* FunnyAneurysmMoment: The beginning of the final chapter (dated June 08, 2009) introduces a character who is a very obvious parody of Music/MichaelJackson. You can already tell how this is going to end, can't you. John Allison later put up a news post explaining that the character's appearance in the storyline had been long planned out, and Jackson's death just happened to be an unfortunate coincidence.

* HilariousInHindsight: [[http://scarygoround.com/sgr/ar.php?date=20080523 Shelby's comments]] on "''real'' American heroes," and whether John [=McCain=] qualified as one, took on a whole new meaning after Donald Trump made the same argument (apparently in all seriousness) during the run-up to the 2016 U.S. elections.

* ContinuityLockOut: ''Scary Go Round'' ended in September 2009 because John Allison decided the weight of continuity was putting off too many new readers. He then started another comic, ''BadMachinery'', and began panicking that the drop-off in web traffic meant he'd shot himself in the foot. Seems to be recovering, though.

* ArchivePanic: ''SGR'' ran for seven years, and towards the end there were four comics a week. Adding ''Bobbins'' (about a thousand strips) makes over ten years of comics: when you put them all together ''and'' add the sporadic ''Scareodelia'' comics, you get...a realisation that John Allison is much more productive that you are.
