Episode 523

Read the comic here.

It's awfully tricky to show something as "stopped moving" in a still image without labeling it as such.

By using simplified mobile images in some panels, the sudden stop movement could be made with a simple "clunk" or similar noise.; September 22, 2008 8:07 AM

Christopher Doyle said...: Fang_Q:

They're in the LEGO Castle universe, looking for magic beans. They need the beans to travel to Scotch's homeworld. They need to travel to Scotch's homeworld to raise an army. They need to raise an army because Neo and Morpheus (from the Matrix movies) were turned into Ted and Cowboy Curtis (due to Donut's chili) and thus unable to save humanity from the Robot Army without help.

See? Simple.

(Yes, it's a mess. It'll be resolved by this time next month, though.); September 22, 2008 11:15 AM

When do we finally get to visit that new set? I apologize if this comes across as wanting new stuff too soon, but all this talk about where the plot is going got me tracking down this image, since I haven't seen it in the comic yet. I'd like to know approximately when it'll make the comic, since I recall Chris mentioning it was a set for the comic.; September 22, 2008 6:21 PM
