| (...) Hey Jake, I responded more to the content of the comic in a thread over on FBTB, but just to give a personal testamony, for me it was Cool LEGO Site of the Week that got me out my dark ages, just seeing all the things that AFOLs were building.

| Jake, I think the comic is great. I had a really good laugh at a few of the strips. Even though the colour change is a bit of a stinging point with me, I found myself reacting very positively to the strips. Humour is a wonderful tool. As you (...)

And that doesn't mean the comic shouldn't exist either, just not as a propaganda tool. All this talk of 'tailoring it to different (...)

Significantly different audiences will need versions that are tailored to fit their needs and views. The whole greys issue (...)
