Bad Machinery by John Allison for April 08, 2024

I mentioned on the last page that, as originally posted, there was a week of interstitial strips between the end of “Space is the Place” and the beginning of “The Case of the Missing Piece” proper. This is the last two of them, combined into a double-row strip. We’ll get the one before them tomorrow.

Isn’t “The Bespectacled Eels” one of the bands that Ryan Beckwith used to play in?

There is no reason for anyone to permanently disfigure their skin with tattoos. Like Shauna is imagining, it will look downright hideous in a few years when his skin starts sagging and the ink fades.

I will never understand why people spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars so they can mar their body for life.

I love how Amy is always helpful and supportive of Shauna. I wonder if she see her like the little sister she never had.

I love British slang. Hadn’t heard “hench” before. “Buff” or “ripped,” I gather.
