Scary Go Round :: Monday-Friday Comic by John Allison The Boy: Dad, what does it mean when a girl asks you to go to her boxing class? / The Father: Well son, that's complex.

At least, not on school premises! / The Boy: Milford, is it me or is every lesson we've had this week tied in to the Black Arts? / Milford: No idea!

Scary Go Round : All-Satanic Curriculum Erin: So I hear you've been switched to an all-Satanic curriculum. / The Boy: It's EXHAUSTING. Endless illuminated pictures of people's insides being eaten by man-wolves. Every lesson ends with a smirk, a wink, and "don't try this at home". / Erin: It must be part of some multi-faith, multi-cultural governmental experiment. / The Boy: Well, it could be. / Erin: Or the whole staff could be in the grip of the MIGHTY SHI-TAN / The Boy: Satan's like Father Christmas or the Easter Bunny, Erin. / Erin: The Easter Bunny is easily the weirdest thing anyone as ever invented. He's a bunny, but he's huge. And how does he get all those eggs? What must chickens think of the Easter Bunny? / The Boy: A cross between the predator and King Herod.

Is someone out there? / Erin: [[to herself]] SG! That's The Boy and Esther's class! I bet the note has something to do with this! / [[Erin unfolds the note.]] / Erin: "Banksy, you smell and your wife is ugly. Get used to it." / It's even WORSE THAN I THOUGHT.

Scary Go Round : Sleep-over [[Erin is in Esther's room.]] / Erin: It must be great being a Goth. I tried but it didn't work. Not enough angst for teh full transformation. / Erin: Clove cigarettes made me feel sick and I couldn't carry of "bleak". All I could manage was "grumpy". / Esther: I'm not a Goth, Erin. I'm just extremely DARK. It's my THING. / Erin: Isn't that like saying you fix leaks and like U-bends, but you're not a plumber? / Esther: I don't fit into society's easy little boxes. / Erin: Do you like vampires? / Erin: Would you let a vampire bite you? All Goths secretly crave the vampire's bite! / Esther: [[weilding a pumpkin-cutting knife]] After a certain number of stupid questions, a sleep-over becomes a MURDER-OVER.

They've been acting very strangely. / Esther: Are you any good at snooping? / Erin: I mind my own business! And any other business that needs minding.

Esther and I are going to dress up as girl reporters. / Esther: We wondered if you had any appropriate props. / Shelley: Here's my old camera and dictaphone, will they do? / Erin: They'll be perfect! / Esther: Now all we have to do is find out what the teachers are plotting. / Erin: Could we single out the weak link in the conspiracy? / Erin: Who would that be? / Esther: Someone who can't control a class. / [[Scene cuts to teacher wearing a "BUGS RULE" shirt.]] / Teacher: Girls, I'd love to have you in Entomology Club. / Erin: We're all about the insects, Miss. / Esther: I rate the Daddy-Long-Legs and the Silverfish as my top two.

The Death Beast rises up to stalk...": Oo-er / Erin: Esther, this is dynamite! / Esther: It's dynamite when you aren't the one being stalked by the Death-Beast!

Scary Go Round : Postlethwaite Waivers Erin: Esther, why are we going to a fancy dress party when your whole class is about to die? Shouldn't we at least tell them that the Hellbeast is coming for them? / Esther: And how would that help? Should we give them safety tips? / Esther: "When the Beast is raking you with its claws, stand in a doorway." / Erin: Maybe we could get people to hide. Inside lead boxes. / Roxy: Hello Esther, Erin. / Esther: Good evening Roxy. / Roxy: Now before you come in, I need you to sign this waiver. You break anything, you pay for it. You're sick on anything, you pay for it. / Esther: What's with the "Daddy's Wine Cellar" clause? / Roxy: All you need to know is that it is AWFUL.

Scary Go Round : Survival Instincts Milford: Lisa, I'm extremely good at wrestling. Do you know what I'm saying? I'm a GRAPPLER. / Esther: I like Milford's seduction technique. It's like a mouse trying to drive a tractor. / Erin: Stop being so calm! Doom is coming! Pretty soon it'll be Bloodbath O'Clock! / Esther: There's no such thing as Black Magic.

Scary Go Round : Mental but Gentle Erin: It's ten to twelve, Esther. I don't think you're going to be savaged by a demon. / Esther: I think you're right.

I am Bob Crowley. You summoned me. / Mr. Daimler: We d-d-d-did? / Crowley: So how, sir, would you like to die? / Mr. Daimler: I'm not meant to die! We used the pupil's books in the ritual! / Crowley: Do not schoolbooks remain the property of the school? O bitter irony! / To my first question, I suggest you answer "quickly".

Scary Go Round : Paper Friends Erin: You look nice! Where are you going, dirty stop-out? / Shelley: I'm covering an evening with noted explorer Chester Jones for the Tackleford Cormorant. He's been to the Congo and seen some fat spiders, or something. / Erin: Why would you write for the local paper? They always used to write about you like you were a crazed idiot. / Shelley: Keep your friends close and your enemies closer, small sister. / Erin: Forgive me, how does THAT work? / Shelley: Initially there is mild shame. Eventually I expect them to become overwhelmed by guilt. So overwhelmed that they can NO LONGER ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE IN SOCIETY.

Scary Go Round : Adventurers [[There is a poster and books proclaiming "Chester Jones: Fat Insects and Gorilla Ways."]] / Ryan: Dang his achievements! I feel like my life is meaningless and full of wasteed potential now. / Shelley: He hasn't even started talking yet, Ryan. / Shelley: Adventures are dangerous, achievements overrated! That's why I'm concentrating on writing articles. / Shelley: No journalist has had an exciting time since the late eighties. / Ryan: Yeah, I guess you got computers for that now. / Ryan: But what about TV journalists in such as Iraq? That seems like a wild old ride. / Shelley: Lunatic thrill seekers! That is news that could be safely gathered with a periscope.
http://scarygoround.com/sgr/ar.php?date=20051108
Scary Go Round : Gouging Pies Ryan: This Chester fellow is the sort of fellow ladies like. Looks like a lean future for this old bach'lor. / Shelley: Ryan, that is nonsense, your ladies have been extremely fancy! Fallon told me that one time a man tried to gouge out his own eyes, she was looking so nice! / Ryan: She was a looker, but that's all lies. It was PIES. He gouged out some PIES. / Shelley: PIES! / Ryan: We were at a bakery in Italy and she was wearing some real short shorts. Then an old fellow kind of lost control near some crusts. / Shelley: What happened? / Ryan: He stood there with all this pie in his hands, mortified. Then he broke into a real slow, slow Italian ballad. But I only understood the words "petticoat", "drainpipe" and "forfeited dowry".

Scary Go Round : Amy's Job Shelley: Are you coming to the pub? Chester's going to tell us how he lived among bison for six months! / Ryan: I guess I gotta. Now Time and Riley are engaged, he's probably my uncle / Ryan: My puffed up, self important, bison-huggin' uncle. / Shelley: Shhh! / Ryan: Where's Amy tonight? / Shelley: Amy has got a job, she's a working girl! / Ryan: That can't be right. What's she doin'? Something hideous I reckon. / Ryan: Drug courier, or maybe covering herself in jam in a burlesque show. Sittin' on cakes to delight major generals. / Shelley: No! Amy is good inside! / Ryan: "The management wish to inform people of a nervous disposition that tonight's show features trifle."
http://scarygoround.com/sgr/ar.php?date=20051110
Scary Go Round : Chester's Proposition Chester: Ryan! How did you enjoy the talk? / Ryan: Well it was pretty good, I guess. I never knew a dude could be accepted by a herd of elephants. You know, using just a couple of bin lids and vacuum cleaner hose. / Chester: I sense you're a man who craves excitement. Sieze the day, my man! Adventure is everywhere! / Ryan: I dare say there's more adventure on the African veldt than on Tackleford Common. / Chester: Ryan, Ryan! / Chester: Tell you what, old boy, if you can find a lost tribe or new species within the borough... how does ten grand sound? / Sounds like a sum worth risking fallin' in a hole for. Just so you know, it's not enough that I'd eat a peaceful hobo just to stay alive.
http://scarygoround.com/sgr/ar.php?date=20051111
Scary Go Round : Awake at 7:30! Ryan: Awake at 7:30! That's like gettin' a double length day! / Ryan: How come the newspaper never trumpets great achievement? Such as "Screwdrivers Found to be Lucky". / Ryan: "Poor, Horse-Faced Man Scores Excellent Bride". Or "New Locomotive Engine Cures Pox." We live in a drab age, Friend Bat. / Ryan: Man, I exist like a beast. An onion is no kind of meal for a man. / Ryan: Is it okay to go to the shop in your pyjamas at 7:30? Is everyone out there wearin' pyjamas? SURELY it's okay. Hell, it ain't like they're the pyjamas with that tinklin' hole upfront.

I need half of that prize money! / Ryan: Yeah, I guess you had it pretty easy livin' with ole Shelley. / Amy: Well...they say that two can live as cheaply as one. / Ryan: Hm, particularly when one of the two is well off and generous and the other is-- / Amy: --supremely skilled in acts of retribution? / Ryan: Petty threats of force don't alarm me. I'm like an armadillo. Bam! I'm in a ball. / Ryan: You could wail on me for an hour and all you'd get is red fists and cramps. / Amy: I'm not a puncher. That would show a tragic lack of imagination. I'd just snap all your cigarettes in the pub while you were on the toilet. The kind of psychological setback it's hard to come back from.

Scary Go Round :: Monday-Friday Comic by John Allison [[At the edge of the woods]] / Ryan: Where do we start lookin' for the hidden beasts of Tackleford woods? / Amy: The woods are miles deep. We can just set off in one direction until we see signs of something more interesting. / Ryan: Remember, it has to be a new thing, to get the 10k. / Amy: Listen, Ryan, if we tie a couple of antlers to an otter and take a picture with a camera phone...it's going to seem very new. / Ryan: That kind of critter could haunt a man's thoughts. Though perhaps not to the same extent as the flying scorpion. / Amy: I beg your pardon? / Ryan: It flies. It stings, it sometimes sings.

Scary Go Round :: Monday-Friday Comic by John Allison [[Amy chasing a rabbit with her cell phone extended]] / Amy: BUUUUUNNNY! / Amy: How am I meant to compare animals to their pictures in my book if they keep scarpering? / Amy: Show some backbone! / Ryan: It takes a gentle touch. And less hollerin'. / Amy: Well, at least we've got "Chilton's Tree Rat." / Ryan: For the last time, Amy, that wasn't a new species of squirrel. We just made it so damn mad that you couldn't tell what it was.
