Bad Machinery by John Allison for January 03, 2025

Looks like the Eumenides in the last panel.

Shauna can tell she’s still mad at Lottie all she wants. But it’s clear she’s having a lot of fun with her.

Ladies! The Chamber of Commerce may be reading this comic even as you speak your plans!

Eumenides, as in “I rip-a deez pants; you mend-a deez pants”?

Panel 3: Lottie the Lethal, Mildred the Malicious, and Shauna the Serpent (Yessssss!)

They are the Furies. Goddess’s of Greek mythology. You dare not cross them less you incur their wrath!

Most places are developing and integrating A.I., but Tackleford is at the forefront of a much more powerful S.I.

Those are some very evocative sound effects.

Mildred has studied the culture of mean girls.

Shauna’s getting a little too fond of anonymous letters.

Those last 3 panels with the mystery girls, who are girls no longer, is, for me, the peak of Bad Machinery.

I love their new directions thereafter, but the growth from the wee schoolkids to these young ladies has been a privilege to witness.
