LEGO and The Far Side is simply an irresistible combination as far as I'm concerned. This fabulous MOC by Dodge, built for MOCathalon 2015, is based on one of my all-time Gary Larson favorites. A whole story, with both humor and danger, in a single well crafted image, brilliant.
I've always been a huge Far Side fan. And when you combine LEGO and Gary Larson, you cannot help but WIN. This MOC by vitreolum perfectly illustrates this fact, combining mad skills, comic humor clever part use to not only make another entry for Iron Builder, but also for MOCathalon. That's a whole lot of WIN.
I loved The Far Side, still do. There are few comics that could weave so much smart humor into a single panel, and none could rival Gary Larson. I sincerely hope this MOC from Sly Owl is just the first of many. There's so much material to take advantage of, and it's all absolutely brilliant.
