I get what you mean, stepping on legos hurts like Angband! We used to have them all over the floor of our house, but I haven't taken my legos out for a while, so we haven't had that problem...

A little bit on an inside story on P&A3. The process of making each episode is somewhat laborious. More than the previous ones. First of all, I have empty templates I printed off onto which I do sketches of what I want to happen in each episode. You can see one of these in early development here.
Then I hand said sketch on to my brother for digitalising. He draws it up to my specifications and I give it a once-over to check it's as I want it. He then e-mails me the picture and I put the text in using Image composer.

Wow! I am even more greatful for Phantom and Alien now (If that is even possible)! Why so much work to please people who only know you on a Tolkien discussion forum, Hookbill? It is very nice of you!

We spent a lot of time wondering about the text, actually. I almost gave them speech bubbles. We decided against it because it took up to much space and I felt it distracted from a lot of the background funny stuff.

I think you're right about the speech bubbles. They are a bit distracting. Even though the text is a little bit difficult to read at times...
