Bad Machinery by John Allison for April 30, 2019

What a brief intense roller-coaster of emotion that was for our Shauna.

In their world, that’s a highly unrealistic art style.

But, but… that looks like the portray of a girl from the 3D universe!!! And I think they are watching us right now!

Aw, so sweet! Shauna deserves this. And nice ring. Finally, notice Dan put the keys in the bowl by the door? I spent 30 years nagging my wife to do this. Get maybe 50% compliance. Argh!

Things do come up…

Try to make it look like tears of joy, Shauna…

Well, the tat’s a bit of a miss, but all the rest is certainly good news. Not that I was ever worried (I kind of figured this was going to be it way back at the beginning).

So is Shauna based on a real person? I would be pleased to meet her.

This is edging toward creepy. Hopefully Dan isn’t pulling a Humbert Humbert and marrying the mother to get close to the daughter.

“Things come up.” Indeed.

The good news is, Dan and Mum are getting married, and Dan wants to adopt you. The bad news is, while you were away, Dan got a hideous tattoo of your face, and it can’t be washed off.

Interesting that Mr. Allison skipped a strip from the original run: http://scarygoround.com/badmachinery/?date=20150710

Why is she so upset?

“What could you possibly still have to talk about?”-Gives Shauna something to talk about with Lottie right away

Maybe a tattoo of his future wife was better.
