Secret Santa Comic-Exchange: Guest Comic by Spencer Overbay
Dec23
Hello all!
Ever wondered what Chelsea and Millie (and Alain) would look like Lego-ized?
Brick-bound in a Parentally-Scary Lego Dimension?
Well, wonder no more!
I took part in this year’s Secret Santa Comic-Exchange, which is basically a whole bunch of webcomickers doing guest-comics/art for each other, but y’know, seeeecretly.
The person who did one (a fantastic one) for me is a certain Mr. Spencer Overbay, of The Odd Bricks. He even customized Chelsea and Millie’s hair and Alain’s facial hair! How cool is that?!
I think you’re adorable too, Millie.
Heeheeheeee! I really love this groovy comic. Thanks so much for doing this for us Spencer!
We’ll be back into the La Chica Fantasma storyline next week.
Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Please don't
I too think they’re adorable.
Wait! Waitwaitwaitwiat! What? All of them are standing diagonally across the floor bumps! Not pegged down at all! Is that canonical?
Oh, nevermind. They’re still adorable…
Saaayyy, and here I was thinking they just have really, reeeeaally thick shag carpet…
This is what happens when one’s parents opt to not buy Lego® for their kids but instead chuck ’em a big ol’ bucket of Toro® instead…
The Toro bucket my sister and I had was bereft of anything resembling anthropomorphic little Lego®-people, so she and i would just to things like build houses for people who did not exist… and that’s about the time we both began a slow spiral into metaphysical solipsism to the point wh…
Ahhh, why am I even bothering to type this? None of you are real.
there is only I, I have always been here and I will always be here. All else is merely manifestations of my Cartesian theater and its neencephalic/ontological meanderings.
There is no Dana.
Only Zuul.
Ah-hem.
If someone has told me a few years back that one day there would exist a Lego comic featuring the two kid sisters I’d recently featured in the top 2-page comic here (back when I had no intention of them being anything other that two one-off characters in a one-off comic for a comics-anthology I’d been asked to contribute something towards) I reckon I’d have probably been all “Whaaaa?”>
The notion of someone taking the time to adapt my characters to their own aesthetics and style via rendering them for things such as this is something which still makes me stop and think “wow” about from time to time.
Comments on pages/blog-posts, fan-art and other such gestures of people showing their support for my various creative ventures over the years have really done a great deal towards keeping me going during the ineluctable bad patches that we all go through as people and which are keenly felt by those who are heavily spiritually/mentally/emotionally enmeshed within their artistic expression and who are subject to the ups and downs of the creative inspiration/manifestation flow.
I really appreciate you and the other commenters here and on FB etc. taking the time to add your views and such within the comments you post. Not that I’d ever start taking it for granted and expect you to.
As I’ve previously mentioned, these pages* take a lot out of me to produce and its always good when I’m able to read or otherwise be informed that the effort I’ve expended is being appreciated/enjoyed by someone out there. Or even that it aroused enough of a reaction in someone that they thus feel the need to tell me they think my stuff sucks.
*Well, not this page obviously: resizing it from the larger file Spencer Overbay emailed me and then uploading this pic to the site took me around four minutes and it was thus by far the easiest webcomic-related thing I’ve done in ages.
That’s a great Christmas present if ever there were. Thanks again Spencer, if you end up reading this comment at some point.
