| (...) Late last week I e-mailed Jake suggesting that AFOLnet.com be picked up as a site to web-publish the comic for that specific reason (didn't want to mention it until it got picked up...which it apparently has). Nothing like handing out (...) (22 years ago, 2-Mar-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.org)

| Thank you for providing us, the AFOL community a chance to review your internal comic. Overall, I believe that it does a good job of explaining us to its originally intended audience. One concern I do have regarding the eventual distribution to the (...) (22 years ago, 1-Mar-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.org, FTX)

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 (...)
