Bobbins is a webcomic set in Tackleford, England, and written by John Allison. It ran from September 21, 1998, to June 3, 2002, but shifted into reruns with commentary on May 17, 2002. Upon its conclusion John Allison began another webcomic, entitled Scary Go Round. Most of the main characters followed him, and SGR, originally been intended to be a spin-off focussing on the minor characters of Tessa Davies and Rachel Dukakis-Monteforte, eventually ended up with roughly the same cast as the end of Bobbins.

Cast

Major characters

Tim Jones 
Allegedly the music writer of City Limit, but generally occupying himself with crazy inventions and bizarre musical projects, probably the protagonist of Bobbins. Created Unit Daisy, and was challenged by Red Robot to fight for her hand. Currently a character in SGR.
Shelley Winters 
The red-headed, green-eyed protagonist of Scary Go Round was but an innocent country girl before moving to the big city of Tackleford, establishing herself as a promising young writer at City Limit. Used to live with Holly West, until she was lost in the Himalayas. Then stayed with Fallon Young, all the while fulfilling the ingenue role.
Amy Chilton 
The, blonde, 20-year-old spoiled daughter of Len Pickering concerns herself mainly with keeping up her indy cred, but generally tries to be loyal to her father and protect him. Dislikes work and showers.
Ryan Beck 
Barfly, record store manager, and drinking buddy of Tim Jones. Currently, under the name of Ryan Beckwith in SGR Always drawn with messy hair and a five-o'clock shadow.
Fallon Young 
Originally a HiFi store owner in competition with Ryan Beck, was revealed to be a super-spy, then became flatmate of Shelley Winters. Comes up with many half-baked plans and crazy schemes.
Len Pickering 
Longtime Editor of City Limit, left when Holly West, his favourite, abandonded his magazine. Has delusions of grandeur, frequently makes sexual passes at his employees.
Rich Tweedy 
The City Limit designer was originally perpetually single, but had flings with both Shelley Winters and Amy Chilton. Was "fired so hard he ceased to exist" by the megalomaniacal Holly West. [1]
Holly West 
Former favourite of Len Pickering and flatmate of Shelley Winters, left the magazine to be with Van-Dyke Jones, the brother of Tim Jones, and was lost while trekking the Himalayas with him. She later returned, slightly insane, became editor of City Limit, and sacked most of the original staff, causing the strip's end.
Elliot Schlesinger 
City Limit's tech support is a mystery within an enigma. His macho posturing at odds with his talent for dressmaking and sewing, Elliot is clearly a man fighting inner demons.

Bobbin Lace is a type of lace that only began to make an appearance very late in period.
In period, the main use for bobbin lace was for collars (the traditional Elizabethan collar), turned-back sleeve edgings and as edgings along the dress (eg passements along the stomacher or metallic lace along the seams).
However, it is often difficult to tell whether the lace is bobbin or needle-made lace.
