Bad Machinery by John Allison for September 17, 2021

He should have waited until after the second eyebrow was done before the J’Accuse!

Uh oh… Colm found something that was best never known. Now Claire will have to kill him. Adorable Little Claire, why? WHY???

Why Claire, whyyyy!!! You better come up with a good explanation young lady! ＼（〇_ｏ）／

Yeah, what about it Claire?

Hm …

Little Claire is actually Little Flare????!!!!

Cuzth I’m a fire bug thilly

Cue the dramatic music “Duh duh DUHH!”

C’mon Colm, be the detective that you fancy yourself as being. Think about this situation and analyze it like Sherlock Holmes. First, there’s plenty of reason why a girl whose eyeglasses seem to be as thick as Coke bottles might need to carry around a magnifying glass. As for the matches (assuming she’s not secretly a smoker, which is always a possibility), that could be explained as simple Girl Scout constant preparedness for all emergencies. Oh, and she’s addicted to sniffing lighter fluid (just as your role model Holmes was addicted to his 7% solution). It’s a shameful problem, but perhaps you can help her work through her dependency.

Actually, Colm, now might be an okay time for a mad look.

All the girls wanna give Colm some eyebrows.

Called it…
