The Search Part 17
AWESOME news this past week! The sequel to “The LEGO Movie” will be a musical… set in SPACE! I of course wonder if LEGO will delve back into Classic Space for the film, seeing as they already introduced Benny and his “SPACESHIP!” in the first installment.
It’s funny when I think back to 2008, when this comic began. My idea was to create a story for the classic LEGO Space sets, which were released in a time when The LEGO Group presented most of their building sets with little context and let kids’ imagination fill in the blanks. This comic was just my (adult) take on it. And when this comic was created, those classic Space sets were pretty much just a nostalgic memory for most people. Today, LEGO has homaged and referred to Classic Space so many times, and possibly will now feature it in a new film, that I feel like I’m creating fan fiction more than ever. But although this comic clearly features classic LEGO sets, I like to think that the characters, stories and humor stand on their own!

Great to see more comics! This was the first web comic I ever read, and although I have lost interest in LEGO, it is still definitely my favourite due to interesting plot and the awesome photography. Hope to see even more new strips.
Thanks, LJ! I hope to continue with regular comics for some time, even if it’s not multiple updates a week like it once was. I’m glad you still enjoy the strips even though your interest in LEGO has faded.
