The cartoon blog of Andertoons cartoonist Mark Anderson. He discusses his cartoons, cartooning, comics and, oddly enough, LEGO.
Above is a project I’m working on for the boy to hang in his room. It’s a custom LEGO mosaic of R2D2.
When it’s all done it’ll measure about 23″ tall and 15″ wide and take 3456 1×1 LEGO plates, plus three larger baseplates.
I have to go order some more plates; more pics soon!
I don't know much about steampunk, and I don't know Björn Hurri from Adam, but I absolutely spent way too much time slack jawed at the art here.
A sample of C-3PO:

OK, I’ve pretty much bought everything for the kids for Christmas, but I’m still looking for a few little things to round it all out.
In my shopping I’ve found some weird stuff:
Star Wars Galactic Figures Stocking Stuffers
“I find your lack of Christmas spirit disturbing.”
And this isn’t in itself an odd toy…
…but the Amazon seller struck me as odd…
Can’t read it? Here’s a close-up:
Just the thing for baby; a heavily armed hellspawn. Awww…
OK, back to work.

I was starting to look for toys for my son for Christmas and browsing action figures at Amazon when I came across some Star Wars stuff I thought was interesting.
I’m aware that Star Wars has a million different characters offshoot books, but I’m really impressed/frightened with how deep the merchandising goes.
Check this out; it’s General Grievous from that abysmal third prequel, except that it’s not. It’s apparently what the guy looked like before he became mostly robot and got that nagging cough:
I have to admit some curiosity about the character’s origins, but this seems a bit of a reach for me.
Then there’s this Boba Fett, not as he appeared in the movies, but in his very first appearance on the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special:
Now these two, I might actually be interested in owning. They’re action figures based on the original Ralph McQuarrie art for the movies:
Neat huh?

Ok, maybe not Bezos, but someone over at Amazon has a good sense of humor.
Saw this when visiting Amazon this morning:
Being the Simpsons nut that I am…
This is the funny part. Check out recommendations if Homer is your dad:
And here’s Darth Vader:
Love the geiger counter and the dark laundry wash! Kudos to, well, someone over at Amazon.
