Bad Machinery

rynne:
I'm not worried at all about Bad Machinery not living up to Scary Go Round because I remember when John Allison pulled this same stunt before.  Bobbins started out as a office-romance kind of comic but eventually went into more fantasy/adventure territory, at which point Allison decided to end Bobbins and start a spin-off focused on that comic's secondary characters, Rachel and Tessa.  Within a year or so, Rachel and Tessa were minor players in this new comic, Scary Go Round, and the core cast was almost entirely the same as the primary Bobbins cast: Tim, Shelly, Amy, Fallon, Ryan, etc.  And then SGR evolved on its own, quite naturally, to be better than Bobbins had been before.

I'm fully expecting to see the same thing happening with Bad Machinery.  I can't imagine that Allison will be able to stop writing stories that feature the SGR cast any more than he could stop from featuring Bobbins cast members in SGR.

Lines:
The artwork is great and I really liked Scary Go Round, so I'm willing to be patient with it and see where it goes. I don't expect it to be as quirky and fantastical as SGR, but it still seems like it's going to be a fun comic.

I don't know what it is but I have a hard time following Bad Machinery. I am trying my hardest to stay interested, but find myself skipping days. I was totally in love with SGR around the time of the jellyfish adventure, too. Is it still possible to find in the archives?

Theriandros:
I read the first 3 months of SGR and my reaction is: "Why is this good?"

David_Dovey:
If you read the first 3 months of any well-respected webcomic you will probably think that. You tend to have to give webcomics a wide berth when you are starting out with them, especially ones that have been running as long as SGR.
