Fun On The Runway Part 6

by on December 6, 2009 at 12:01 am
Chapter:

When I said the last comic was the final part of “Fun on the Runway,” I lied. This is. Well, I actually thought of this comic afterwards because I had wanted to use Lt. Coldwell. It’s part of my recent effort to flesh out a lot of characters who haven’t received enough attention.

Another thought…

The nature of this whole comic is a constant conflict for me. I would like to do more with the characters and the story, as those are my own creations. But they’re tied to something that’s not mine, the Lego sets and designs, so it hampers what I can do. Yet, people may never have read it in the beginning if not for the fact that it was built with Lego. And the Lego plays into the mood of the whole thing, and helps me create the story I want because I can take photos of it instead of draw, which takes me a lot longer and produces a lot less. I really wish I could somehow make the comic more official, but haven’t found a way yet. I have been writing prose fiction using my characters and stories, divorced from anything Lego-releated, and might try and do something separate with that, but the comic is still the main project. I kinda painted myself into a corner.

Chapter:

This one’s for you, Tim!

Have you ever had a friend that, on paper, you should have nothing in common with? That’s the way it seems with me and my friend Craig. He pretty much lived a rock ‘n roll lifestyle without actually being a musician, and I’ve always been more into nerdy and quitter pursuits, which he gently makes fun of. But we’ve been friends ever since we worked together more than a decade ago, and spend long hours talking on the phone (since he lives in another state) about topics such as music, wrestling, old sitcoms and the nature of the universe. Craig was a big fan of the ribald sitcom Two and a Half Men, which led him to watch Big Bang Theory since it was made by the same creator. But he was really lost by all the Star Trek references, and actually became curious about the topic. He had never seen one second of Star Trek, and asked me for advice on which ones to watch. I was shocked, and also realized my responsibility in steering him toward good selections, and most certainly anything that wasn’t Voyager. He was already a fan of William Shatner from the actor’s various hosting gigs, so I strongly suggested he watch Wrath of Khan. As I had hoped for, Craig thought it was fantastic. He was very surprised that he liked it so much, and quickly began watching the rest of the movies with the original cast (even Star Trek V, which I warned him about and it pretty much shook him with how bad it was). He then began watching The Original Series, which I suspected he wouldn’t like be a big fan of since it’s a bit different than the films, but he ate those up, watching the whole series within weeks and hungering for more. I tried to get him into Next Generation, but he felt the crew just didn’t have the same chemistry as Kirk, Spock, McCoy and the bunch. Even in the worst episodes of the original show, it was fun spending time with those characters, he said. Craig lamented one time during his Trek marathon, “Here we go, babeless in Boca and another Star Trek movie. This is how it begins… noticed there’s a comic store on 441.” So, maybe his life has swung around a bit… He mused how Trek is an excellent escape when things in your life aren’t at their best, and I agreed that a lot of people feel that way about it.  He also stated that he now considered Star Trek as one of his favorite shows, so I felt proudly that my mission was accomplished. 😀

The Search Part 8

Chapter:

I recently wrote another list for Topless Robot called “The Greatest LEGO Collectible Minifigures” but I have to warn you that it didn’t go over that well. One reason is that I grouped some of the more similar minifigures that I wanted to include together as individual entries, intending them to be equal. But the editor counted them separately, resulting in the #1 best figure being one I didn’t intend it to be. It just happened to be the last one I wrote about in the group of figures that I thought was the best. The other reason I think the list got panned a bit is because there are so many great Collectible LEGO Minifigures and everyone has their favorites, which aren’t necessarily the same as mine. It still never fails to surprise me how seemingly offended some people get that a given list is different than how they would have written it. Although I did make one of my most epic typos by referring to UFO abductees Betty and Barney Hill as “BENNY and Barney Hill.” :-0 Yes, alien abduction-British comedy mash-up!
