Darth Obvious Part 8

I originally laid this out in a 3 byb 3 panel pattern to make best use of the page, but I think the 3*2 +1*3 layout helps reinforce the joke here.


Darth Obvious Part 7

The original sketch had the Darth Puppet with googly eyes and various household implements as arms. Sadly, I was not able to translate that into the brick format, but I think the joke remains solid.

Darth Obvious Part 6




It's meant to be a phone, but I find the walkie talkie piece is just so much clearer as to what it is.

Darth Obvious Part 5





This one's I think my favourite up to this point, despite once again being hindered by the shortcuts I had to employ to show doors. The original idea was to have him run down firestairs, but alas, I lacked enough bricks of appropriate colours, so a simple set of differently numbered doors will hopefully show the same idea. I should really go and see what just a tub of bricks goes for these days...

Darth Obvious Part 4




This is probably the so far least visually interesting part. I was worried I wouldn't be able to make the minifig slouch properly in the chair, but I think it worked out. So while it is the wordiest episode yet, there is that little visual nugget :D




Darth Obvious Part 3




Not being able to have the characters actually walk through the doors is really getting annoying. I hope what's happening is clear anyway. Also, the first of many unfortunate and clearly innocuous accidents to happen in Darth Obvious' vicinity...

Darth Obvious Part 2




And finally, the cat on the mug is explained. At about the same time it becomes visible. I'd say that's perfect timing. I also added a header; I'd left it out in Part 1 as it would have ruined the joke of Darth's first appearance (in as much as it was one), but I feel he deserves a close up header photo.








Also, I regret not having enough bricks to make an actual wall with an actual door.

Darth Obvious Part 1




I don't think this is the best start this could have had. I'm still figuring out how to add the speech bubbles and do the formatting, and the joke isn't as good as some later ones. Still here it is in glorious brickvision.
