Bad Machinery by John Allison for January 22, 2020

Poor Jack, all his mates seem constantly to be taking the piss with him.

Hm, that bottom right picture on the Wall of Fame looks… familiar. Wonder who that could be? Also, it has a different background. It almost looks like, instead of an official picture taken by the Cormorant, someone just, like, taped up their own picture on the wall. But who could or would do such a thing? Such a mystery. Mayhaps the Lottie and/or the other Mystery Kids could look into this one.

Hell is being friendzoned by these three girls.

Jack. She turned her head. Make your move, man.

This plan looks really dangerous.

Nice sales chart and it’s all because of those meddlesome kids!

Goo’ luck, mate!

Maybe Lottie’s Mum can locate her former live-in boyfriend, the demon-hunting sewer worker?

“Sewer it up, little darlin’, sewer it up. Come on baby, come on and sewer it up, little darlin’. Oh-oh!”

(After Bob Marley)

Like the action plan they have on the white board there:

-1. Take action-2. Make it happen

I can’t make out number three, but at this point, I can only assume it reads “Profit.” :P

And who is dat?

Love the way the only pictures you can make out on the wall are Erin and Shelley. And the added one, of course.

I must say, I really do love Shauna’s new look.

the head snap is a great panel – it really comes across as a believable action

Sales are way up!

Why do I feel that the long-gone-blood-writer to whom Lottie refers is intrepid reported Erin Winters?
