Giant Days is a spinoff of John Allison's popular webcomic Scary Go Round. The series started in 2012 with three independent, sporadically released issues, and returned in 2015 as an ongoing series at Boom! Studios 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.The series follows SGR's Esther De Groot, a flirty, flighty Perky Goth who's just started university. She quickly befriends two of her floormates: Susan Ptolemy, sharp-tongued Deadpan Snarker and former amateur sleuth, and Daisy Wooton, a naive but endlessly sweet girl from a small town. Together the three try to survive university. Along for the ride are Ed Gemmell, a geeky friend of Esther's with a massive crush on her (initially, at least) and McGraw, Susan's wood-working childhood friend with whom she has a complicated relationship. One or two more semi-permanent characters are added along the way.2018 produced a novel spin-off from the series, by Non Pratt. It's set during the trio's first year at the university, though fitting it exactly into the comic's continuity might be fiddly.A new story, set during the original series' continuity, appeared online in 2022. As this is a highly unauthorised Intercontinuity Crossover featuring, of all characters, 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.Character tropes can be found here due to the comic being part of the Bobbinsverse. | |

The Cameo | |
| Giant Days (Comic Book) / int_1b65dfad | comment |
The Cameo: A majority of Esther's class from Scary-Go-Round shows up in issue 13. Shelley shows up for a brief scene in the first Winter Special. Steve shows up in the first Winter Special, still Ed's friend in that timeline due to not sleeping with Esther. The second Winter Special largely consists of an extended cameo for Shelley. Issue 35 is built around a visit by Sarah and (most significantly, as it turns out) Charlotte Grote. | |

Only Sane Man: Early on, Susan most of the time, or McGraw when Susan loses the plot over her relationship to him. Daisy gradually takes over the role as the series goes on, though Susan still serves in this role towards her, and even Esther proves capable of sanity from time to time. | |

Secret Relationship | |
| Giant Days (Comic Book) / int_2bf993ad | comment |
Secret Relationship: Susan and McGraw. Twice. The first time they get together, she keeps it a secret from Esher and Daisy in the beginning. One of her excuses is that she wants to avoid rubbing her relationship in Esther's and Daisy's faces since they had had bad times in love. When they start hanging out after their big break-up, they also do it in secret since McGraw is emotionally cheating on Emilia. Their relationship becomes public again after McGraw formally breaks up with Emilia. | |

Character Development | |
| Giant Days (Comic Book) / int_3b113b7 | comment |
Character Development: Daisy starts the series rather shy and insecure. She eventually grows into the group's Team Mom and frequent voice of reason. Ed slowly goes from being nervous and submissive with Esther to being on more of a level with her. Esther slowly grows a moral compass, and is noticeably more relaxed than she was in Scary-Go-Round. She also slowly grows out of not thinking things through — most of the time at least, though she remains quite prone to highly emotional responses. Susan gradually eases into a long-term relationship with McGraw after several on/off moments and break-ups for the two, to the point she's the first to explain she'll be living elsewhere for the girls' third year; this is after her issues in the first year juggling various elements of her life. She's also the most likely to rail against this slow domestication, to the point she borderline freaks out in one instance while making cupcakes. All three of the girls' Alternate Universe counterparts undergo different forms of development in the first Winter Special, mostly in a short space of time: Susan lets go of her rage towards Daisy after actually meeting her and lets Ed go after realising their relationship is only hurting him, Esther leaves the self-destructive party life behind for genuine friendship with Susan and Daisy, and Daisy finally makes friends. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Issue 10: Ed successfully takes out the corrupt student body president and gets a much-needed pep talk from Esther — but in the process, the university paper gets shut down due to Ed unintentionally inciting a riot, and Amanda gently rejects him. The girls' first year ends with Esther and Ed avoiding legal trouble for Dean's scheme and Ed finding romance with his former newspaper coworker Jenny. But Catterick Hall is being torn down, McGraw's new relationship is in peril, and Ed and McGraw are possibly out of a place to live due to Dean fleeing an angry mob. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Giant Days (Comic Book) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: The first issue of the original series, while still containing John Allison's trademark style, is much rougher-drawn than the two following issues, and contains the Scott Pilgrim-esque fight with the head girls which is out of place even for the Bobbinsverse. Issue 3 suffers this trope to a lesser extent with Erin being played up as a major cast addition; due to her being a major player in Bad Machinery and Bobbins NOW!, she was quietly phased out by the time the series was brought back at BOOM! | |

Intercontinuity Crossover: The online Batman crossover of 2022 combined the two continuities in an unauthorised fashion. Given that Esther was once, long ago, revealed to wear Batman underwear, but doesn’t know of him in this story, it’s unlikely that this comic was previously meant to take place in that universe. | |

Big Damn Kiss: Daisy of all people gets a few of these, sort of: She tries one with Ed in issue 6 to get over her recent heartbreak and figure out if she's gay or not. The trope is deconstructed, as she feels nothing and both feel awkward afterwards. She gets a less disastrous version, this time from a grateful Ingrid in issue 16. And finally, she gets an even better kiss from Saffy at the end of issue 53. | |

Unwinnable Training Simulation: Daisy gets one in issue #38 as part of her Resident Mentor training. It's revealed on the second page, but tipped in the first panel since the three incompatible flatmates are named Coby, Ash, and Maru. | |

Straw Feminist | |
| Giant Days (Comic Book) / int_76d233f9 | comment |
Straw Feminist: Deconstructed. Susan prints a crappy, mostly ironic man-hating rag to get back at some chauvinists preparing to auction off Esther's phone number, but it fails to impress anyone but some local teenagers who take it seriously... and start harassing innocent coverboy McGraw as a result. | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech | |
| Giant Days (Comic Book) / int_7d89315b | comment |
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: In issue 41, Daisy gives one of her own to ex-girlfriend Ingrid after overhearing her smugly and cruelly attempting to list off perceived faults 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 them breaking up and Ingrid outing Daisy's homosexuality to her grandmother out of desperation, so it's long overdue. | |

Establishing Character Moment | |
| Giant Days (Comic Book) / int_7febc23b | comment |
Establishing Character Moment: " Hi, hi, Susan Ptolemy. And I've not slept IN A WEEK." Daisy is first introduced heaving a giant trunk all by herself and timidly asking Esther for help. Ed ends his first conversation with Esther with the internal monologue "Please [God] let me marry this one." McGraw is introduced politely talking to Ed and, while he's cold, he treats Susan with respect despite her utter rage at the sight of him, showing both his role as The Stoic and that he's not nearly as bad as Susan makes him out to be. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| Giant Days (Comic Book) / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: An interesting case: Erin Winters appears in the third issue of the original volume, yet doesn't show up or even get mentioned in the BOOM! series, despite having befriended Susan and Daisy. Her lack of mention by her old classmates is somewhat justified by the fact that at the time Giant Days is set, everyone may be suffering Laser-Guided Amnesia regarding her. She still shows up in the present day of the Bobbinverse in Bad Machinery, New Bobbins, and Mordawwa, though, meaning she hasn't vanished from the universe overall. It's complicated. | |

Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: When McGraw’s pub cricket team are almost all laid low by food poisoning on the night before an important match, Susan pulls various primary and secondary characters together to save the day. Their Avengers Assemble montage consists mostly of Susan bullying people into signing up before they can run away fast enough. They never quite have a Misfit Mobilization Moment, but McGraw and Esther’s speeches to the demoralised Paul near the end of the match come close; see Rousing Speech below. | |

Continuity Reboot: Invoked in-setting in issue 29 when Ed goes to the cinema with his equally geeky date Cathy. The film they're seeing turns out to be a fictional reboot of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. Cathy, a serious Buck fangirl ("Is Buck Rogers a... big fandom generally?" "No. That's why I chose it. It was very easy to dominate the BR25C slash-fic scene when I was fourteen.") is made extremely angry; "Colonel Wilma Deering didn't have lip gloss, Twiki was a super-violent mecha, and Dr. Huer was too sexy." | |

Throw the Dog a Bone: Ed, the series' usual butt monkey, 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. In issue 15, after being forced to skip a paper to edit Susan's movie, Ed gets a portion of the prize money when it wins a film competition. Ed ends Year One 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 Day in the Limelight | |
| Giant Days (Comic Book) / int_9c8701b5 | comment |
A Day in the Limelight: Being the supporting character who gets the most attention, Ed receives a fair share of these. In fact, even though it's by a wide margin, Ed is the character with the most cover appearances in the series after the three main girls. Issue #9 focuses on his short-lived stint as a reporter for the university's newspaper, the paper's attempts to take down the corrupt student council president, and Ed's attempt to sleep with his editor and the awkward aftermath. Issue #34 reveals Ed's backstory. The 2018 holiday special Giant Days: Where Women Glow and Men Plunder #1 revolves entirely around Ed and his visit to Australia to see Nina Archer and her family. Issue #45 sees Ed tackle the turbulence in his relationship with Nina. | |

Doomed by Canon: Averted and Played Straight. The Main Cast is immune due to Esther not having shown up Post Time Skip due to this series, and the rest of them being unique to Giant Days. Played straight with Erin, who's destined to become Mordawwa, and Eustace who's relationship with Sarah is destined to fail due to him being lonely and miserable post-time skip and who dies at the end of Bobbins.Horse. (Both ultimately return from Hell in the very last days of Scary-Go-Round.) | |

Mood Whiplash | |
| Giant Days (Comic Book) / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: All over issue 21: The issue starts with the girls lightly bantering over their burlesque drawing class, only for them to come home and find they were robbed and that the last reminder Daisy has of her parents was taken. We then bounce back to comedy with Susan's overreaction to McGraw giving them a new door and some jokes with the police — only for us to get back to Daisy's utter devastation and her tragic backstory. Thankfully, the second half is more comedy-based, with the girls trying to get their things back. Inflicted quite harshly on McGraw at the end of issue 50. While he’s celebrating his team’s unlikely victory in a (hilarious) pub cricket match, he takes a call from his mother — who tells him that his father has just suddenly died. | |

Land Downunder | |
| Giant Days (Comic Book) / int_bc536406 | comment |
Land Downunder: A number of Australian stereotypes are played with when Ed visits Nina's family, but in the end they're mostly averted. The family live in a small rural town where a lot of the men (and some of the women) are boisterous, brawny types who use their share of Australian slang, and Ed spends a lot of time worrying about funnelweb spiders — but the people he meets aren't too stereotyped overall, and he finds acceptance despite his ignorance of sports. Still, he remains unsure if he's strong enough to survive in Australia, and even Nina refers to the Australian family unit as "the most barbaric environment known to man". | |

Chastity Couple: McGraw when he cheats on Emilia with Susan. He comes up with a "nothing resembling sex" rule, making the cheating emotional only. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Giant Days (Comic Book) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Esther de Groot: ... Wouldn't join a club that would have her as a member. Daisy spends all of issue 8 obsessed with Friday Night Lights, down to impersonating Coach Taylor and Tami. The Crystal Gems make an appearance◊ in issue 19 at the music festival. Younger Susan wears a t-shirt with a hattifattener on in issue 25, while Snufkin is briefly glimpsed in Dreamscape of Guilds in issue 26. The second Winter Special is an acknowledged shout-out to the films of Richard Curtis — despite Allison acknowledging that he hasn’t watched any of them for years. | |

Lame Pun Reaction | |
| Giant Days (Comic Book) / int_cb0743c0 | comment |
Lame Pun Reaction: When McGraw reacts in horror to Daisy's shoddy workmanship in installing a shelf, Ed makes light of it with a pun and McGraw chastises him for it. Not for the pun itself, but for the subject of it: | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
| Giant Days (Comic Book) / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: McGraw lays into Susan after her mock-feminist magazine spreads around town, with him as the villain-coverboy — despite him actually supporting women and offering her help when she took the picture. Esther and Sarah call each other out when Esther finds out she's been seeing Eustace, Esther over Sarah lying to her and dating her ex, Sarah over Esther getting mad when she cheated on Eustace and he had no one else to turn to. | |

Amateur Film-Making Plot | |
| Giant Days (Comic Book) / int_d84c356e | comment |
Amateur Film-Making Plot: Issue #15 has the main trio get involved in the Sheffield Short Film Festival (with a grand prize of £5,000), where Esther gets cast in a film her then-boyfriend was making and Daisy and Susan make a film in response. The plot-relevant films advance to the finals due to the accidental destruction of most of the other submissions by festival organizers. | |

Younger Than They Look | |

Younger Than They Look: McGraw looks like he's in his mid-20s at the least, but is actually 19. Ed and McGraw's housemate Dean Thompson looks and dresses like a fifty-year-old man, down to having a visibly wrinkled face and jowls on his neck. Yet he's never mentioned as being a mature student, and he is presumably of a similar age to the rest of the main cast. | |

Britain Is Only London: Entirely averted (in part due to John Allison being British himself) since the book takes place in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. Additionally, Esther is from the fictional Tackleford (in West Yorkshire), Susan and McGraw are from Northampton (in the East Midlands), and Ed is from Lewes (in East Sussex). | |

Crossover | |
| Giant Days (Comic Book) / int_eb7c34cf | comment |
Crossover: The new story (set during the previous continuity) that appeared online in 2022 brings Batman to Sheffield. (Allison says that this is specifically meant to be the Batman of 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. | |
