Spencer would really like to know what people think of his recent
Pokémon comic.
Plenty of people have already visited this folder -- perhaps some of you? I
helped Spencer with the photography and the captions, but the models, story,
and dialogue are all his doing. He has built more elaborate scenery and
written an outline for a second comic strip. I hope that we’ll start
shooting it soon.
I have had most of our Lego collection sorted for years, which is a very
unusual condition for children to encounter. Because of this organization,
I’ve noticed a tendency for Spencer to build creations with many copies of
the same part. Sometimes the result is pretty good! When he was four, he
built a kangaroo and
joey using only 2 x 2 right-angle brackets. He built the kangaroo first,
and showed it to his Mom. She asked him, “where’s the little joey?” -- and
he went back and built one.
More recently, using the same 2 x 2 brackets, he built a spaceship that he
calls the Starfighter
62. Folding landing gear -- that’s my boy! (Personally, I think that this
model looks more like a freighter than a fighter. The square enclosure
screams to be filled with cargo containers. But if my kid says it’s a
fighter, then that’s what it is.)
Please let Spencer know what you think. Thanks!

Rock On! Excellent comic, and excellent creations! Now if I can just get my
girls playing with them more, maybe they’ll create some works of Lego art... Oh,
and the Kanga and Joey.. wy cool..

| Hi, folks, I don't participate in Lugnet much, but I have my son, Spencer, to thank for re-introducing me to Lego. I (URL) told the story> a while back. Spencer is not old enough to have an email address, or to post to Lugnet. So with this post I am (...) (20 years ago, 17-Feb-05, to lugnet.announce.moc, FTX) !
