A royal rainbow here, good news for everybody but the bus driver, who has remained in post. He’s probably fine.

A royal rainbow here, good news for everybody but the bus driver, who has remained in post. He’s probably fine.
Dang, the bus is coming apart at the seams.
Either this is a good thing or it’s about to jump into another dimension.
Space-time continuum stuff is CMYK. This has to be something even weirder.
This seems normal, I say mark it down as a problem solved
Normal For Tackelford, definitely. Maybe a tad too much for Sheffield.
Yeeting Dean and the Nuisance into an alternate universe might be seen by some as an elegant solution, but I say it’s a crime against the alternate universe.
Maybe its an alternate universe where everyone is intensely fascinated by talk about bees and ailments. Dean and Ms. Nuisance will be as Gods there!
That’d be an even worse crime against an alternate universe.
Have they merged into some kind of hyper-loquacious hybrid creature, whose incessant speech now covers the ENTIRE SPECTRUM of topics that a typical person would not want to hear about at length?
Isn’t nature beautiful?
The Bobbinsverse version of Brundelfly?
I love how all the papers around have taken the colored energy from the rainbow portal. Is that the bridge to Asgard?
More like the bridge to Disgard.
as a bus driver i can say that this is just a normal day in the life of the transportation specialist. we’re trained for this and after the route ends if the driver has a stiff drink and maybe a karaoke, they’ll be just fine
Panel 3 is absolutely fabulous! (not to be confused with the TV show of that name)
I could see this kind of thing happening in Tackleford where the walls of reality are badly eroded (and were probably installed late on a Friday to begin with) but this is Sheffield! There hasn’t been a Class 3 Reality breach since Jarvis Cocker was forced to go three rounds with the Beast of Broomhall at Forge Dam in ’94!
What about all those TARDIS sightings in Sheffield the past few years?
Misidentifications of a wandering public telephone kiosk at best!
Is it really Sheffield? I thought we were in London still for some reason.
Yes, it’s Sheffield. London buses are red, Ribbit.
Word of God says so! It must be so. And yes – being a Londoner, you’d think I would have clocked that. Perhaps I didn’t trust the comic’s accuracy. More fool me – Bad Machinery, home of the accurate Sports Direct mug, can be relied on for precise depiction of a bus.
Claire switched to Sheffield University at the end of the Solver Spring Special. From the Autumn Special on, they’ve been in Sheffield. note the top caption at the link: https://badmachinery.com/comic/jump/
Good analogy of the Queen(Nuisance) and Charles III (Dean).
And the people will run from the monarchy.
But… Dean and Linda? Their jobs? Their families? Is that the opening for a fairies world? Is this something Lottie will feel sorry at least a bit?
Who will care for Dean’s fish?
A royal rainbow?! Is everyone about to be rolled up inside a katamari? AHHHHHHHHHHH
na na na na na na na na na na na na
This is exactly what I hoped would happen, i.e.: JOHN ALLISON WOULD SURPRISE THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF ME
This is such an incredible page… I think it’s some of your best art to date.
I know panel 3 is the show-stopper, but panel 4! Oh, my heart!
Daltrey: Every day I get in the queue
(Rest of The Whom: Too much rainbow bus!)
Daltrey: Then I see the multicoloured horror and run, run for my life, run to preserve some shred of sanity
(Rest of The Whom: Too much rainbow bus!)
Don’t want it, don’t want it, don’t want it…
What are all the A4 sheets that get blown around and turn the colours of the rainbow in the last panel? Claire’s Econ notes?
I think those are the remnants of the emotional confetti from the previous page.
Is the psshhhh to do with the rainbow explosion or is that just air brakes?
It’s the bus lowering to let everyone out. Air shocks.
It just pleased me that I knew what the royal rainbow was *sheepish*
