Outdoor scenes are hard to do convincingly if you don’t have enough of the right sort of LEGO pieces. I don’t, so I really try to minimize setting strips outdoors. It was during this week I discovered that.

Sometimes you just have to go for it with a visual gag and hope that it works. I think this one came together pretty well overall.
I experimented with some different methods of getting the screens to “glow” the way they ought to, but everything I tried looked really fake. Now, that’s not necessarily a bad thing when producing a webcomic with LEGO bricks, but I try to at least achieve a state of consistent artificiality.
I strive to keep this comic clean enough to let my kids read it. It’s PG for the most part with occasional PG-13 references. But they’re generally obtuse enough to go over younger kids’ heads.
