toonlet: Life-Sized Mousetrap

Life-Sized Mousetrap

by craig

TOONLET IS GOING TO MAKER FAIRE THIS WEEKEND.
WE'LL HAVE OUR OWN TABLE THERE, SO IT'LL BE BUSY.
I HOPE WE GET TO SEE THE OTHER EXHIBITS...
LIKE THE LIFE-SIZED MOUSETRAP!
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TELLING ME ABOUT IT FOR YEARS.
BUT THIS'LL BE MY FIRST OPPORTUNITY TO SEE IT.
I'VE HEARD TALES OF AN AMAZING RUBE GOLDBERG CONTRAPTION.
A BYZANTINE SYSTEM OF GEARS, PULLEY, PNEUMATIC TUBES...
AND SOMEHOW, ALL OF IT WORKS TOWARDS ONE SINGULAR, IRREDUCIBLE GOAL:
CATCHING A NORMAL, RUN-OF-THE-MILL, LIFE-SIZED MOUSE.
AT LEAST, I'M PRETTY SURE THAT'S WHAT IT'S ABOUT.
(WITH THANKS TO SCOTT BEALE OF LAUGHING SQUID FOR THE TIP)

metal craig - happyish: I JUST PRETTY MUCH WENT CRAZY WITH SURLYBEN'S ROBOT MONSTER PACK.
metal craig - looks right: AND I ALWAYS USED THE LAST PANEL AS A STARTING POINT TO BUILD THE NEXT PANEL.
metal craig - speaking 3: THAT WAY, I COULD GET THE ALIGNMENT OF PARTS MATCHED REASONABLY WELL.
