Bad Machinery by John Allison for September 29, 2021

What do they think this is, boarding school?

I’ve always find amazing how much Lottie loves children/babies. She would love to be a big sister ♡. Personally, I’m more on Mildred’s side.

Motherly instincts are kicking in! ツ

The newbies would do well to strike an alliance with Blossom, so that she can be their bodyguard.

First taste of real power!

I literally laughed out loud at Mildred’s comment in the last panel!!! And, I love the look on her face as she says it! What a great way to start my morning. Thanks Mr. Allison.

Newly graduated officers reported for duty at their first station. The topside watch called the yeoman and announced “Fresh Meat.”

The original version had identified the date for this strip as being September 3; there’s a page in the print edition between yesterday’s and today’s strips that gives the date as well, but it wasn’t included here.

So basically, all you need to know is that it’s Friday, September 3 (of 2010), so we’re a month prior to the last strip.

I’m sure the male first years would love Lottie’s attention.

What year are the girls in?

Also, what age is that? (For us non-British readers.)

The three girls are in their second year at the school, right? How many more years do they have before they graduate from this school?
