I got the feeling that the “Brickwarz” spelling, like “AFOLnet,” was a move to avoiding stepping on anybody’s copyrights. But I’m sure that it wouldn’t be too hard to get usage permission from the copyright owners, for use in the comics?

Yes, but Megabloks (page 7), Playmobile (page 13), Target, K-Mart, Sears, Toys R Us, Wal-Mart (page 12), Brickfest (page 14), Cylon & Battlestar Galactica (page 17) and Jar-Jar (page 26) are copyrighted by somebody.


Personally, I hope Greg changes Brickwarz to Brikwars and AFOLnet to LUGNET.
