Big Box of Comics: Spirograph Edition

Unless you’ve been trapped in the Phantom Zone with General Zod for the last hundred years, you know that my Big Box Of Comics series is a way to share the comic-book treasures I’ve enjoyed over the years thanks to readers clicking through my affiliate links where I earn some store credit to buy more comics to blog about! But recently, readers’ purchases through my Amazon links went not toward comic books but toward reconnecting with one of the lost joys of my childhood: a Spirograph set.

So here is a collection of my spiro-doodles from the past couple of weeks. They were fun to create and to play around with for a few hours with my mother and sister on a weekend lunch date, and Mom has taken to using the Spirograph to ornament unique handmade cards with her designs. I also picked up a set of colored fine-line pens and dug into Mom’s epic box of colored pencils to see if we could get some different effects, and we tried all kinds of crazy stuff just to see what happens.

If you are thinking of playing with Spirograph, I recommend you head over to Reddit at https://www.reddit.com/r/spirograph/ to see some amazing and advanced techniques, including using ink that glows under black light! I got a basic set that is a great introduction to the concept, but you can take Spirograph to a whole other level. These were all created with a ten-dollar set for beginners.

🧵 Post 1 / 3 — The Observation
🌀 A spirograph and quantum mechanics
While playing with a spirograph, we noticed something unexpectedly useful.
Simple mechanical constraints — rotation, phase relationships, and boundaries — generate nodal structures and dense/sparse regions that look strikingly like quantum probability distributions.
This doesn’t replace quantum mechanics, and it doesn’t claim electrons trace literal paths.
But it does raise an important question: if probability distributions emerge from constraints and interference, shouldn’t we be explicit about what those constraints are?

ein paar der Teile aus meiner Spirographen-Sammlung. So werden sie am kommenden Wochenende hier in Stuttgart auf der großen Messe ausgestellt.
Ein paar werden auch rumliegen, um sie auszuprobieren.

@inkscape oh, yes, there is one. 😻
It's in the "Extensions - Render" menu. But it looks like it's not working perfectly.

@sk76 I remember drawing a picture for #NelsonMandela. it was a task given to us by our #DDR kindergarten teacher. the pics were to be sent to his prison cell in #SouthAfrica. but despite the teacher's best attempts to relay the severity of the situation in a more or less child adequate way, the results were just the usual kid scrawlings: house, sun, meadow and broken stick figures. you deserved better mr. mandela, at least a #spirograph drawing, but I didn't know about those yet :lost: #klife

Used the laser cutter to make a holder for my class set of spirographs — for the lessons I like to do my students need to know how many teeth the gears have. They write a program that produces the same curve using turtle. (with older students we do the trig, which I just call “magic circle functions” for the grade fives)

This will make it all go much smoother!
This is 8 sets packed into one box!

If I have to be brutally honest the reality is I'm not really an adult. I've simply been faking it for a few decades. Just stopped by the local art supply store and picked up a toy I've wanted for a very long time.

This laser is particularly crap, but in the early 90s, this was cutting edge as it had made the jump from hene to diode! I think these were about £400 originally! 🤣 #vintagelasers #lasers #spirograph #nulightsystems

Oh #spirograph - you still have that old razzle dazzle. 😊

Good ol' #Lidl. Sometimes they have a hidden gem in their middle of Lidl jumble sale 😄

I always thought it was called spiragraph. Now I know.
