Bad Machinery by John Allison for February 23, 2022

Yeah, Shauna, you’re just lucky that Lizzy 2 is a nice old bird.

Also, re: Panel 1, I’ve clearly been watching too much The Great. Huzzah!

To be fair, she probably can. I’m sure there’s something in the Magna Carta about it, probably towards the back.

Those poor, delicious onions…. But Mildred’s plan is so crazy that could work!

Just wait until Camilla is given the crown and the Glock.

…and Liz seems like such a nice lady.

To be fair, Mildred is at least on the right track. I dunno if it’d really work as well as described in real life, but the “skid zone” definitely would reduce fiction at least a little and thus making the engine a little easier to push.

Maybe they can put some onions underneath the engine to use as rollers?

Well, she could, but of course in practice she only shoots people she doesn’t like — and she doesn’t do that personally; she doesn’t do anything personally. It’s all done for her. She just plays snooker all day and eats fish and chips while her flunkies follow along after her, shooting people she doesn’t like, disposing of the bodies, picking up the fish wrappers, racking the balls, etc.

C. Huzzah, aka Mildred.
