History ComicBook / GiantDays

Giant Days is a {{spinoff}} of [[{{Webcomic/Bobbinsverse}} John Allison's]] popular webcomic WebComic/ScaryGoRound. The series started in 2012 with three independent, sporadically released issues, and returned in 2015 as an ongoing series at Creator/BoomStudios as part of their Boom! Box imprint, running through to 2019 for 54 issues and a one-shot epilogue, with 3 special one-shots produced along the way.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: In issue 41, Daisy gives one to [[spoiler: ex-girlfriend]] Ingrid after [[RightBehindYou overhearing]] her smugly and cruelly attempting to give a RYSS to a drunken Esther and Susan. This comes after Ingrid spent most of her appearances being a selfish Jerkass too engrossed in her own world to compromise with her girlfriend, leading to [[spoiler: them breaking up and Ingrid outing Daisy's homosexuality to her grandmother out of desperation,]] so it's ''long'' overdue.

* CowboyCop[=/=]PrivateDetective: Susan, in the past.
** It seems she's a cross between Franchise/NancyDrew and Literature/PhilipMarlowe:
--> '''AlphaBitch #1''': Susan Ptolemy, 19, "a dangerous loose cannon who plays outside the rules."\\
'''Alpha Bitch #2:''' Bleugh, is that from her Website/{{Facebook}}?\\
'''Alpha Bitch #3:''' No, it's a quote from the Chief Inspector of Northamptonshire Constabulary.\\
'''Alpha Bitch #2:''' "'...but, she gets the job done', he added reluctantly."
** It turns out in issue 5 that [[spoiler: she pissed off a very powerful family on her way out of town as a result of her sleuthing and her heartbreak over [=McGraw=] leaving her]].

* BitterSweetEnding:

* DoesNotUnderstandSarcasm: Daisy, early on. Hanging out with Susan and Esther maybe has an effect on her.

* ReasonYouSuckSpeech: In issue 41, Daisy gives one to [[spoiler: ex-girlfriend]] Ingrid after [[RightBehindYou overhearing]] her smugly and cruelly attempting to give a RYSS to a drunken Esther and Susan. This comes after Ingrid spent most of her appearances being a selfish Jerkass too engrossed in her own world to compromise with her girlfriend, leading to [[spoiler: them breaking up and Ingrid outing Daisy's homosexuality to her grandmother out of desperation,]] so it's ''long'' overdue.

** Ed has ''Film/RoadHouse'' on both DVD and Blu-Ray, just in case it's too intense in HD.

* AwesomeMcCoolname: Susan ''Ptolemy''?

** Younger Susan is shown wearing a t-shirt with [[Literature/TheMoomins a hattifattener on]] in issue 25, while Snufkin is briefly glimpsed in ''Dreamscape of Guilds'' in issue 26.

** Ed, the series’ usual butt monkey, [[spoiler:gets to lose his virginity to Big Lindsay and gets complimented on his prowess by her afterwards, the two parting on good terms]] after his horrible attempt at a first time.
** Ed gets this again in issue 15 after being forced to skip a paper to edit Susan's movie, getting a portion of the prize money when it wins a film competition.
** Ed ends Year One [[spoiler:as the only member of the main cast who seemingly has a positive romantic future: Esther and Susan are single, Daisy has Ingrid interested in her but is unsure how she feels about it, and [=McGraw's=] relationship may end over the break. Ed meanwhile strikes up a relationship with his old coworker Jenny. Sadly, it doesn't work out.]]

A new story, set during the original series' continuity, [[https://badmachinery.com/comic/dust-and-bones/ appeared online in 2022.]] As this is a highly unauthorised {{crossover}} featuring, of all characters, Franchise/{{Batman}}, it is highly unlikely ever to appear in print, or in any other medium where Allison could be accused of making a financial profit, to avoid the risk of legal complications.

* {{Interquel}}: In terms of its rather loose relationship to the Webcomic/{{Bobbinsverse}}, the series is retroactively an interquel, taking place during the TimeSkip between Scary-Go-Round and Bad Machinery.

** In issue 34, under [[InVinoVeritas the influence of alcohol]], after a long pub crawl, Ed blurts out to Esther that he was once in love with her. Cue both sobbering up right away. Though unfortunately, not enough.

* {{Crossover}}: The new story (set during the previous continuity) that appeared online in 2022 brings Franchise/{{Batman}} to Sheffield. (Allison says that this is specifically meant to be the Batman of [[ComicBook/AllStarDCComics the 2016-2017 ''All-Star Batman'']].) As this story is not intended to make any sort of financial profit in order to avoid problems with DC's legal department, it's really more like {{fanfiction}} using Allison's own characters.

* BadassMustache: [=McGraw=].
