## History

### Left Dys Dark and Brainwashing Pumpkin King and Queen and Imprisoning Pumplulu

He was once a subordinate of Dyspear. However, as he didn't receive any positive comments from Dyspear, he left her organization out of discontent, and arrived at Pumpkin Kingdom to become an adviser as an act to plot his plan on absorbing the despair from the citizens of the kingdom by making it fall into depression. After successfully brainwashing the king and queen, he went on to abduct Pumplulu Princess who he locked inside a tall glass tower.

### Trapping the Cures and Death

He first appears on a city building observing the Princess Pretty Cures and Yui as they are eating puddings. He opens his book and turns a few pages, which summons a dessert Zetsuborg. The Princess Pretty Cure fight and defeat the Zetsuborg and Warp smiles and retreats.

He then takes the Princess Pretty Cure to Pumpkin Kingdom, where he introduces himself as the minister of the kingdom. He hosts a ballet performance, stage walk performance, violin performance and cooking performance; all of these to capture Pretty Cure. His plan ultimately fails and out of anger he transforms into his monstrous form.

He is ultimately defeated by Princess Pretty Cure's new Halloween Eclair attack.

## Appearance

In his normal appearance he wears a red striped black hat and black coat. His hair is turquoise and he wears a purple crystal monocle. He always keeps a light blue book with glass like pages with him.

In his monster form he resembles a giant black chameleon; his eyes become purple crystals and on top of his head he has two pink horns and Pumplulu Princess's chamber. His great mass of teeth are orange in color and very sharp.

## Personality

In spite of his casual appearance, he is a cunning and manipulative schemer as seen when he takes control of Pumpkin King's and Pumpkin Queen's mind with his purple crystal.

## Abilities

He is able take control of one's mind with his purple crystal and he can summon Zetsuborgs using his transparent book. He can also transform into his monstrous form in which he is more powerful and frightening.
Unit Daisy

Unit Daisy is a robot created by Tim Jones , with the intention of her being a girlfriend for Rich Tweedy.

Unfortunately, her first meeting with Rich didn't work out that well, and so she seduced Tim instead. This in turn completely ruined Tim's relationship with his girlfriend Illeanna Godmundsdottir (who had been rather skeptical concerning this whole "robot girlfriend" idea in the first place), and entangled Tim in a rivalry for Daisy's affection with a red robot named Red Robot. The whole affair almost ended lethal for Tim, due to Red challenging him to a boxing duel...

Unit Daisy has only appeared in the original run of Bobbins so far, but her story arc got retold (with much embellishment and slight plot changes) in the SGR book *Heavy Metal Hearts + Flowers*.
Eustace Boyce

**Eustace Alan Boyce** [2] , possibly **Eustace David Boyce** [3] is a major character of Scary Go Round, who also features prominently in the Bobbins relaunch. For a long time, he was only known to readers by his nickname "The Boy". While one may assume that this derives from his surname, it actually is the translation of what the French exchange student Elodie Broussard called him when they first met: "Le Garçon".[4] Neil Haversham often called him "Boycey" [5], and Elodie started to call him "Useless", after he told her to stop calling him Le Garçon.[6]

When he first appeared in the comic, he was a pupil of Griswald's Grammar School, the class mate of Esther DeGroot and Erin Winters, and an occasional assistant of inventor Tim Jones.[7] He also had a crush on Amy Chilton.[8] He lost his virginity to Esther during an eventful road trip in a caravan in Wales.[9] They went steady after that (with a short interruption due to Esther having an hypnosis-induced infatuation with Bob Crowley [10]) until they broke up eleven days after the start of university, due to Esther cheating on him. Afterward, he paired up with Sarah Grote, though this apparently didn't last.

He did his PhD (in lasers) at the University of Tackleford, in the same department Neil Haversham was working.[11] There, he also met Neil's daughter Mildred. It is unclear if Eustace ever suspected the fact that the underage girl had developed a crush on him [12], but that, along with a general lack of interpersonal skills, would explain why he was always showing so much uneasiness whenever she was around.[13] (This crush represents a sort of full-circle of Eustace's character arc; he started out crushing on Amy, who was older than him, and ended up being crushed on by Mildred, who is younger.)

During these days, he also met Erin Winters again.[14] After one date though, their relationship didn't evolve much further, due to Eustace's appalling lack of initiative in that matter.[15] Nevertheless, it turned out that Erin did indeedfall in love with him, so much even that she saved his life by bargaining with the Grim Reaper and trading in his soul for her own.[16] This meant however, that Erin had to return to the Underworld and continue her life as Mordawwa. Sad about this, Eustace built an eldritch computer, in order to at least be able to communicate with her - which then promptly killed him.[17] In the Afterlife, he was reunited with Erin at last, now serving her as the ghostly horse Scientist.[18]

At some subsequent point, Erin and Eustace were ejected from Hell by as-yet undisclosed causes, and returned to mortal human status (with Eustace no longer being a horse, though he was wearing a horse costume that was removable); at first they landed in Svalbard [19], but (with the assistance of Santa Claus, who was at first reluctant to help as the two turned up on his "naughty" list; this status reversed when he checked twice, though) eventually returned to Tackleford.
Devil bears

**Devil bears** are apparently smarter than the average bear, and stronger as well. Their eyes resemble the hypno-coins once advertised in comic books, so they may have some sort of mental powers as well.

A devil bear was brought to the Isle of Wight by Jimi Hendrix in 1970, and ran away while he was performing, staying wild on that island until captured by Hugo, Ryan, and Fallon in 2004.

Some of the Wee Folk mistakenly attended a Devil Bear Beer Festival in 2005, possibly leading to one or more of them getting eaten.

Despite apparently being sufficiently civilised to organise beer festivals, devil bears still do what bears of all sorts are reputed to do in the woods.

Shelley once chose to wear a devil bear costume for Halloween.

Eustace and Esther also encountered devil bears during their stay in Wales. In fact, their infamous first sexual encounter in a caravan in Wales was due to Esther feeling very grateful for The Boy risking his life to protect her from the bears.

Tim Jones's attempt at an energy source, while living in the woods after breaking up with his wife Riley, resulted in the opening of a passageway between nether regions under the control of Mordawwa, resulting in the unleashing of devil bears into the woods near Tackleford.
University of Tackleford

The **University of Tackleford** is the leading institution of higher education in the Tackleford area. Several characters have been involved with it as faculty, staff, or students, though some locals chose to get their university education in more distant places.

The student newspaper is the *Clarion*.

## Faculty

* Werner Braun, who later was captured by a religious cult, lost his memory, and was known as "Monty".
* Neil Haversham, Mildred's father, is a professor of physics.
* Len Pickering became a professor of journalism there after leaving *City Limit* magazine, where he was the editor. Later he became the dean.[1] He's apparently now retired.

## Staff

* Eustace Boyce worked as a lab technician for Professor Haversham (where he was teased by Mildred, who secretly crushed on him).
* Barry Proops, a chemist who was also a former student of this university. (See below.)
* Ralph, the shady occultist friend of Ryan Beckwith did run the elevator of the building in which Len was working.[2]
* William Crow, a friend of Tessa and Rachel who was working at the university's library.[3]

## Students

* Tessa Davies and Rachel Dukakis-Monteforte attended the university together as journalism students, and revived the student newspaper.
* The five members of the Chemistry Society: Froggy, Bad Larry, Lupus Crane, Barry Proops and Stevie Sprake.[4] A prank turned Stevie into sentient gas [5][6], while Barry went on to join the university's staff.[7]
Nexus

The **Nexus** is an interdimensional locality of the Tackleverse, that has been described as "a waystation". It consists of a multitude of doorways, this way connecting different dimensions to each other, such as Earth or Hell. The ghost of the recently deceased Eustace Boyce was brought to the Nexus via his self-built eldritch computer, where he was greeted by a mysterious entity called the Serene Wanderer. She seemed to be quite well-versed regarding the navigation in this place, and made sure that he ended up at his correct destination.[1]

For time travel purposes, the British Ministry of History seems to utilize *the* Nexus, *a* Nexus, or something very similar in concept or appearance, accessible via the activation of Nemulon-9.[2]

Coloured rectangles reminiscent of the Nexus doorways could also be seen when the apparition of Tim Jones' father Stan Jones (who died 20 years prior) was wandering through the streets after one of his conversations with his son.[3] It turned out that Stan can actually travel through time too, with the help of a cane that he invented.[4]

Somewhat Nexus-like imagery could be seen in one panel when Charlotte Grote talked about "piercing the eldritch frontier". She then proceeded to tell a story about her visit to an extradimensional fairy realm to Shelley Winters.
Tessa Davies

**Tessa Davies** appeared first as the sister of Claire Davies (an assistant in the City Limit office who was preparing for her wedding). Later she was shown to be a barmaid at the pub in Tackleford where a number of characters hang out. Soon afterward, Rachel Dukakis-Monteforte started as another barmaid in the same pub, and they were later shown to be good friends. They soon enrolled as students at the University of Tackleford. When Rachel revived the long-dormant student newspaper of the university (in the process solving the mystery of what became of its former staff), Tessa assisted her.

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, Rachel was wanted by the police for manipulating a biker gang into shooting Shelley Winters [1], and so Tessa had to flee to Wales with her (where they then managed Space Owl's 2005 election campaign [2]). But they later returned to Tackleford as the evil leaders of the Little Sisters of Belial, where Tessa was known as Sister Nausicaa.

Tessa's whereabouts after Rachel's apparent death by bonfire where unknown for a long time, until she reappeared years later (together with Rachel!) within Mrs. Terry's secluded street of the forgotten.[3]

### Trivia

On several occasions, Tessa's "freakish man-like strength"[4][5] gets mentioned.

While it is certain that Claire Davies is her sister [6], it is not known if there is any family connection between her and Prof. Dai Davies, one former mayor of Tackleford.
Romesh Sengupta

**Romesh Sengupta** is a former thief and now antiques dealer from Tackleford.

We first get to know Romesh in *Bad Machinery* in *The Case of the Missing Piece*, as the friend of Darren Wickle.[2] In order to help out his mate concerning the debt he has to pay to a very dangerous man named Si Dixon [3], Romesh assists him in burglarizing the Bric-A-Brac antiques store.[4] Darren screws up in stealing anything of value though, so Romesh kindly helps him out by giving him his own part of the loot. It turns out that Romesh has special "divvy powers" that enabled him in this case to recognize that some ugly pots were actually very valuable.[5] Upon deducing the perpetrators of this robbery, Shauna Wickle gives Romesh the choice of either her revealing his criminal endeavors to his mum, or him using his special powers for good from now on, by becoming the employee of Amy Beckwith-Chilton, the owner of the Bric-A-Brac[6] who formerly had such powers herself, but they had faded out (causing the scarcity of valuable items in her store at the time of the burglary). Romesh choses the latter[7], and continues this lucrative employment after the closing down of the Bric-A-Brac in Amy's new store Chilton Antiquities.[8]

### Trivia

Aside from his mother, the only other known family member is his sister Sunita Sengupta. It is not known where his family originally immigrated from, though their surname and appearance seem to point to a South Asian heritage.

Though Romesh was primarily hired for his antiques detecting divvy powers, Amy (jokingly?) claims that his "immaculate deltoids" were also a factor.[9]

In a quite ironic incident, the former burglar Romesh once successfully *protected* Amy's property from wannabe burglars.[10]
Bad Machinery

Bad Machinery is a mystery webcomic by John Allison. It was preceded by Bobbins and Scary Go Round. It is about six mystery solving teenagers, The Mystery Girls (Shauna Wickle, Charlotte Grote, and Mildred Haversham) and The Mystery Boys (Sonny Craven, Jack Finch, and Linton Baxter).

(to be completed)
Ed and Carol Winters

**Ed Winters** [2] and **Carol Winters** [3] are the parents of Shelley Winters and Erin Winters.

Ed Winters was a builder, who owned the "Winters Construction" company, and was living with his family since 1984 (when Shelley was about four [4]) in what seems to be a more rural part of Tackleford, called Flag Fold.[5] His property there included a barn, in which his daughter Erin and her friend Esther de Groot once were hiding a minotaur, in spite of Erin's fear that it will eat her dad.[6] It may have been the same barn that was inhabited by feral cats, and that years before the minotaur incident served as a hiding place for Erin herself [7], after her dad told her that he was planning to sell the farmhouse.[8]

As seen in *Expecting to Fly*, Ed's hair color was brown in 1996. Three years later (when Shelley was 22 and Erin 11)[9], his hair started to grey [10], and he was completely grey soon after that, as his sole appearance in the original run of Bobbins shows.[11] His wife Carol, on the other hand, seems to be fond of hair dye: At different points in her life, she can be seen with either red [12], brown [13], or blonde [14] hair.

### Other Members of the Winters Family

In 1918, Mayor Byron de Groot's staff included a woman who was looking very similar to Shelley.[15] Emphasized by her red hair (even in monochromatic pictures!), and the fact that Shelley many decades later had a very similar job position under Mayor James Mayor, this might imply that this woman was an ancestor of the present day Winters family.

In 1960, the Tackleford Cormorant was reporting about a woman named Elaine Winters, who was causing a stir with a prototype mini-skirt.[16] Her exact relation to Ed, Carol, and their daughters is unknown, though Ed calls her Shelley's "Auntie"[17], which could mean that Elaine is his sister or his cousin.

### Trivia

Ed Winters' character design, for his appearances in *Expecting to Fly* and the Bobbins relaunch, was originally meant to be for the Robert Cop character Dr. Heath, as can be seen in this early pilot strip. But since this character design got already "used up" before the Robert Cop concept was fully developed, John Allison eventually decided to turn this character into the female Dr. Liz Heath instead.[18]
Dingham-on-Wharfe Pig Race

The **Dingham-on-Wharfe Pig Race** has been held for centuries in a town somewhere in the region surrounding Tackleford. Its 400th annual event was held in 1999, which would make the first one in 1600 if they have been held every year without break (though if some years were skipped due to wars, plagues, or other causes, this would alter the chronology somewhat). It appears to take place in February. The writers of City Limit magazine were assigned by editor Len Pickering to cover this race, which Len termed "the sweetest plum" of assignments, but the writers weren't quite so thrilled.
Van Dyke Jones

Bobbins cast page Dec. 2000: 'Tim's younger brother and a prodigious musical genius, Van Dyke has already managed to win Holly's heart. Will it last?'

Bobbins cast page Aug. 2001: 'Tim's younger brother is a musical genius, currently roaming the Himalayas in search of Holly West. He idolises his brother, yet cannot help but upstage him.' An addition in June 2002: 'Now occupies Shelley and Fallon's attic.'

As seen in 'Expecting to Fly', his first name (presumably indicating 'Van Dyke' to be a pseudonym) is Stephen.
Elodie Broussard

**Elodie Broussard** is a citizen of the town of La Rochelle in France, the older sister of Mimi Broussard, and a character appearing in Scary Go Round and also in Bad Machinery.

She first appeared in Scary Go Round when Eustace Boyce recounted her first visit to Tackleford [2] (during which she also coined Eustace's nickname "The Boy"[3]). Both were participating in a student exchange program between the school Elodie was attending in France and Griswald's Grammar School, and it was shortly before Eustace's return visit when he told this story to Paul Milford. During this return visit, he stayed at Elodie's place[4], and they had an adventure involving a sentient bell and a Wendigo disguised as an Easter Bunny.[5] This ended with Elodie falling in love with Eustace [6] - but unfortunately, this relationship couldn't be pursued further, due to Eustace returning to Tackleford, where he already had a girlfriend.

When she was 21 years old, Elodie showed up in Tackleford again, this time as the French assistante at Eustace's former school.[7] Elodie was still nourishing a fascination with mysteries [8], and once implied to her sister that she was also still fondly remembering Eustace.[9] (Or "Useless", as she also called him.)

Sarah Grote

**Sarah Grote** was a student of Griswald's Grammar School alongside Esther DeGroot, Erin Winters, and "The Boy" Eustace Boyce. She was the first Tackleford resident to encounter "The Child" (no relation to The Boy; also known as Poh) when he was sent into town to proclaim a message that "Things are going to change".[1] This was reported in the *Tackleford Cormorant*[2], giving her age as 17 in January 2005 (though she did not finish secondary school and go to university until 2009[3]). Along with Esther, Sarah published a fanzine entitled *Guns for Eyes*, produced on an old-fashioned typewriter instead of a computer for authenticity. On going to university, she passed on the fanzine equipment to her younger sister Charlotte Grote (Lottie), who used it to produce a school project in "zine" format later on. Sarah has grown up and moved out, but still visits the old family home occasionally, and gets along very well with her little sister.

### Romance

Despite an age difference, she briefly dated Ryan Beckwith, while she was still in secondary school and Ryan was an adult. They parted ways again shortly after Sarah had finished school.[4]

Later she was a romantic item with Eustace "The Boy" Boyce, soon after he broke up with Esther. This relationship ended under as of yet unknown circumstances.

In *The Case of the Unwelcome Visitor*, Sarah was dating a man named Dr Julian (whose hairstyle made him look somewhat similar to Eustace, by the way), while at the same time her mother Karen Grote was dating a guy named Colin.[5] But both relationships came to an end [6]after Lottie found out that Colin was a mysterious vigilante named the Night Hero. He shared this role with Julian, so they both had to leave town after that.[7]
Scout Jones

**Scout Jones** is the daughter of inventor Tim Jones and his wife Riley (née Beckwith), and a character appearing in the Bobbins relaunch. She was born in Wales after her parents moved to there from Tackleford in England, due to Tim having been forced into exile.

We first learned about Scout in Scary Go Round, when Shelley Winters gave Riley's pregnancy as the reason why she didn't include Tim in her "Super Best Friends Society", founded by Shelley for the purpose of helping her out during the Super Crisis Quests. Shelley didn't want to send a soon-to-be father into a dangerous and thus potentially lethal mission.[2]

When Scout was six years old [3], Tim made the mistake of leaving her unattended with one of his inventions. Although Tim took the precaution of telling Scout not to touch anything, she quickly found the loophole of touching the invention with a screwdriver.[4] This had the disastrous result of blowing up the Jones family home.[5] Luckily, nobody was hurt physically - but this incident caused a huge tear in Tim's and Riley's marriage. Tim deliberately took the whole blame in order to protect Scout from any feelings of guilt.[6] After Tim having started an affair with Shelley, he and Riley divorced [7], which appeared to cause Scout to hate Shelley.[8] After a brief period in which Shelley managed to befriend her in spite of all this [9], Scout started hating her even more [10] after realizing that the baby Shelley was pregnant with at this time was sired by Tim.[11]

This hatred apparently continued for many years into the future, as the version of Scout from 2032 eventually went back in time and attempted to intervene in Tim's life, and/or kill Shelley, at various times from the 1990s up through the baby shower in 2017. None of this succeeded in making any known changes to history, and in fact seem only to have ensured that things went in the manner that Scount wished to prevent. Upon returning to the future, Scout promptly got arrested for violating the anti-time-travel TARDIS Act, and was being defended by Shelley, who had earlier gotten Tim off on similar charges.

Scout is the cousin of Walt, the son of Amy Beckwith-Chilton and Ryan Beckwith, due to Ryan and Riley being siblings. She also has a half-sibling (a sister, as revealed by Mordawwa [12], who later got named Peggy) that Tim has fathered with Shelley.[13] This makes her nominally related with most of the principal cast of Bobbins and Scary Go Round.
Big Lindsay

**Big Lindsay** (sometimes spelled **Linds*e*y**) is a pupil of Griswald's Grammar School and a minor character in Scary Go Round.

Big Lindsay's first appearance was when she and her best friends Esther de Groot and Sarah Grote were attending a concert of the metal band Dethspasm. There, the three girls apparently got the (wrong) impression that Amy Chilton (who went to this concert together with Shelley Winters) was there to flirt with the band members.[2] Themselves having a crush on the band, the goth girls perceived sexy Amy as a major threat to their romantic ambitions (or at least their teenage romantic fantasies). Thus, the strong and tall Lindsay gave Amy a black eye.[3]

Another victim of Lindsay's violent tendencies was Shelley's little sister Erin Winters, who was in the same school year as Lindsay and her friends. Lindsay, with Sarah as co-perpetrator, flushed Erin's head in the toilet, due to misguided loyalty towards Esther: They saw that Erin was flirting with Eustace Boyce, a boy (well, *The* Boy) of whom they knew that Esther liked him too.[4] Eventually though, thanks to a growth serum she accidentally ingested [5], Erin got the opportunity to take revenge on Lindsay by paying her back in kind.[6] (And this wasn't even the last time that a girl's bathroom at Griswald's got misused as an "Arena Of Pain"...[7])

On her 18th birthday, Lindsay had her first sexual encounter in a bush near a pub named "The Bully Pulpit", during which her son Gary was conceived. A blue plaque was erected there later.[8]

Lindsay never went to university herself, but she visited Esther there in Giant Days # 10.

## Trivia

In a flashback, Eustace and his friend Paul Milford had a conversation about a person called Small Lindsay. Paul described her as cute (!) and as having dainty fingers.[9] It seems that Lindsay had a growth spurt between then and the Dethspasm concert. On the other hand, Esther once said that Lindsay had been big for a very long time, even stating that she thinks that she went through puberty when she was 9![10]

Lindsay had a brother. She carved the name of Dethspasm's drummer Eric into his arm.[11]

Speaking of Dethspasm, many years later, Lindsay confessed to Ed Gemmel that she didn't actually like this kind of music, and only came along to these concerts for Esther's sake!
Mildred Haversham

**Mildred "Mildew" Haversham** is a major character within the Bad Machinery stories, making up one third of the mystery solving girls.

   Perhaps not quite as well-read as Shauna Wickle, she still has a great love of academic learning inherited from her professor father (Neil Haversham of the University of Tackleford), and is into adventuring, troublemaking, and gossip-mongering along with Charlotte Grote, though has more desire than the other girl to think things out and figure out if what she's doing actually makes sense.

Mildred has been raised in a "liberal, permissive" atmosphere, though such an environment does in fact have quite a few rules to it, including strict veganism. She doesn't necessarily follow anybody's rules, including her parents', when nobody is watching.

Sonny Craven is Mildred's first cousin.

Mildred has shown signs of connecting romantically with Jack Finch, one of the Mystery Boys who was formerly Shauna Wickle's boyfriend.

She is working a summer job at a tea house, and tried unsuccessfully to get Charlotte to apply for a position there as well.

Graham McGraw is a character in Giant Days, a second year mechanical engineering student and a close friend of Ed Gemmel and the rest of the main cast.

He met Susan Ptolemy in metalwork class at the age of thirteen. When she asked if he would be her boyfriend, he declined, and instead spent the summer with Kylie Trainor. After taking a gap year to volunteer, he transferred from Warwick to the university that Susan, Daisy Wooton, Esther de Groot, and Ed attend.

Susan, angry about Bantserve's plans to leak Esther's information, made a feminist zine decrying his actions and character. After the fallout from that incident and her apology, they got together at the Holiday Ball, but they broke up, then dating Emilia Martinez.

During McGraw's relationship with Emilia, he ran into Susan on Christmas Eve in Northampton. The two "talked and remembered that [they] like each other", leading to them sneaking out and meeting in secret, and then his eventual breakup with Emilia. He and Susan have since moved in together.

He often plays pool with Ed and Daisy.
Aliens

Like in the real world, many people of the Tackleverse like to formulate speculations about the existence of extraterrestrial lifeforms, and how they might look like. Among them are Shelley Winters [2] and Charlotte Grote [3]. The latter even wrote a poem about aliens invading Earth [4], which won her a trip to SpaceUK.[5]

 It has been shown on several occasions though, that there are indeed aliens in the Tackleverse. These include:

* Xaktar and Gimblaar [6], the two aliens who visited Shelley Winters one night.[7] They were looking like Greys, whom both Shelley herself and Lottie were later mentioning in their speculations about different alien species. Instead of "their probing ways" though, they merely wanted Shelley to help them repairing their spaceship.[8] On the other hand, one thing Shelley more accurately remembered about them was their language.[9]
* J'hx'tharblath, who emerged from Shelley and Fallon's refrigerator (perhaps through one of the many space, time, and dimensional warps which tend to show up in the Tackleford universe), and beat Shelley at Scrabble by using seven-letter alien-language words.
* Space Owl, who was, as the name suggest, a (giant green) owl from space, and thus an alien lifeform. Rachel Dukakis-Monteforte and Tessa Davies helped him to win the 2005 election in Wales.[10]
* The aliens from planet Korfus.[11] They were humanoid, tall, blue, and possessed highly advanced technology. Around 1955, they destroyed their own planet in the "Battle Of Whose Turn Is It". Luckily, some of them survived because they were on a diplomatic mission to Earth, but unluckily, most of them were killed by the wife of an onion farmer upon whose house their spacecraft crash-landed on.[12] Only two survived, too few to repair their spacecraft on their own. So they used their technology to grow children out of onions. Of these, only Lem was resembling a human being, and he was sent out to attend Griswald's Grammar School, in order to recruit helping human hands.[13]
* The alien associated with Ben Bishop. The CEO of Zambian Computing was once presenting a small crab-like alien (allegedly found in Earth's upper atmosphere) to the board of his company, while talking about a "new alliance" and a "new dawn".[14] John Allison stated in the annotation that this alien was a reference to the ones appearing in a "classic TV show episode". This and other circumstantial evidence (Ben crying black tears, as well as him and the alien emitting very similar sounds when in agony) seem to suggest that Ben's body was actually possessed and controlled by another specimen of this alien lifeform, and that he planned to use the one shown to the the board members to infect them likewise. If this was indeed the case, this plan luckily got thwarted by Jordan P., who accidentally killed the alien by spilling a taurine containing energy drink over it.[15]
Sewerman General Johnson

**Sewerman General Johnson** is in charge of the sewers in an indeterminate area: perhaps throughout the U.K., or England, or Yorkshire, or at least Tackleford. He was introduced during the Case of the Severed Alliance, where he showed Sonny and Linton the Tackleford Fatberg beneath the Chamber of Commerce. However, it's possible he was the boss of Lottie's mum's boyfriend Colin in the Case of the Unwelcome Visitor, whose job involved dealing with sewer emergencies.
National Solver

**National Solver** is a magazine aimed at the amateur sleuth community, apparently a large demographic in the Tackleford universe. It was founded in 1899, and the current price is £4. A recent issue featured its list of the "15 under 15", headed by Katya Schloss. There must be a lot of bad guys who would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those meddling kids.

Charlotte Grote reads this magazine (it is unknown whether she subscribes or buys it on the newsstand).
City Limit

**City Limit** was a magazine based in Tackleford that was published through the 1990s and early 2000s (and an unknown length of time before that, probably stretching over decades). Most of the main cast of Bobbins worked there, though some got fired, laid off, or quit over time, and eventually it went out of business.

Woo Drew

**Woo Drew** was a show put on by Len Pickering in November 2000 in order to attract the romantic interest of Drew Barrymore (and you thought it would be Drew Carey?). Apparently having more money than sense at the time, he booked the Royal Albert Hall (the famous London venue for which the Beatles wondered how many holes it would take to fill), and assigned Fallon Young to book acts to perform. Among the performers on the program was Radiohead, but this turned out to be Steve Radiohead, a guy with a radio in his head. Booking the actual Radiohead band would have likely been not so difficult if Fallon had actually given it a try, however, since a few months later they were seen auditioning as a wedding band.

Len's daughter Amy took this whole business in the same manner she took most of her father's activities, as yet another embarrassment she would hopefully get through. However, surprisingly enough, this show actually achieved its aim of getting Ms. Barrymore to show up, as she drove up in KITT, the talking car from *Knight Rider*. She declined romance with Len, however, claiming that Cameron Diaz was actually in love with Len, and Drew didn't want to endanger her friendship with Cameron by pursuing him herself. This prompted Len to announce a "Diaz-Fest 2001", though perhaps he thought better of it (or was talked out of it) later, since no such event was ever shown as occurring.
Scary Go Round

## The Real Life Webcomic (1st incarnation)

**Scary Go Round** was a paranormal webcomic by John Allison, running from 2002 to 2009. It was preceded by **Bobbins** and succeeded by **Bad Machinery** and **Giant Days**, which covers Dark Esther's university career.

## The Real Life Webcomic (2nd incarnation)

Following the conclusion of Bad Machinery (and a number of strips released under other labels such as New Bobbins), the "main line" of webcomic strips in the Tackleford universe began to be released under the label "Scary Go Round" once again. Officially, strips from 1 Jan 2018 on are considered to be part of this new SGR.

## The In-Universe Comic Label

*Scary Go Round* was also used as the publisher imprint for the line of comics which the *Expecting to Fly* miniseries was purportedly part of, with "Retro Marvel" cover style and "house ads" and editorial columns promoting various not-actually-existent other comics in the line, such as *Mordawwa*. (*Giant Days #23* reveals that these comics are in-universe regarded as "indie stuff", since they are co-existing with many properties from the real life major labels *Marvel* and *DC*.) Characters from several of these "fake" comics have eventually turned up in the Tackleford universe, including Mordawwa (which Erin became when ruling Hell) and Zebus, Warrior Child (who turned up as a student at Griswald's Grammar School).
Hamilton Percy

**Hamilton Percy** is a shady industrialist from Tackleford, who is occasionally appearing in Scary Go Round and Bad Machinery.

Mr. Percy was the owner of the company Percy Import/Export. (It is not really clear exactly *what* Percy was im- and exporting. Upon being questioned, he just claimed that he is in the "dream business".[2]) Percy was the only person willing to hire Shelley Winters as his secretary when she was a zombie. (Though probably not out of pity, he just wanted someone who can keep her mouth shut.)[3] This ended badly though - during a golf trip, Shelley's zombie instincts took over, and she began to devour the brain of her boss.[4]

Amazingly, he survived this (according to Tim Jones, because Shelley ate the 90 % of his brain that nobody ever uses [5]), and so he was able to continue his business, a few years later hiring, amongst others, Mad Terry and Eustace Boyce.[6] The conditions they got hired for apparently left a lot to be desired, though. Percy's former employee Shelley checked Eustace's contract, and wasn't exactly thrilled with what she saw.[7]

Percy Import/Export also bought up Hugo Industries, the company of Hugo Rodriguez.[8] This caused Hugo to deeply resent Percy, including anyone who was working for him.[9]

Another company possibly owned by Percy might be Percy Peas. The huge letters on the roof of its factory, spelling out "PEAS + BEANS", could be considered to be a distinctive feature of Tackleford's cityscape, due to being visible across a vast era of the town.[10] Ryan Beckwith was once an employee here, after he left school in 1996, and Tim Jones also worked summer jobs there.[11] It was run in the past by Percy's grandfather, an "old-fashioned industrial philanthropist" who made a point of providing hot meals to his workers "whenever the wheels turn".[12]

Furthermore, Percy was a board member of the Tackleford City FC.[13] This is probably why he also got invited to the party of Yuri Kropotkin, the owner of said football club.[14] He also seems to function as an official sponsor of the team, given that his name is written on Tackleford FC merchandise, like e.g. sweaters.[15]

### Trivia

Percy Import/Export changed locations between Shelley's and Eustace's respective employments. At first it was located in an old red brick building.[16] Then later, it moved into a more modern house with a glass facade [17] - the former headquarters of Hugo Industries![18]

If you look closely, you can see scars on Percy's forehead, very probably stemming from his unfortunate zombie-encounter with Shelley.[19]

**Bill Tweedy**, grandfather of Rich Tweedy, was editor of City Limit magazine in the '60s through '80s, and returned as acting editor in the early 2000s to replace Len Pickering, who had lost his mind even more than usual. While more rational in general than Len had been, his tastes in magazine article subjects were rather archaic, and so he presided over the continued decline of the publication (a fate shared by many print publications in the time when the Internet age was getting going), to eventually be replaced by Holly West, turned insane by a year lost in the Himalayas, to finish the job of destroying it.

Bobbins 2001 cast page, Apr. 2001: 'Editor of City Limit from the 60s to 1980, Bill Tweedy has returned from the nursing home to edit the tired magazine. Fiery and enthusiastic, except when he's taking a nap.'

Bobbins cast page, Aug. 2001: 'When Len Pickering's brain failed, original City Limit editor Bill Tweedy came out of the nursing home to the rescue, and has been known to manage 30 minutes consistently awake during a working day.

Nonetheless, his reassuring presence was a big relief after Pickering 's maverick, farm animal-obsessed leadership style.'

Many years after the shut down of City Limit, Bill reappeared within Mrs. Terry's secluded street of the forgotten.[1]
Fotheringay

**Fotheringay** is Desmond Fishman's butler. When Desmond inherited his father's estate, the various servants came with it, but Fotheringay is the only one who stuck around after he ran out of money. His motives for sticking around despite being treated badly by Desmond remain unclear; John Allison has labeled him "among the most mysterious characters" in the fictional universe he created. He has also said that he thinks the name is pronounced "Fungy".

### Trivia

In the late 2010s, Fotheringay was whopping 103 years old!
Glenn Hughes

**Glenn Hughes** is the birth father of Shauna Wickle. Not much is known about him. Though when Shauna met him for the first time, she got the impression that he is a "standard nerd" She later also discovered that he has a wife and a son.

Glenn met Shauna's mother Ella when he started a programming job, while she was a cleaner at the same place. Their relationship ended when he left her after he got a job in the south. Shauna was 2 at this time, and so she had no memory of him.

According to Ella, Shauna's intelligence comes from him, and he keeps up with child support.

Ralph

Ralph first appeared as the elevator man at the University of Tackleford.

A "friend" of Ryan Beckwith, Ralph is a maleficent little man at the heart of almost anything bad that happens in Tackleford. Not to be trusted!

Ralph encouraged Ryan to raise Shelley from the dead, resulting in her becoming a zombie.

When Ryan became obsessed with discovering the fate of Natalie Durand, Ralph led him to the supernatural agency Eisegesis, which arranged Ryan's one-day pass to the Land of the Dead.

At the culmination of Bob Crowley's attempt to begin the apocalypse and marry Erin Winters, Ralph is revealed to be the devil himself. He was then beaten by The Wogun, allegedly so severely that he would no longer be able to climb a piece of processed cheese. He has not been seen since, and apparently was replaced by Mordawwa as ruler of the underworld.

Jack Finch is a lead character within Bad Machinery, forming one third of the mystery solving boys along with Sonny Craven and Linton Baxter.

As some other characters have at some point or other, he once put out a personal zine, but this was perhaps just to annoy his older sister, Jessica Finch, who also attends Griswald's Grammar School.

His father is a ladies' hairstylist, a fact Jack does not like to acknowledge.

Shauna had a crush on Jack early on, and they were together romantically for a time, but decided to just be friends soon afterward. More recently, Mildred seems to be getting together with Jack, though that gets complicated by the fact that Jack considers Mildred to be "a dangerous nutter".
Linton Baxter

**Linton Baxter** is a lead character within Bad Machinery, forming one third of the mystery solving boys along with Sonny Craven and Jack Finch. He attempted some romantic involvement with Claire Little after she was dumped by Colm, but got into a fight with Colm, after which Claire went off to help get Colm home in his injured state; left behind, Linton soon kissed Blossom Cooper, but she soon indicated a lack of interest in pursuing any continuing relationship, and Linton was scared of getting into a relationship with her anyway.
Eisegesis

Eisegesis Supernatural Services [2] is a clinic-like [3] organization that, as the name implies, is providing supernatural services. This includes for example basic seances (for £250) or the "Full Beyond-The-Veil Package" (for £3000), which consists of a one day long visit of the customer to the afterlife.[4] Filled with the desire to see his deceased girlfriend Natalie Durand again, Ryan Beckwith once chose to take up on the latter offer, taking advantage of their convenient financing; it is unknown whether he ever did pay the bill, but perhaps after the staff tossed him in the trash chute at the end of his visit they stopped expecting future payment from him. (Furthermore, Shelley Winters and Amy Chilton seemed to assume that their services also include getting rid of demonic possessions [5], and indeed Eisegesis turned out to be perfectly prepared for a situation like that.[6])

While there is no mention of Eisegesis' exact address within Tackleford, it is shown that the dumpster [7] at the end of their rubbish chute [8] is right next to the abbey of the Little Sisters of Belial [9] which in turn is located at 48 Jollity Lane, Coward Cross.[10]

### Known Employees of Eisegesis

- Ian, an independent necromatical advisor.[11] Seems to be a creature bearing many tiny purple tentacles, disguised as a human.

- Ashcroft [12], who was in charge of enabling Ryan's visit to the afterlife. (And was responsible for the decision to shove him down the rubbish chute after he had become a "hot potato".[13]) His lips and tongue may indicate that he isn't a 100 % normal human either.

- Vella [14], an attractive young lady (although with noticeable stitching seams around the neck and arms, like Frankenstein's monster) whose job encompasses serving as receptionist [15] and as nurse.[16]

- Norris and Neville [17], two horned guys who are responsible for the security at Eisegesis.

- The "ole greaser" who was needed in the procedure for Ryan's visit to the afterlife.[18] Upon request [19], he got a cup of tea.
