It depends if you want to consider each and every point individually (which
seems like a valid approach to me) or are trying to present an overall point
that perhaps you have flogged to death already.
Having said that, I'm not sure what real bearing my comments have, since if you
enjoy doing it and others enjoy looking at it, that's enough in itself.
Certainly I enjoy the technical aspects of your Lego storytelling enough to keep
reading.

Certainly valid points.

The whole thing as in the Bible itself, or your whole version of the juicy bits?
Or both? Anyway, illustrators can put a spin on things the same way a
politician can. Probably wouldn't be any good if they didn't. though. :-)
