Check Out this Father and Son Stormtrooper Scrapbook

There's just something adorable about a Stormtrooper action figure and a tiny Lego Stormtrooper enjoying the day together.

I know that Stormtroopers don't really grow up at all, them being clones and all, but if they did it might look like this comic by Christian Cantrell. Cantrell's work is called microkosmic, which he says is derived both from the fact that the origin of the word cosmos is spelled with a "K" in Greek but also because "some douchebag is squatting on microcosmic.com, so I had no choice." The comic isn't really a comic but is derived from photos of familiar toys like Legos and action figures. Why? "Because people scare me, but most toys do not." Still, this comic entitled "Stormtrooper Scrapbook" [http://www.microkosmic.com/comic/scrapbook-of-a-stormtrooper.html] touches some deep well of paternal feeling in me, perhaps because I will soon become a father myself.

The rest of Cantrell's comics on microcosmic are extraordinary, and not all of them are safe for children, but I got a kick out of them today nonetheless. "3-CEO" [http://www.microkosmic.com/comic/impregnation.html] is so genius that I wish I had thought of it.

Head over to microkosmic for even more hilarious photography comics.

Well, that's, uh, disturbingly adorable. I think I'll stick with that.

First the child Vader in that car ad and now this (both are cutes). This one remind me of this video.

It's ideas like that that make great youtube series.

OT: I am a big fan of people taking strange things and giving them heart. Bravo to the creator.

Stormtroopers in the original series aren't clones; just the ones in the prequels.

Correct. And on top of that the clones actually grew up as well just at an accelerated rate. There were baby clones, just not for long.

Also o m g cute.

Hey, congratulations.
OT: It's somehow adorable even when the child is handed a blaster to shoot rebels... It's just so cute!
Oh, and this reminds me so much of the Robot Chicken "bring your daughter to work day" skit...
