Bad Machinery by John Allison for January 25, 2021

Mr Rabbit, did you chew off your own leg? Gnaw. and “You’ve heard of animals chewing off a leg to escape a trap? That’s an animal kind of trick. A human would remain in the trap, endure the pain, feigning death that he might kill the trapper and remove a threat to his kind.”

Just keep telling yourself that its for the sake of the case, Linton.

Of course Mr. Naturecraft plays a Pan pipe. How could he not play a Pan pipe?

“Naturecraft Folk” is no doubt based on Woodcraft Folk, a British organization for children and youth which is a non-paramilitary alternative to Boy Scouts. It has a hippy-ish reputation.

Hmm, if it wasn’t for that Bad Machinery supposedly takes place after Giant Days, I’d say that sure looks like a young Daisy Wotten there with the red hair.

Linton seems to have an admirer.

The little girl really loves Linton♡♡♡

The girl with purple hair seems to be having a borderline-religious experience.

The concept of a “Corroboree” sounds Scout-ish and hippie-ish at the same time.

Looks like a classroom full of Dare students in the 90’s.

Well, Linton, if you HAD been a member of Naturecraft Folk, you would have known that an animal would chew off its own leg to get out of a trap.
