Bad Machinery by John Allison for July 24, 2019

At least until he isn’t. Those projects and deadlines are probably for a dimensional invasion of Albion via Tackleford.

Had to look up,“I’m made up for you”. I thought Blossom might be coming on to Shauna. Thank goodness for Google!

So nice to see how much Blossom and Shauna’s friendship is growing♡ But… hem… This mean that Lottie is no longer a friend for Shauna…?

Still in the car…..

I feel like the guy next to her at the bus stop is nerdishly rage-tweeting about how kids these days should know more about programming and databases.

Yays and all that.

Huge transformation Blossom’s outlook has undergone since Shauna not-so-gently became her friend.

Too bad she’s gone prematurely gray, though.

Blossom’s hair is well…nice. Jolly good for her. I guess it is the “Shauna Effect”.

I truly enjoyed the artwork today. Shauna’s face and body language are so expressive and wide ranging emotionally.

I’m afraid “I have a lot of projects right now” was just a nice way of putting her off and he just said it to not hurt her feelings but he really doesn’t want to see her… :-\

Database programming is not the highest ability tier. Trust me. I did it for a living. Some sets of relationships don’t fit the rules well but it’s basically following a set of rules. It can be harder getting information on what the data is from the end users than designing the database. Stuff that uses higher math is harder.

I really have to compliment Mr. Allison on his storytelling. He patiently laid the groundwork for Shauna’s new friendship with Blossom, and her anxieties about her father, and here they all pay off. The emotional impact upon the reader of it being Blossom who is there for Shauna today rather than Lottie is powerful.

Blossom is actually smiling in the last panel. Maybe her personality has truly changed for the better.
