Bad Machinery by John Allison for August 13, 2019

Aren’t weddings wonderful. Always bringing families together

OUCH!!! Also, notice how that deep color red on the background makes the strip very dramatic! Very clever dear Allison!

Harsh but fair. Blossom just do something unforgivable.

Ooh, but…not totally unexpected. Wouldn’t be too terribly pleased with Blossom myself were I in Shauna’s shoes.

…wonder if this’ll spur Blossom to rise up to be the better person in the end…or just relapse back into the bully she was before, if not worse…

Well, Dez is true to form. And I guess Blossom is as well, sigh. I had hope the Shauna magic would work on her. Only in cartoons-wait-what is this?

Well, a lot of stuff has been exposed, so maybe some healing can take place. Everybody’s hurt and lashing out so it will take some time for that to happen, though.

Meantime, I have some sympathy for Darren. He’s in trouble with the loan shark who may target Darren’s family. That’s a lot of pressure. And he’s actually working and apparently trying to keep out of trouble.

“He’s not bad; he’s just drawn that way.”

OK, I’ve made my peace with the fact that this story arc is not going to have any mystery or supernatural angle…but why does it have to be so saaaadddd?

Whelp… that’s come full circle, hasn’t it?
