since the Wen-Tack relief road was a plot point there. Also, presumably Mildred will get to play a bigger role this time round. Wonder which characters are being backgrounded? I'm thinking Tim & Shelley are the obvious ones, there. And hey, gocomics are doing reruns of Bad Machinery! I guess Allison did finally get syndicated. Also seems to be going from the collected books formatting, so there's some new bits & pieces.

I can't believe nobody recommended Paranatural. Also, it seems the Fishman has returned somewhat to the mean. I wound up going through the gocomics rerun of Bad Machinery, and I've been enjoying it immensely. The bonus parts have all been great thus far. If you want to reread the first few cases (they've just started The case of the Unwelcome Visitor) I heartily recommend it. I hope that the little girl that was too cute for the Choo Choo Bear to eat becomes Cecile's best friend as part of Bad Machinery: The Next Generation.

I think Penny Arcade was my doorway into webcomics I think my first not-gag-a-day webcomic was El Goonish Shive, I'm ashamed to say. I was young and stupid. Thankfully I outgrew it. I think I next went onto Problem Sleuth, and I briefly went into the Questionable Content rabbithole and Schlock Mercenary, and then I found Scary Go Round/Bad Machinery, Hark a Vagrant & Nedroid, and I've not really looked back since.

amigolupus posted:As someone who thinks Linton was severely underused in the past few story arc, I have to say I'm looking forward to seeing this pair try to work together. Now that I think about it, I don't remember if these two had significant interactions in the comics. I guess Jack & Sonny might have been pulled into the Go-Kart Conspiracy. Which makes sense, since Jack had his guitar & Sonny was producing him during the case of the Severed Alliance. I think John Allison has said this arc is specifically focusing on characters that haven't had much focus lately. So I'm looking forward to Mildred & Linton's Excellent Adventure.
