Gibbous Moon

Gibbous Moon is an American marine biologist, evil intern, smuggler, and one of the friends of Shelley Winters in Scary Go Round.

Originally hailing from Oklahoma, USA, and of Puerto Rican descent on her mother's side [2], Gibbous Moon first appeared in the comic as an evil intern in Archie Stanwyck's, Dr. Daniel Petrescu's and Bentley Quorn's lair on Armageddon Island, where she made the acquaintance of Shelley Winters, who was the captive of the three villains at that time.[3] In spite of technically being enemies, the two women quickly developed a friendly relationship, and even escaped from the island together (along with Fallon Young).

Some time later, while Moon was doing marine research at Oklahoma U, Shelley contacted her and sent her a picture of a mer-man known as Desmond Fishman[4], which was sufficient motivation for her to come to Tackleford. There, she met Ernest Cromerty, and they got to know and respect each other during a mission to the Orkney Islands, catching the legendary Kraken.[5] Originally planning to go back home after this adventure [6], Ernest was able to convince her to stay in Tackleford.[7]

Unfortunately, this then led her back to a life of crime, soon thereafter leading a postman smuggler ring together with Ernest.[8] This ended when their schemes were thwarted by Ryan Beckwith, Amy Chilton and Desmond, leading to Moon's and Ernest's arrest.[9]
Rachel Dukakis-Monteforte

**Rachel Dukakis-Monteforte** (the heiress to the Dukakis-Monteforte Biscuit Dynasty [1]) appeared first  in Bobbins as a barmaid at The Ragged Stoat in Tackleford, along with her close friend Tessa Davies. Both later enrolled as students at the University of Tackleford; Rachel studied journalism under Professor Len Pickering. There, at the professor's urging (after her academic performance had slipped to the extent of endangering her future as a student) Rachel revived the long-dormant student newspaper of the university (in the process solving the mystery of what became of its former staff).

Shortly after, the bar is destroyed and the two take a job as Interior Decorators for Len Pickering.  Before they could be paid for the job, Amy Chilton went missing and was thought to have been murdered by her father.  In
order to clear his name and get their money, Rachel and Tessa enter an alternate dimension where Amy had been kidnapped and is now a celebrity to bring her back.

Later, she manipulated a biker gang into shooting Shelley Winters.[2][3] Eventually the gang found out that they had been tricked, and punished Rachel by tossing her off a bridge.[4] That would have meant certain death for her, but Rachel managed to avoid that fate by selling her soul to the Devil.[5] Due to the police also being on her heels [6], she and Tessa fled to Wales (where they then managed Space Owl's 2005 election campaign [7]), but later returned to Tackleford as the evil leaders of the Little Sisters of Belial. Rachel was known as Mother Superior while leading the Sisters. Unfortunately, her leadership ended for her in a rather... violently fiery way.[8]

In spite of her apparent death, Rachel reappeared (together with Tessa) years later within Mrs. Terry's secluded street of the forgotten.[9]

### Trivia

Rachel's childhood nemesis [10] was the beetle demon Krakkagar.[11]

At one point, Rachel's basement had a passage leading to Constantinople, which was buried under Istanbul (which was actually a spaceship that landed on top of the older city).

*Giant Days #16* revealed that the Dukakis-Monteforte Biscuit Works have their (or at least *one*) factory in Sheffield, the town of the university attended by Esther de Groot, Daisy Wooton and Susan Ptolemy. Their elderly neighbor (Clive Burton) once worked there, where he, so he claims in *Giant Days #23*, introduced the triangular vacuum-sealed sandwich packet to the UK.

## Fictional Portrayal

List of instances where John appears in the comic:

* In this Bobbins strip, there is a person stating that he is glad that this story is over, while holding up a sign that says: "SORRY, READERS". It looks like this is meant to be the author himself.
* In this SGR guest strip by fellow webcomic artist Jeffrey Rowland, John (aka The Englishman) is bringing Shelley Winters to life in the real world, in order for her to be his bride. She choses Jeffrey instead.

Little Sisters of Belial

St Timothy's Little Sisters of Belial [2] are an order of Satanist nuns founded by Sir Bentine Sellers [3], serving the "kinky minor demon" [4] Belial. Their abbey is located at 48 Jollity Lane, Coward Cross, Tackleford.[5] (As it seems, right next to Eisegesis Supernatural Services: [6],[7],[8]) Their motto is: "Qui cum canibus ambulat, caveat stercorum."[9] (This is Latin and can be translated as: "Who walks with dogs, bewares of the excrements.") In public, they are wearing black and white nun habits and gas masks. The habit of the leading nun is red and white.

During the Sisters' appearances in Scary Go Round, the order was lead by Mother Superior (Rachel Dukakis-Monteforte). Having been given this assignment by The Devil [10] as part of his plan to midwife the Apocalypse (which Mother Superior later claims was also the original purpose of this order [11]), her reign mainly involved reading (or possibly forging) books about prophecies, and sifting "every refusenik, wastrel and soak" in order to find the Pipers Three, three individuals playing key roles in said prophecies.[12]

 This however, was met with some amount of criticism by the other nuns, who were missing the old days of "bathing in blood and orgies by bonfire's light".[13] Mother Superior apparently managed to keep the nuns in line by claiming to have magic powers [14], but eventually discontent grew so large that the nuns decided to burn her alive on a bonfire.[15]

## Known Sisters:

Mother Superior - alias Rachel Dukakis-Monteforte, a former barmaid and journalism student.

Sister Nausicaa [16] - alias Tessa Davies, Rachel's best friend since long before they joined the order. Like her, she too was once a barmaid and journalism student.

Sister Suppuration - one of the first Sisters to voice criticism regarding Mother Superior's priorities.[17]

Sister Corrupta - allegedly had been turned into a pillar of salt by Mother Superior, but actually went on to work in a Pret A Manger on Stag Street.[18]

Sister Tristessa - participated in constructing the wicker vole for the bonfire in which Mother Superior was burned.[19] She explained that she had been pushed around all her life before joining the order.[20] (Interesting side note: Here she is wearing boots very similar to the ones of Mordawwa, Queen of the Underworld. While this is probably a coincidence from the Doylist point of view, for the Watsonian side one could retroactively postulate that Tristessa might have been aware of either the comic book Mordawwa or even - as the follower of a demonic cult - the actual entity as later embodied by Erin Winters.)

Sister Cloris - a lifelong lover of "comfort food".[21]

Whittler - while Sister Nausicaa was talking with another sister, she called her by that name.[22] Given that the woman in question is shown to be whittling, this is likely her order name (Sister Whittler), rather than her civilian surname. Due to her love of whittling, it is quite possible Sister Whittler is Poppy. Ryan's date from Ballad of the man.[23]
Cedric the Emo Potato

**Cedric the Emo Potato** was a potato that wore black, thick-rimmed glasses with hair falling over one of his eyes. While initially conceived of by Amy Chilton as a example of something equally non-existent as gnomes, he was shortly thereafter created by Shelley Winters. Cedric was subsequently baked and eaten by Amy during the search for the amnesiac Ryan Beckwith.

Mordawwa

**Mordawwa** is the title character of what is, within the Tackleford universe, a fictional comic book. She is the queen of Hell (or some similar non-religion-specific underworld). Her comic is one of the "Scary Go Round" line of comics, with a pseudo-retro-Marvel style, described in the house ads and columns included in the *Expecting To Fly* issues. One sequence of panels from this comic which was shown as a bonus strip had Mordawwa being audited by the cosmic Taxman (part of a line-wide mega-crossover). In-universe, Erin Winters was shown some issues of this comic by her big sister Shelley Winters when Shelley was atoning for rashly telling her little sister to go to Hell; the comic showed Erin that Hell wasn't necessarily such a bad place, at least if you were the ruler of it. Erin took this to heart later when actually consigned to the netherworld, when she managed to put herself in the ruling position and then patterned her persona after the comic character she had read years earlier. Or maybe the comic book writer and artist patterned their character after a supernatural vision of the timeless queen of the underworld that Erin became; you could make a case either way.

When she became Mordawwa, Erin sprouted horns. However, she sawed them off later while mourning for her friend in Hell, a dragon known as The Sheriff, after he got shot (but they did not shoot the deputy). The Sheriff later came back to life (or afterlife as the case may be in Hell), and Mordawwa put on headgear with built-in horns to replace her real missing ones.

A Mordawwa comic series started February 22, 2016, accompanied by a handy guide to the history of the character. It was then printed as a paper comic and withdrawn from the web, though she was subsequently noted as "canceled" and returned to Earth as a mortal human along with human-turned-horse-turned-human Eustace Boyce.
Scareodeleria

Scareodeleria is a title that has been used by John Allison for two projects. The first version of Scareodeleria was a series of hand-drawn comics created during the period when Scary Go Round was not hand-drawn. This version is no longer online, but can still be accessed via Archive.org

The second use of Scareodeleria as a title was for a paper comic that is now out of print. The contents of this version of Scareodeleria formed the bulk of Scary Go Round Chapter 33: The Big Broadcast, as per a reply on Allison's Twitter account.

George Bough

**George**

    **Bough** (pronounced "boff") is a teacher at Griswald's Grammar School, noted as "the bad sort of teacher" in John Allison's guide to the characters[1]. He is into the game of squash, brass instruments, and trains. The best day of his life was the Tackleford Bicentennial in 1960, when as a little child he got to see the Flying Scotsman train. He's overdue for retirement, but keeps coming back anyway.
Sonny Craven

**Sonny Craven** is a lead character with Bad Machinery, forming one third of the mystery solving boys along with Jack Finch and Linton Baxter. He lives with his parents and his sister Cecile. He is the first cousin of Mildred Haversham.

He speaks fluent French, as he lived there for a year.

   He has been seen in an apparent romantic involvement with an unknown boy.[1]
La Rochelle

La Rochelle is a town in France, and the twin town of Tackleford.[2] Griswald's Grammar School and a school in La Rochelle are maintaining a student exchange program.

Mimi Broussard, a citizen of this town, once quite unflatteringly described it as "a dumb" (which caused some displeasure among her class mates), but also lauded the "well maintained road out of town".[3]

La Rochelle may be meant to be the real French city of the same name (both are port towns [4], [5]), but that isn't 100% certain.

## Known citizens of La Rochelle:

Natalie Durand [6], former girlfriend of Ryan Beckwith.

Jean Choux-Fleur, had a crush on Natalie [7], but was seen by her only as "ze local simpleton".[8]

Elodie Broussard, her younger sister Mimi Broussard, and their parents.

Camille Duplass, Mimi's friend-turned-archenemy.[9]

Camille's posse, of which one girl is named Hélène.
Krampus

**Krampus** is an associate of Santa Claus. Like him, he is also in the Christmas business.

While Krampus wasn't allowed to perform the main gig (the last time he did, in 1911, this ended in a catastrophe the business took years to recover from)[2], he occasionally handled extreme cases, like the one of Desmond Fishman, via appearing in one of Desmond's dreams.[3] Desmond apparently was so far on the naughty side of Santa's list ("the worst boy"!), that "an emergency task force had to be assembled to judge [his] deeds".[4] And Krampus was indeed successful in reforming Desmond - at least to a certain degree: The next morning, on Christmas Day, Desmond gave an obsolete coin to a "boy" for buying a turkey, and tried to shoot some crows in order to cook them as Christmas dinner for his butler Fotheringay.[5]

Krampus was a furry beast with horns and a long tongue. His voice was once described by Desmond as "guttural".[6]

Krampus' job was it to punish naughty children (and childish mer-men). According to Desmond's dream, one form of punishment (from a list of several the naughty child or mer-man was allowed to chose from) involved bodily trashing with birch twigs[7], and another one being eaten alive.[8] (Amazingly, Desmond found the latter to be the more preferable option, though still a highly unpleasant one...)

He also seemed to be quite tech savvy, owning a tablet computer and having an own Pinterest account. He was only posting pictures of skulls, though.[9]

In real life, Krampus is a character from Alpine folklore. You can learn more about him here.

Mimi Broussard

Mimi Broussard is a student of a school in La Rochelle, France, and the younger sister of Elodie Broussard.

Mimi's first appearance was in Scary Go Round, when Eustace Boyce arrived in her home town, in the context of the La Rochelle/Tackleford student exchange program. She tricked him into thinking that she was her older sister Elodie, a prank Mimi was able to pull off due to her similarity to Elodie at the same age, when Elodie had first met Eustace in Tackleford.[3] Elodie and Mimi even shared the same Smurf obsession.[4]

During that time, Mimi was still the best friend of Camille Duplass. This changed when Camille told her the secret of her six nipples, which Mimi couldn't keep to herself. This caused Camille to become the laughing stock of the school. It got so bad that Camille had to leave the school, and when she and Mimi met again at the start of collége, Camille executed bitter revenge by telling lies and rumors that turned Mimi into a social outcast.[5]

In the Bad Machinery story *The Case Of The Modern Men*, Mimi visited Tackleford as an exchange student herself. After having some starting problems, and then adventures, she eventually became good friends with Charlotte Grote (even giving Lottie her leather jacket as a parting gift) [6], and also developed a romantic relationship to Jack Finch.[7] Even Camille seemed to start threading her more friendly again in the end [8], which was no doubt due to the clearly phrased words of encouragement given by Claire Little.[9]
Great Tackleford Show

The **Great Tackleford Show** is a fair held in Tackleford to exhibit local achievements in agriculture, horticulture, animal husbandry, and other areas. It is apparently an annual event (it is reported to have been founded in 1894, and has been covered by the Tackleford Cormorant at least as far back as 1970), but the one known occurrence was held August 12-14, 2007. The paper's editor thinks of its coverage as an important assignment, but it goes over about as well with the reporters as the assignment of City Limit reporters to cover the Dingham-on-Wharfe Pig Race years earlier.

It turned out that giant bees were not eligible for entry into the "Best Beast" competition.

Fisherman's Friend

**Fisherman's Friend** is a British brand of mint lozenges. While Lottie and Mildred were in 1960 (during The Case of the Forked Road), they bought some (for sixpence or less) in a belief that the version sold back then contained opium.

Unlike many things in these comics, Fisherman's Friend actually exists in the real world, but has apparently never had opium in it even when first manufactured in 1865. Coca-Cola did, however, have trace amounts of cocaine in it when it was first made, though this ended long before 1960 so the girls would have been disappointed there as well.
Tackleford City FC

The **Tackleford City FC** (Football Club, playing what the Americans would refer to as "soccer", but what do Americans know about it?) is a team with a rich, century-long history in the city of Tackleford. It has many avid fans, including Darren Wickle, whose Tackleford City FC posters were faithfully preserved by his mum on the wall of his room during his time in prison. Jack Finch collects football trading cards, but isn't so into actually attending matches (despite winning lifetime season tickets along with the rest of the Mystery Kids; Linton Baxter was the only one who actually was excited at this).

Some news articles of the club's history can be found in the bonus material at the end of the "Case of the Team Spirit" *Bad Machinery* graphic novel in its (paper or Kindle) book version. Another article appeared in 2005, and a headline from 1960 in a later story.

Industrialist Hamilton Percy seems to be an official sponsor of this team, given that his name is written on Tackleford FC merchandise, like e.g. sweaters. He is also one of the board members.

### History

The club played its first match on October 4, 1912 after the town by-laws were changed to permit the sport. No pitch had been built, so it was played on a two-mile stretch of Main Street, ending in a 5-5 tie against Pendlebury & Rasmond Colliery.

By July 1915, they finally had an actual pitch, Wasp's Nest, after a number of matches played on marshland.

In 1924, Tackleford player Sanjay Rhamaswami led a 2-0 victory over then-dominant Sunderland by levitating, teleporting, and shooting an eerie green ray from an emerald.

In 1960, the players went on strike and were termed "privileged popinjays" by the chairman.

In 1994, midfielder Carl Patterson made the pop charts with a single, "Baby, I Think I'm In Love With You", which, due to complex rules governing football league promotion, actually assisted Tackleford City FC in gaining a position in a higher league.

In 2005, the club (then playing in Pepperami Stadium) lost a 4-1 match to Chepchestershire, which featured the opposing team's midfielder Ngatu Walpole using witch-doctor "bad juju touch" to stop the heart of Tackleford forward Des Blake.

In 2007, Russian businessman Yuri Kropotkin purchased the team (then ailing financially) for 1 pound, and proceeded to build a new stadium for it. A series of unfortunate incidents followed, in which a malicious spirit played a role, but Yuri's wife played an even larger, more malignant role.

**Walt Beckwith** is the son of Ryan Beckwith and Amy Beckwith-Chilton. He first appears in the Bobbins of February 15, 2015 (http://www.scarygoround.com/bobbins/?date=20140215). Amy's pregnancy was shown earlier in Bad Machinery and New Bobbins strips, and featured in the plotline of "The Case of the Forked Road", where, soon after the girls notice her pregnancy (and Shauna gets a part time job at Amy's store, with thoughts of getting into babysitting once there's a baby to sit), a time wormhole causes history to change so that she's not pregnant, or together with Ryan; thus, Walt would never have existed if the girls' subsequent actions hadn't led to a new timeline where the marriage and pregnancy once again were reality.

Walt has sometimes had a varied diet and it's unknown whether the spider he ate was radioactive and might give him powers.
Wales

**Wales**, one of the component parts of the United Kingdom, features heavily in the stories of the Tackleford universe even though Tackleford itself is in England.

* Rich Tweedy thinks that "a mutually agreeable networking co-interface opportunity" is "still a hanging offence in Wales."[2]

* Tim Jones was exiled to Wales after losing an invention competition.

* Esther DeGroot and Eustace Boyce (The Boy) lost their virginity in a caravan in Wales (during an unsuccessful attempt to get Tim to return to Tackleford).

* Tessa Davies and Rachel Dukakis-Monteforte wind up there[3] after descending into evil.
* Space Owl is a successful candidate for office, managed by Tessa and Rachel.
* When he was suffering from amnesia, Ryan Beckwith was sent to Wales to Tim and Riley (Tim's wife and Ryan's sister) [4], in order for Tim to restore his memory.[5]

* SpaceUK runs a space camp in a holiday camp site there, attended by Charlotte Grote, Shauna Wickle, and Tuan Hoang.

You can learn more about the real life version of Wales here.
Space Owl

**Space Owl** dropped from the sky to serve as a successful candidate for office in Wales, just as Tessa Davies and Rachel Dukakis-Monteforte needed a new project to get behind after fleeing from their past misdeeds. This turned out to be the work of the Devil.

His name implies that he is from space, and therefore an alien.

[2] <--- this is him
Illeanna Godmundsdottir

**Illeanna Godmundsdottir** was Tim Jones' girlfriend, and later Rich Tweedy's wife. She came from Iceland.

Tim first noticed her in the grocery store, and stalked her for a while with the help of Rich. Later, Fallon Young provided a detailed plan for winning her over (he hadn't yet talked to her or learned her name at this point). Rather than follow any devious, convoluted plan, Tim eventually just walks up to her and asks her out, which, to his dazzling surprise, succeeds. At the time, she works for Must Be Records on Owl Street, and manages to find a Steely Dan limited edition album with poster for Tim. While she finds some of Tim's ideas a little nutty, she still keeps dating him, perhaps just to get him to take her to restaurants and spend money.

As their relationship continues, it becomes Illeanna's turn to sound a little nutty when she recounts various details of life in Iceland, such as its being led by a giant Eskimo named Keith. Tim isn't sure how much to believe of it, though some of it is borne out when the two make a trip to Iceland over the Christmas holidays.

In Iceland, Tim met some of Illeanna's family, her father Einar and her mother Katti, and sisters Gulla, Inga, Karo, Loa, Sola, and Hrefna. Her father confides that he was really trying for a boy when he had seven daughters instead, and when Tim suggested he offer at the hospital to swap a girl for a boy he said he tried that too.

Returning from Iceland, Tim observes Rich's difficulty in romance, and determines to do something about it. This eventually leads indirectly to the downfall of his relationship with Illeanna, because it prompts him to build Unit Daisy, a robot woman designed to be a mate for Rich, but when she doesn't hit it off with him, she ends up romancing Tim instead, which then leads Illeanna to leave. Soon Tim loses his robot girlfriend too, as a big red robot fights him for her. Meanwhile, Illeanna becomes romantically involved with Rich, straining the two men's friendship once this becomes known.

Sometime in the period after Rich was "fired so hard he ceased to exist" (he apparently still existed, but it was an unchronicled existence not shown in any comic strip), he married Illeanna, but by the time he showed up again in the "Into The Woods" storyline (as an eco-terrorist), they were no longer married; she was referred to as an "ex-wife".
Holly West

**Holly West** was a writer for City Limit magazine, and later the final editor in chief before the publication folded.

For a while, she was housemates with Shelley Winters, and the two were good friends.

She went through a phase where she was pretending to be a lesbian in order to get guys interested in her.

Holly became infatuated with Van Dyke Jones, and when he went to the Himalayas to "find himself", Holly followed (unknown to him), but due to lack of mountaineering skills on her part, she got lost and failed to find Van Dyke, or even find her way back to civilisation for a long time. Later missions to find her (participated in by various people including Fallon Young) were unsuccessful, but Van Dyke got lost himself and found a tribe who he taught to play "Loveless" by My Bloody Valentine on traditional instruments. He was eventually discovered by Fallon, and Holly herself was just about to run into them and reunite everybody when the tribe's musical efforts caused an avalanche.

Holly did eventually return to civilisation (and even to Tackleford), but by then she had developed some mental problems which included conversing with an invisible evil twin of herself. With a new, more ruthless personality, she soon took advantage of management upheavals in the City Limit company and got herself appointed to the position of editor in chief, when she proceeded to complete the job of destroying the company which had been pursued for years by her predecessors.

She resurfaced as a documentary-maker covering the Tackleford woods being infested with devil bears, and was last seen running away from Erin Winters, who had appeared as Mordawwa.
Stan Jones

**Stan Jones** is the late father of Tim Jones and Van Dyke Jones, and a character appearing in *Expecting to Fly* and *Hard Yards*.

While his exact date of death is unknown, it can be deduced to be somewhere in the late 1990s: He was still alive during the events of *Expecting to Fly* in 1996, but has been stated to be dead for 20 years by the late 2010s . According to Shelley Winters, he died during the first summer Tim was home from university, right in front of Tim's eyes, with the cause being spontaneous combustion.[2]

Stan was a genius inventor, just like his son Tim - In fact, most of Tim's own inventions are based on Stan's old notes . Amongst Stan's inventions are a helmet that can be used to look into the future , and a cane for time travelling . He appeared to have used (uses? will have been used???) the latter for traveling forward in time and trying to prevent Tim from causing a destaster that he saw via his prognostication helmet. Tim though didn't know what's going on and probably reckoned his deceased dad visting and talking to him to be a hallucination or a ghost . Ultimately, it turned out that these appearances were made by Tim and Riley's daughter Scout traveling back in time from the future, so the fate of the actual Stan Jones is still uncertain.

Dates Scout has visited as "Stan" include:

* August 30, 2002 (When Tim was presenting his glow in the dark duck at a science fair.)
* March 27, 2003 (When Fallon Young was recruiting Tim for a spy mission against Dr. Daniel Petrescu in Romania.)
* September 21, 2004 (When Amy Chilton first noticed Tim's time travel teapot .)
* April 11, 2005 (When Tim was running for major's office.)
* May 24, 2008 (Around the time of the events that lead to the invent-off and Tim's subsequent exile to Wales .)

### Trivia

Due to his cane only being capable to bring him *forward* in time, one could assume that Stan didn't actually die in the late 1990s, but instead simply started his time journey and never came back. And this could then mean that this first time jump was what Tim actually witnessed and erroneously interpreted as "spontaneous combustion". This speculation is apparently unfounded, however, given the eventual revelation that the time travel was actually done by Scout.

After Stan revealed himself to Charlotte Grote and Linton Baxter, the Mystery Kids started to refer to him as "Time Dad".
Robert Cop

**Robert Cop**, a robotic policeman, is one of the characters of the fictitious Scary Go Round line of comic books, purportedly published as fiction in the Tackleford universe. (Mordawwa is another such character, who eventually took on a "real" existence in-universe as personified by Erin Winters, who had previously read the comic-book version of the character.) The multiple SGR comics in which Robert Cop purportedly appears are described in the ads and columns of *Expecting To Fly*, which is itself formatted as a comic of the SGR line and described in the columns within (leading to interesting questions of whether that comic, featuring characters who are actually "real" parts of the Tackleford universe, was actually published in-universe). Various postings by John Allison in early 2015 hint at upcoming publication of an actual Robert Cop comic, and several "preview" strips have been published (in between normal strips of Allison's webcomics, usually on Fridays or Saturdays), introducing supporting characters such as Detective Harper Sharp and her best friend, patrolwoman Wanda Sikorsky.

### Trivia

It is revealed in issue 23 of ***Giant Days*** that *Robert Cop* is one of the few comics that are read by Esther de Groot, along with *Nahhaarratui* and *Protocol:Norton,* two other comics from the in-universe *Scary Go Round* label. Esther calls these "indie stuff".

Mad Terry

**Mad Terry** is a minor character appearing in Scary Go Round, Bad Machinery, and New Bobbins.

He first appeared in the SGR chapter 48 (*Incoming*), wherein he was applying for a job at Percy Import/Export, alongside Eustace Boyce.[1] (Ironically, he left with the erroneous assumption that The Boy is named "Terry" too, due to Hamilton Percy just calling him this, because he didn't like the name "Eustace".)[2] It is later revealed that the job Mad Terry got consisted of licking labels at Percy's Peas.[3]

In Bad Machinery (*The Case Of The Team Spirit*), the Mystery Boys also had to deal with Mad Terry; the boys make reference to a previous adventure they call *The Case of Mad Terry*, upon whose mention another boy will immediately demand that they change the subject. This case was so traumatic that the boys briefly swore off mysteries forever. Regardless, they are forced to interact with him again: In exchange for arranging for them a visit to Tackleford City FC's stadium, Lauren Field demanded that the boys shall bring her Mad Terry's trademark bow tie.[4] After Linton Baxter deduced that he must in fact own more than that one bow tie, and must have several of them at home [5], Lauren barely managed to prevent Jack Finch from actually breaking into the house of Mad Terry and his Mum.[6] (Whom everyone is calling Mrs. Terry [7][8], so that may actually be their surname.) Sonny Craven was the one who eventually got the bow tie instead [9], by convincing Bobby Swaps to help him in this matter.[10] What exactly Swaps offered Terry in exchange for the tie remains a mystery.[11]

At the time when Amy Beckwith-Chilton was about to give birth, the sports car of Shelley Winters proved to be inadequate for bringing her to the hospital through ice and snow. So they had to flag down another car, which happened to be the one of Mad Terry (whom Shelley prefers to call "Unconventional Terry") and his Mum.[12] Even though Amy was initially reluctant to go with them, they arrived at the hospital safely and in time, and there Amy gave birth to a healthy litter [13] - er, to Walt Beckwith.

In order to protect her son from being bullied, Mrs. Terry at one point created a place for them that is secluded from the rest of Tackleford, populated by a handful of Tacklefordians who are "forgotten" in the sense that they had hardly appeared in any stories for a long time.[14] In an attempt to prevent a mass escape of said Tacklefordians, Mrs. Terry accidentally injured her son in a quite severe way. Mad Terry's survival is uncertain.[15]

### Trivia

One strange habit of Mad Terry was it to put a £5 note onto the pavement of a street, then to hide and to wait for someone to pick up the money, so that he can jump out and accuse the passerby of theft. Linton commented this with the notion that "everything Mad Terry does is a mystery".[16]

It is unknown if there is any connection between Mad Terry and Terry Tibbs, the manager of the Tackleford municipal pool, appearing in the one-shot comic *Human Soup*, who, in addition to the name, is also somewhat physically resembling Mad Terry.

Ministry of History

The **Ministry of History** is a UK government ministry devoted to maintaining the flow of history at which Shelley Winters worked. The manner in which they do this (which involves the use of Nemulon units which resemble horned Viking hats but expand into "cybernetic demonoid steampunk nightmares", in Shelley's words, when a biometrically-sensed palm is placed on them; the Nemulon-9 version hasn't exploded yet) is the subject of the *Destroy History* webcomic strip, originally planned as one of the spinoffs of *Scary Go Round* in 2009 (alongside *Bad Machinery* and *Giant Days*) but not actually produced (other than two "pilot" strips) until 2015, when it appeared as a weekend strip interleaved with the current *Bad Machinery* story. The strip takes place in the interim period between *Scary Go Round* and *Bad Machinery*, making it approximately synchronous with *Giant Days*.

This agency recruited Shelley when she was seeking new employment in 2009, with Mr. Warbeck coming in person to remark on the "impeccable" quality of her resumé/CV (which she hadn't actually sent out yet). She moved to London to take this job (leaving Desmond Fishman without anybody to deal with his pooey bum), and after a one-month probational period was introduced to the agency's secrets. At that point she signed an agreement to have her memory wiped upon leaving this employment, which means that any subsequent accounts she has given (such as when she said, in *Murder She Writes*, that the agency was terminated two weeks after she started working there) are unreliable.

At some point she did end her employment at the ministry (under as-yet-undisclosed circumstances), and subsequently began her current career as a popular writer of children's books.
Kale & Hearty

**Kale & Hearty** is a vegan restaurant in Tackleford, not far from Bank of Burgers (but a long way from it in culinary style).

Claire Little brings Desmond Fishman there for a meal after finding him in an alley; she orders him a quinoa and spinach box with parsnip wrap for £7.80. He looks like he'd have preferred the barbecue sandwich Claire is having herself, which she brought from home for free.

It's unknown whether Mildred Haversham, a known vegan, frequents this place, but she probably would not be mean enough to inflict it on her friends.
Grim Reaper

**Grim Reapers** are entities that appear as skeletons in black hooded robes, often seen carrying scythes. Their job is it to collect the souls of the deceased and bring them to the afterlife. After that, the deceased person can become a Reaper him- or herself, by applying for the job, which is what Natalie Durand did.[1] In the beginning she didn't yet look skeletal at all,[2] but that changed over time [3], at least for the eyes of mortals.[4]

The base of operation for their organization *Reaper & Soul* is in the Land of the Dead [5], but at least one Reaper, Emissary Yama, is "living" in Hell. The title might imply that s/he could be some kind of ambassador.

Another Reaper once had to haggle with Erin Winters/Mordawwa over the soul of Eustace Boyce. They eventually came to an agreement when Erin offered to swap his soul for hers, even though the Reaper did not exactly look forward to doing the paperwork needed for this.[6]

Serene Wanderer

The **Serene Wanderer** is a mysterious entity with the appearance of a chalk-white floating woman, wearing a dark blue cape, and with a star-like symbol on her chest. She claims to have a million names, and seems to know much about the interdimensional locality called the Nexus. She also was quite in the picture regarding Eustace Boyce's new assignment (to Hell) when his soul arrived in the Nexus, and made sure that he arrived there.[1]

The Serene Wanderer was also present when the Sheriff had to repair the *Great Membrane* after it was pierced by the *Cosmic Shelf.* She could be seen helping him doing this task, together with the Architekt.[2]
Melanie Soap

**Melanie Soap** was Amy's assistant in her store, Bric-A-Brac, for a long time. She is the daughter of Judge Soap, a magistrate of a very imposing stature and a severe hatred towards smugglers. Melanie was an art-school classmate of Amy's, and later ran a magazine called Fact'r (along with a guy named Chloron) which lost money on every issue. Amy was able to get her to leave this and work at her newly-founded store, on the grounds that this was a job which actually paid money, even if it didn't make so much use of her design skills. However, after a number of years working for Amy, she quit this job in order to join the artisanal hamburger craze as a waitress for Bank of Burgers. Her interests include vintage medical equipment.

Ryan saved Melanie from the fire in Amy's original store (set by an enraged mob who had been misinformed by the thrift-shop ladies that it was a brothel, in order to remove the other shop's competition). This resulted in Melanie being attracted to Ryan and beginning a relationship, though this ultimately soured when Melanie's father was injured in an incident connected with a smuggling scheme that Ryan was involved in (where her father was acting as a vigilante trying to stop the smugglers), after which Melanie began shooting at the bad guys.

In the alternate timeline of "The Case of the Forked Road", Amy works alongside Melanie at the restaurant, and there's some possible romantic involvement between Melanie and Ryan in a time when in the main timeline Ryan is already married to Amy.
Riley Beckwith

**Riley Beckwith** is Ryan Beckwith's sister and Tim Jones' ex-wife. She and Tim lived together for a long time before getti

   ng married, and at one point she manipulated things so that Tim lost an "invent-off" and was exiled from Tackleford to Wales, because she regarded Tim's friends in Tackleford as a bad influence. In Wales, they got married and had a daughter, Scout Jones. However, the relationship soured when one of Tim's inventions blew up their house; this occurred after Scout had tinkered with it, but Tim took the blame himself to avoid getting Scout in trouble, and was kicked out by Riley and sent back to Tackleford. There, just as Riley was cooling down from her anger and may have been ready to take Tim back, Tim got into an affair with Shelley Winters, which killed the chances of a reconciliation with Riley and Scout. Later, Shelley was revealed to be pregnant while living in Tackleford with Tim.
Ghosts

On several occasions, residents of the Tackleverse could be observed to turn into **ghosts** after their demise. They can be recognized by their transparent, seemingly gaseous appearance and sometimes by their greenish glow. There are different methods for imprisoning a ghost, and even incantations for disintegrating them. (Though one should better not recite the latter while eating cake...)[2][3]

* During her employment at City Limit, Holly West was once sent to investigate the ghost train or spook train, a phenomenon manifesting in the Tackleford moor on every Halloween.[4]
* Natalie Durand ended up as a ghost after being blown up by an orang-utan. Frustratingly for her, neither her boyfriend Ryan Beckwith, nor the policemen he called were able to see or hear her in this state.[5] The old ladies who later summoned her were able to see her though.[6]
* After having been shot by the Cheeky Pistons, Shelley Winters briefly appeared as a ghost alongside Natalie, who was waiting for her at the scene of crime, in order to serve her as a guide to the afterlife.[7]
* While his body was at Eisegesis, Ryan Beckwith was wandering around as an invisible spirit for a while, before finding the cablecar to the afterlife.[8] Children could see and hear him though... but not exactly as Ryan.[9]
* In the appropriately named (print only) story *Ghosts*, Shelley and Amy were trying to exorcise a trombone playing ghost spooking around in their new house. He left only after he was allowed to produce a CD of his music, which hints to this having been his unfinished business, as ghosts often have in lore.
* Esther de Groot and Eustace Boyce once stirred up a whole gypsy burial site full of ghosts, who seemed to sense that Esther was a descendant of Byron de Groot, the mayor who had built the Tackleford town hall over their burial site.[10] In contrast to other ghosts, they appeared as amorphous green blobs and were able to fuse into one large cube-shaped ghost.[11]
* Ryan theorized that the cube-ghost mentioned above was the biggest recorded spectre since Old Jumbly, the ghost of the Elephant Man riding a ghost elephant, who scared King George off his horse in 1918.[12]
* In *The Case of the Unwelcome Visitor*, the mystery kids made the acquaintance of the ghost of Todd Baxter, the singer of the band *Exercise Yard*.[13] Interestingly, Todd was only able to leave the house he died in after the mystery kids had removed bricks out of it and taken them with them.[14] (In contrast, the ghosts from the gypsy burial ground were able to follow Esther home just fine.) Todd's unfinished business, after having been a very sad man for most of his life, seemed to have been to feel nice and at peace. Only then was he able to move on from his ghost state to the next plane of existence.[15]
* Eustace Boyce himself had also briefly been in a ghostly state, shortly after his dead.[16] (*Twice*! The first time he was saved by Erin Winters.[17]) His ghost was light blue instead of green. It later adopted the shape of a horse.[18]
Tackleford Bicentennial

The **Tackleford Bicentennial** was observed on July 18, 1960 with a large celebration at the Tackleford railway station. Cake was served and there was a coconut shy (something involving throwing balls at coconuts), but the highlight of the event was the arrival of the Flying Scotsman train, a classic historical steam train that was coming to Tackleford to celebrate the town's place in British railway history.

In an alternate timeline seen in "The Case of the Forked Road", mean kids who came through a time wormhole from the present-day Griswald's Grammar School derail the train, causing a major crash which destroys some nearby buildings in downtown Tackleford. History is put right in the end, however, and the celebration goes off without a hitch.
