Hi All, The new AFOLs Comic books are NOW available!!! You may have seen Jake’s announcement several months ago http://news.lugnet.com/lego/?n=960 http://news.lugnet.com/lego/?n=960 These books are for handing out at shows and events as a “recruiting” tool and to tell people about AFOLs.

In a nutshell the comic documents a newbie AFOL discovering the hobby as an adult.

Jake asked me to announce this in hopes that we could distribute the boxes at BrickFest to the clubs. There are 200 comic books per box, box size: 11 ¼ x 8 ½ x 5, at 20Lbs per box.

The comic can be previewed at www.bricksonthebrain.com/comic/afols-final.pdf http://www.bricksonthebrain.com/comic/afols-final.pdf

Each attendees will receive one comic in their registration bag.. so no need to order a full box if you just want one or 2.

If you are interested in reserving a box or more for your club to distribute at your local events, then log into your BrickFest account and Select the

http://www.dc.brickfest.com/registration/editItem.php http://www.dc.brickfest.com/registration/editItem.php page to adjust what you’re ordering

(...) I just wanted to make a quick comment on the comic book. Check out the bottom-left picture on page 16. The AFOL on the left is showing his creation to a group of kids. Look at the expression on the face of the kid in the middle - wide eyed and (...) (20 years ago, 9-Jul-04, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

(...) Woohoo! Hey, waitaminnit, I thought the title was going to be changed to something more non-AFOL-friendly... There was even a contest and everything. Oh well, at least the in-comic website got changed to something more immediately recognizable (...) (20 years ago, 9-Jul-04, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

Is there a way for people who are not able to attend in person to order a box of comics and some of the other items to be shipped to them? Paul Sinasohn LUGNET #115 BAYLUG/BAYLTC (20 years ago, 9-Jul-04, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)
  Re: AFOLs Comic book distribution @ BrickFest 2004
 
(...) Wow, this is great! BayLTC has a GATS coming up on July 17-18. How can we get some in time for this? Why isn't LUGNET mentioned in it? LEGOFAN.org is just a parked domain...? And since LEGOFAN.org contains the LEGO trademark, how does that (...) (20 years ago, 9-Jul-04, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)
  Re: AFOLs Comic book distribution @ BrickFest 2004
 
(...) Greg and Jake, congratulations with the publication. I was hoping to see new gags added since the original preview, I'm glad this wish came through. I think it captures the AFOL spitit quite precisely at certain places. The right panel on page (...) (20 years ago, 11-Jul-04, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

(...) Wow! I can't wait to see a copy! Anywayze, I'll be at BrickFest to hopefully sign a copy or to for anyone that wants it. I may also have the original art for sale, too (I don't know if I want to part with it yet, though). Also, for those of (...) (20 years ago, 11-Jul-04, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

(...) Hi Christina, I downloaded the comic, because we in Europe at LEGO(C) WORLD (Holland) & LEGO(C) FESTIVAL (Belgium) won't be able to get this comic (I asked Jake for it). Now i do have 1 big question, How do i have to fold the pages, so that i (...) (20 years ago, 21-Jul-04, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

Previously, in lugnet.events.brickfest, Christina Hitchcock wrote about the AFOL Comic that will be distributed at BrickFest. Here is some more information: We're very oversubscribed, there is a lot of interest, which is really great. Jake has (...)

(...) Hey, you just described me! If anyone wants any insight into the perspective of a fresh AFOL newbie, feel free to send email (joe@strout.net).
