Yet, not that I disagree with your communicated purpose or greater hope, but I feel (...) (22 years ago, 27-Feb-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.org, FTX)

This is why I'm not sure that a comic like this is a very effective 'recruiting tool' for Dark Agers. Allister (22 years ago, 27-Feb-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.org, FTX)

| (...) Like those Christian 'comics' with little morality plays and a sermon at the end? I don't think I'd like that. A comic should be just that - comical. The effort should be put primarily into making it funny. (...) Hey greg. You're cool. (...) I (...) (22 years ago, 27-Feb-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.org, FTX)
