''Scary Go Round'' was a webcomic set in the fictional West Yorkshire town of Tackleford, England, and written by John Allison. ''Scary Go Round'' was named one of the best webcomics of 2004 by The Webcomics Examiner. The ''Sunday Times'' describes it as "postmodern Brit horror" that is "subtle and stylishly drawn, with a bold cartoon edge". ''The Morning Star'' has called it "brilliant, bonkers" and "the best British strip that I've yet found".〔Eagle, James (6 May 2006). "Wired: James Eagle looks at what the net has to offer in the form of comic strips".''The Morning Star''〕 Scary Go Round won the Web Cartoonist's Choice Awards in 2003 for Outstanding Original Digital Art, in 2005 and in 2007 for Outstanding Comic. ''Scary Go Round'' started on 4 June 2002 as part of Modern Tales, roughly following on from Allison's previous comic, ''Bobbins''. It featured bizarre〔Warmoth〕 happenings, a "quirky cast",〔 strange creatures, parallel universes, zombies, time travel, reincarnation, "and random spots of tea". Initially set as the lives of the barmaids Tessa and Rachel, it soon came to focus on another set of characters entirely. Amy Chilton, one of the core characters to succeed Tessa and Rachel, successfully made the transition from the author's 17-year-old scribblings, through the ''Bobbins'' era, and into ''Scary Go Round''. Shelley Winters, another of the characters who made the transition from ''Bobbins'', also featured heavily throughout the webcomic. ''Scary Go Round'' ended on 11 September 2009. It was followed by a new strip, ''Bad Machinery'', with elements in common with ''Scary Go Round'', similar to its own transition from ''Bobbins''. ==History== John Allison started hand drawing and scanning the original ''Bobbins'' webcomic in 21 September 1998 up until mid 2000 when he changed to computer drawing with Adobe Illustrator. Stephen Gerding described ''Bobbins'' as "kind of like "Friends", or "Coupling" with an office atmosphere, and John noted his later episodes got very bizarre and this, beginning in 2002, led to the supernatural tone of ''Scary Go Round''."〔 In a blog post dated 9 July 2009 Allison announced ''Scary Go Round'' would be ending in September 2009. It was replaced by ''Bad Machinery'', a new strip with elements in common with ''SGR'', similar to its transition from ''Bobbins''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scary Go Round」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
