Scary Go Round

Scary Go Round is a webcomic set in the fictional Yorkshire and the Humber 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." 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 June 4, 2002 as part of Modern Tales, roughly following on from Allison's previous comic, Bobbins. It features bizarre happenings, 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 has since come to focus on another set of characters entirely. Amy Chilton, one of the core characters to succeed Tessa and Rachel, has successfully made the transition from the author's 17-year-old scribblings, through the Bobbins era, and into Scary Go Round, all without aging a day. Shelley Winters, another of the characters who made the transition from Bobbins, also features heavily throughout the webcomic.
