SAD DAY - `Scary Go Round` finishes

It is the end of an era, albeit a fairly small era. Since 2002 John Allison has been drawing a webcomic called Scary Go Round. The Sunday Times describes it as "postmodern Brit horror" that is "subtle and stylishly drawn, with a bold cartoon edge." The Morning Star has called it "brilliant, bonkers" and "the best British strip that I've yet found." For the last three years I have read it every morning.


This morning saw the last episode. The comic is being replaced by an as yet untitled comic that will start up on Monday week, and that will contain (apparently) elements in common with SGR in the same way as SGR did with its predecessor Bobbins, which featured some of the same characters and was also set in the fictional West Yorkshire town of Tackleford.

But like Amy said to Ryan in the fourth panel of the last strip, things are going to change.
