Pesky Gremlins Comic 909 – Flight of Fancy

Flight of Fancy

The internet defines "flight of fancy" as a whimsical, imaginative, or impractical idea, thought, or plan. It's something that is often considered unrealistic or unlikely to come to fruition. Think of it as a daydream or a creative idea that's not firmly grounded in reality. 

...which perfectly describes Fubar's daydream. 

Fubar, being the Walter Mitty of our little group of gremlins, has a vivid and active imagination that rarely surfaces in his daily life.  He often comes across as somewhat slow and dim-witted.  But that just might be because in his mind's eye he is performing daring and dangerous actions that demand his undivided attention.

A Little Different

Ned's gremlin picture frame

Here is something that is a little different than what usually shows up here on the pages of the Pesky Gremlins website. The picture isn’t what you should look at. Take a good look at the frame, which was built to appear as if it were put together by one of our gremlins.

The frame was assembled by Ned Serleth, whose MGA is depicted in the picture. The picture itself was done as a collaboration for a story that Ned had written for an automotive magazine. Unfortunately, the article was not published.

Ned writes, “The gremlin frame came first from the scrap pile, then the angles were eyeballed, and finally the welder burned a few holes but left enough material to hold it together.” The rough welds and rust really complete the gremlin appearance.

Thanks Ned!
