Happy new year to all the Bad Machinery GoComics readers and commenters. We’re getting close to the end of the reruns here – I think they’ll end in February. It’s great to see all the comments and interest even on this third go-round (including the original run on my website).
This was a contemporary obsession of mine, too-large child in pushchair. I kept seeing them but I think it might have been a “cluster” because post-pandemic I’ve not spotted one.
I don’t usually say anything about the comics but this is a good example of me attempting to put more into a page of a daily (or near daily, I think these ran Mon-Thu originally) than anyone has since “the olden days”. I can’t believe I drew this exactly eight years ago (but I did).
If it helps explain my antipathy to this story, I don’t remember any of the plot points you describe here: the names of the chapters, the various staff movements, the surnames of the new characters, any of it. I was writing two monthly series for Boom Studios at the same time and struggling very badly with a crushing workload. I think The Great Unboxing could have been a great story if it had been all I was working on at the time.
No, “Bad Machinery”.
