John Allison is crazy, and I love him, and I want to be best friends with him.
This volume of Scary Go Round was funnier than previous collections I’ve read, perhaps marking his progression toward the hilarity of Bad Machinery and Giant Days. It’s fun to see characters from those two series in their younger days. I liked his honest intros to each arc, admitting to not always knowing where he was going with the plot, and to making decisions simply because he was bored with a plotline or character.
Good fun for fans of Allison’s more recent work, and worth the read.
