As of early 2018, scarygoround.com has stopped updating. I am still alive. I've been working on creator-owned print projects (like GIANT DAYS and BY NIGHT for Boom, and STEEPLE for Dark Horse) and doing webcomics for fun on the bobbins.horse website when I've not been drawing anything else. New comics are running there right now.

I've updated the front page of the Scary Go Round site to reflect my current projects.

That's it.

Thank you, Scary Go Round RSS subscriber.

Billie is terrible at being a Satanist, and Maggie isn’t much better at renouncing it. But the main issue today is how many bicycles I drew. One is too many. It beats Maggie’s Harley Davidson(RIP), mind, that was a real trial to render.

The first issue of my new Boom!Box series, WICKED THINGS, is out today (March 18)! The Giant Days team of me (writing), Max Sarin (art), Whitney Cogar (colours) and Jim Campbell (letters) reunite for an all-new story of Bad Machinery’s Charlotte Grote (and Little Claire), as they are sucked into a fiendish world of metropolitan mystery. 

Get it from your local comic shop (if you can’t get there, you can order it from Page 45 in the UK and Midtown Comics in the USA) or digitally on Comixology.

Here’s an interview I did with CBR about the new series and here’s a six-page preview of issue 1.

A mint Viscount is a real luxury biscuit, the green foil wrapper tells you it’s strictly for the intelligentsia.

Brian looks nude in panel 2, he’s actually wearing trousers where the speech bubble seems to be preserving his modesty, but feel free to imagine him “skyclad”.

Is today’s comic safe for work? I think it is but it’s the sort of comic I never run on a Friday because it’s definitely too hot to be up on a Sunday.

Purple Listerine is definitely the tastiest one. No one ever gargled Listerine like Christian Bale in “Vice”. He musters a really bubbly spit that it’s great fun to emulate.

Visit Handy-Chris.biz for all your perverted panic room needs, plus a very reasonable rate on alcove shelving.

Poor Maggie. The road to hell is paved with good intentions etc etc

Mrs Clovis certainly hands out a series of sick burns in today’s page. These burns need to get to hospital, they’re powerfully unwell. Poor Maggie!

This comic was a bear to draw. It took twice as long as normal. I don’t know why. I just couldn’t frame myself. The next day I came back and fixed it in 20 minutes flat. Sometimes it’s best just to walk away.

Today we remember Ringo Starr’s deeply non-U hit, “You’re Sixteen”. Appalling then, actionable now. Here’s the video.

Fandom: Teen Wolf
Characters/Pairings: Stiles/Derek
Rating: Teen And Up
Length: 48,544 words

Summary: It's been months. Months of lonely days and lonelier nights.
And Stiles can't understand what he did wrong.

Why is it the BEST THING EVER: I found it to be one of the best stories I've read in this fandom because the author uses several well-loved tropes and treats them with the utmost respect and thoughtfulness. The author's take on them felt incredibly satisfying and believable, but still gave space for other possibilities at several points in the story. It could have gone differently and it would have been right too. I found the story raw, intense and beautiful. There is so much you can do with this fandom and these characters and this fic is a perfect example of that. It's made me fall in love with fanfiction all over again.

Fandom: Star Wars
Characters/Pairings: Mace Windu/Cody, Anakin Skywalker, Shaak Ti, lots of Jedi and clones
Rating: Mature
Length: 202,217 words

Summary: Plo has an idea. Mace agrees, and everything snowballs right into hell from there.

(Or: Mace and Cody get married in order to give the clones citizen status. Before they can focus on that, though, they're going to have to deal with ancient Sith artifacts, evil prophets, plots to overthrow the Supreme Chancellor, lost planets, monsters warped by Sith alchemy, inconvenient feelings, and Darth Sidious turning his eye on a potential new apprentice. Just...not in that order.)

Why is it the BEST THING EVER: Besides having a really unique idea for a fixit, I love the way the characters are written, and the development of Mace and Cody's relationship is wonderful, and the action is engaging and well-written.
