Flickr user Kiolden‘s vignette is worth highlighting for a very clever technique used. Can you see what it is? It’s flowers on a string for the smoke from the rocket! This is a very useful and a much cheaper alternative to the ice-cream smoke technique invented by Mark Stafford.

Tentacle monster + schoolgirl = Legohaulic’s disturbing vignette
Things are unlikely to end well in this vignette by Tyler:
Note the suckers on the tentacle, as well as the Lowell-Lambrecht sphere from which the unlucky girl is suspended.
Summer ends, and the big evil school bus eats you
Matt S. shows what happens at the end of summer, which involves finding oneself on the big bad yellow bus once again. But I don’t remember my school bus having sharp teeth that chomped on children. Oh how times change.
The harvester of Primal Bot souls
Mechanical anthropologists have long speculated about the afterlife of the Primal Bots captured on film by field researcher Rong Yiren.

At peace in Mister oo7’s Zen garden
As a continuation to his tea house, Nathan has posted a lovely Zen garden.

The power of life
Although the studs-sideways road is a fairly common sight in post-apocalyptic dioramas these days, Moritz Nolting goes two studs deep in this smaller scene to add greater detail, including the first signs of life:
Bokk in the land of dreams
Curzon79 suggests that when a troll has nightmares, he sees horrible, beautiful flowers and nasty, pretty butterflies:

Swagman robot by Teikjoon
Even robots sometimes get down in the dumps and have to scrounge for a living. Though this reminds me of something from the Futurama universe, Teikjoon sets this lovely little vignette in the Star Wars universe, where — on a planet embargoed by the Trade Federation — unemployed robots “choose to stay operational, scavenging for energy packs”:
Harrison’s 1984 vignette is doubleplusgood
I suspect Harrison may end up spending time at the Chestnut Tree Cafe for his inability to goodthink, but his vignette is doubleplusgood regardless:
It’s a brand new day for Dr. Horrible
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Serenity, Firefly, and now Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-Long Blog — everything that Joss Whedon touches turns to gold.
Here’s my take on a scene from Act II of Dr. Horrible:
Go watch all three episodes for yourself on DrHorrible.com (before the end of the day today, though — they’ll be gone after midnight, July 20).
UPDATE: For those of you who missed the free viewing, you can download all three episodes of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-Long Blog from the
