Bad Machinery #7
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis charming 2017 Oni Press volume from writer-artist John Allison doubles as a delightful who's-who, with the cover presenting all eight key players of Griswald's Grammar School in individual portrait panels — maverick Charlotte Grote, BFF Shauna Wickle, the science-minded Mildred Haversham, youth sleuth Linton Baxter, basic detective Jack Finch, the naturally kind Sonny Craven, sassy antiques expert Amy Beckwith-Chilton, and their perpetually tired teacher Ryan Beckwith. Each panel comes complete with deadpan "likes and dislikes" bios written in Allison's signature dry wit, making this cover as entertaining as any interior page. If you've ever wanted a warm, funny introduction to the Tackleford gang before diving into "The Bat Is Eating Acorns," this is a wonderfully inviting place to start.

The girls figure out that three bad boys from school have also discovered the wormhole and are causing the variant time stream by derailing the Flying Scot in 1960. They thwart the boys and restore the time stream by the simple expedient of warning railway workers that there's an obstruction on the track. Before returning, Lottie impresses on Calvin how vital it is to tell his parents he loves them; she has found in her research that they will die one week later. Thanks to their sojourn in 1960 the girls are now avid fans of the Beetles... an all-girl group.
