Scary Go Round :: Side Projects

It’s great to see Lottie and Shauna back together, just like old times. I’m getting nostalgic. This is a holiday surprise the way you like ’em.

When I wrote this, I had forgotten that Lottie and the rest of the mystery friends had actually been under alien mind control – in fact, the only one who wasn’t was Shauna. I wrote it as a goof on Lottie’s love of the X-Files. But if you’re reading this, I didn’t manage to write a better final line.

We all know John Munch, right? The unifying TV figure who really ties the Tommy Westphall system together. You’ll enjoy reading about this preposterous interlinking of TV shows if you’ve never encountered it before.

I suspect that Law & Order: Criminal Intent is an unlikely candidate for pinball immortalisation, but for the connoisseur, it remains the franchise branch of choice, the only one with Goldblum (in a wig?)

That’s it for the Holiday Surprise. You’ll see Shauna again in 2023: this I am pretty sure of. No comics next week, but the next story, the two-part “Boys Like Fun”, begins on January 2nd. Thank you for reading this year, and tolerating my occasional enforced breaks. Let’s hope for smoother seas ahead. Merry Christmas, everyone.
