| Scary Go Round :: Monday-Friday Comic by John Allison | [[Amy is holding the head of the drink dispenser robot and talking to Shelley]]
/ Amy: Well Shelley, I couldn't fix the robot. It turns out I have no actual knowledge of robotics.
/ Shelley: We'll have to take it back to Tim to fix. / Amy: Tim's weird now. He's changed.
/ Shelley: He sent me a Christmas card! / [[Amy has her hands on Shelley's shoulders and is looking at her with concern]]
/ Amy: Shel, that was a bluprint labelled "(in no way a) Doomsday Device - keep this somewhere safe for me"
/ Shelley: "...and a happy new year!" / Amy: A horse wearing a bowler hat is not necessarily a stockbroker.
/ Shelley: Like you'd know. http://scarygoround.com/sgr/ar.php?date=20040202 |
| Scary Go Round 20040203 | Shelley: Oh her face is pretty and her ass is big, she looks like a model but she smells like a a pig...
/ Amy: Skating... ice... so thin... / Shelley: I am only kidding. You smell like a posey!
/ Amy: Why do you always accuse people of being "stinky"? / Shelley: It's my natural defence. Like a bee's sting. I am like a bee.
/ {{natural defense}}
/ Amy: I wish it was exactly like a bee's sting. / Amy: In that you would die painfully immediately after doing it.
/ Shelley: Oh, excuse me, I didn't realise you were wearing the sassypants today.

| Scary Go Round :: Monday-Friday Comic by John Allison | Shelley Winters: Why are we visiting Tim, Amy? Remind me please.
/ Amy Chilton: We should mend some bridges this year, Shel. If Tim's gone mad maybe we can ground him. With, you know, our down to earth worldview. / Shelley Winters: Last time we saw him he was bald, with an eyepatch, shouting in a wheelchair. He shouted at me!
/ Amy Chilton: Just shout back at him. Call him a freak and wave your arms about. / Shelley Winters: What... what if he's replaced both hands with hooks?
/ Amy Chilton: I don't know Shelley. I think at that point you can upgrade from "shout" to "shriek". http://scarygoround.com/sgr/ar.php?date=20040204 |
| Scary Go Round :: Monday-Friday Comic by John Allison | Tim: Come through. What a surprise!
/ Shelley: Keep a safe distance, Ames. Those "hands" could be rubber hook-cosies. / Tim: It's very nice to see you two. I didn't really expect to hear from anyone after Hallowe'en.
/ Shelley: You were frightful! / Tim: After I got the pox I became increasingly irritable, bald and unpleasant to be around.
/ Memory of Poxed Tim: Butter Pie! / Tim: Gripped by delusion and feverish hallucinations, I staggered toward madness.
/ Amy: How did you get better? / Tim: I went to the doctor and got some antibiotics. It cleared up within a week. / Tim: It's kind of an admission of failure for a man to go and see a physician. He wants to fight disease on his own manly terms.
/ Amy: A woman is smart enough to know you can't do that.
/ Shelley: You can't punch a microbe in the jaw. Its face is invisible to the naked eye. http://scarygoround.com/sgr/ar.php?date=20040205 |

| Scary Go Round :: Monday-Friday Comic by John Allison | Amy Chilton: We were wondering if you could fix that robot you built.
/ Tim Jones: Wh-wh- what happened here?
/ Shelley Winters: There was an outbreak of sadness. / Tim Jones: This was months of work! MONTHS!
/ Amy Chilton: Okay we have to go now! Bye! Lots of love! / Shelley Winters: We made him angry. We aren't very good friends at all.
/ Amy Chilton: Irrational, irresponsible rage is what makes Tim the man he is. / Amy Chilton: Shirtlessly yelling at a foe only he can see. Relentlessly punching soft furnishings. http://scarygoround.com/sgr/ar.php?date=20040206 |

| Scary Go Round :: Monday-Friday Comic by John Allison | Amy: Now we've mended bridges with Tim, let's go and see Ryan.
/ Shelley: We can't, Ames! / Shelley: His horrible old landlady won't let us in! And since his girlfriend blew up, he never comes out.
/ Amy: I thought you had a peppy, can-do attitude. / Shelley: I can only do when my personal safety is not at risk. I fear the wizened old crone.
/ Amy: What do you think she'll do? / Shelley: She'll make us watch a slide show called "A decade of scabs". The scabs will be her own. http://scarygoround.com/sgr/ar.php?date=20040209 |
| Scary Go Round :: Monday-Friday Comic by John Allison | Shelley Winters: Has she gone, is she going?
/ Amy Chilton: She's getting into her citroen death-wagon. Let's go.
/ Shelley Winters: So how are we going to get through to poor Ryan? / Amy Chilton: I figured I'd flash my bum at him through his window. He'll be filled with virile thoughts and that will fix him good.
/ Shelley Winters: AMY! / Shelley Winters: You can't solve people's problems with your bottom!
/ Amy Chilton: Pff! Give it ten seconds, he'll be dancing. http://scarygoround.com/sgr/ar.php?date=20040210 |
