Have I mentioned I adore John Allison's comics?
I do.
Do you like humor and mystery and fun things?
Bad Machinery is brilliant.
And Shauna is a fantastic character. And Little Claire really comes into her own in this volume.
And look, before you dismiss your crush with a D&D curse, remember that you'll probably be haunted by that for the rest of your life.

I loved this to pieces. and laughed so much it hurt.

The new boy at Griswald's Grammar seems a bit lonely and sad, and the gang feel a bit sorry for him, but his strange behaviour and diet of onions are a bit off-putting. That doesn't stop people suddenly becoming friends with him, behaving oddly and subsisting on a diet of onions. Only Shauna seems immune to Lem's charms, but can she find out what's going on and rescue her friends from onion influence?

Another clever, funny, strange and charming adventure from the ever-lovable Bad Machinery gang. I do love how they start off seemingly normal, going gradually off the wall until the end is just gleefully unhinged.
