About the Comic
Well, let’s see how this will go.
For as long as I remember I always said I would write a book once. When I was a kid it would be about some of the imaginary roles me and my little brothers played, when I got older it would be about all kinds of subjects that would interest me at that moment. I never started though. And my guess is I never will. I’m always thinking about it, reading books on plot-structure and ‘how to write a book’, took a writing course once… but still. I’m always thinking about what I will write about, but in my mind its never good enough. I always have a reason in my head to just NOT start writing. I guess I never will.
When the Lego came back in my life I was thinking about how to proceed after the 365 is done with. I read a few great Lego-webcomics (www.legostargalactica.com and www.bricksofthedead.com) and an idea was born. I spent all the time thinking about how to pull it of and one day I just started. Today is my daughter’s seventh Birthday, it just seemed a lucky day to start the comic… stop thinking about it, and just start…

About this episode
The first line of the comic is based on the first line in an amazing graphic novel by Cyril Pedrosa named ‘The three shadows”. Check it out if you have the time!
Introducing Barry and Darryl; let’s go along for the ride… I hope you enjoy it!
Question
Do you have a project you always wanted to do… still want to do, but just don’t get started on? What is it and do you think you will ever start on it?
I love the idea of a Lego comic strip (As I’m sure you already know, if you’ve seen my own short strips) – I’ve loved the 365 project images, and found many of them quite inspiring – So I really look forward to seeing how this project progresses. Keep it up! xx
Thank you Jay. I’ve seen your comic’s and I like ‘m. I’ve been looking at a lot of (Lego)-comics lately in order to get ideas on style and ways to display the minifigs.
Another great project of you! A bit comment for the girl who hit Barry. I don’t get the idea if she’s running or walking. IMO, you short on one scene or need an impression of the girl running fast with some effects 🙂
I also made lego comics but never continue due to lighting problem and time schedule..
You are one of the loyal (twitter-)followers of Foolish Lego. thank you for that.
I really liked you House-comics so it’s a shame you can’t find the time to do more of them.
The girl is running, I tryed portraying that in the third panel. I thought I could pull it of without any effects… but evidently I couldn’t haha. If you look closely at the first panel you can also see that her running in to Barry probably isn’t an accident because it seems she is waiting for him 😉
oooh i see! lol! its too small so i didn’t notice it before. Interesting story line so far! 🙂
you should try to enable the option that you can enlarge the image, as my monitor has a quit high resolution, the image itself is rather small…
For now I’m not planning to do this. The width and height of the comic is more or less in line with the other Lego webcomics I read.
