A fill-in
In the absence of new comics, here is an unlocked post with some Bobbins.horse comics I ran here in late 2022. They never ran on the main website - I lost enthusiasm for yet another revival that might have run for months and months, but I think there is good writing and drawing here - a lot of fun character work.
EDIT: All my comic websites were subject to a malware attack on Monday. I am waiting for my web host to wipe everything (they have been... tardy) and I will rebuild them from scratch.

To have Shelly's metabolism
The 2000s fashions are bringing me back! ♥♥♥
Wonderful characters, dialogue, and drawing. I am always left wanting more. Please never stop.
Probably not the best approach for assessing whether Holly is evil or not. I'm sure she also has a convenient explanation for why she has a t-shirt in her wardrobe that says "Die Shelley, Die!" on it.
It's German for "The Shelley, The" and as we all know, no one who speaks German could be evil.
I loved seeing old friends and get caught up with them. Too bad no Tim and I'd love to see a quickie where are they now for Bad Machinery folk who aren't Charlotte or unrepentant arsonists.
I really appreciate these as an exercise in drawing fashion circa 1999.
"get drunk on someone's charisma". Damn. There's a song lyric.
I miss Bobbins, but, being old, I miss many things. Saddened to learn that malware miscreants have attacked Mr Allison's sites. (Are we totally sure it's not Big Conan, being dicks again? /s)
These are great! Thanks for sharing.
Oh man, I love Ryan.
Love Ryan, miss Moon.
Thanks for these John! I realize now how much I've missed Holly and her scheming and taste in wine.
I'm grateful for some resolution of these issues
Aw, now you've reminded me how much I miss the Bobbinsers. Damn you, sir, with exceptionally high praise.
Bobbins Forever! Never Never!
It takes a few tics to readjust to the vignette structure of Bobbins, but I like how definitively webcomics it is, in contrast to comics on the web.
Yes, vignettes is right, an approach I enjoy as much as working page to page.
I liked a lot this story about Shelley discovering that her supposed best friend was just a parasite.
Off-topic, but the homepage at badmachinery.com is throwing a 403 forbidden error.
Hi Chris, i am well aware (and very stressed), I have updated the post at the top to reflect
"What they lack in finesse they make up for in sheer tonnage" has been my go-to quote for dining at American restaurants since you first shared Polly leveraging her temp powers to her caloric advantage.
*cough* Hi, is it just me or is https://badmachinery.com returning a 403 error for any page right now?
The sites are screwed, malware up the ying yang. I asked my host to wipe everything, will rebuild from scratch.
well shit, now I'm hooked. Invested in this story I'll never see to completion, and cannot possibly complete on my own.
Damn. That was entertaining.
All paths lead to DETH.
I wonder what Shelly is up to these days? 🤔
She successfully pitched Tibkins to Marvel last year, and he’s rumoured to be appearing in Avengers: Secret Wars in 2027.
