Working Daze by John Zakour and Scott Roberts for February 15, 2014

A man’s home is his castle…or man cave.

He still has Lego? How old is he?

Is it an American thing to say “Legos”? When I was growing up in Britain it was just Lego, or Lego blocks.

Nice work on the colouring in.BTW my parents kept all my old lego in the attic. My son has it now and seems to be enjoying it as much as I did.

Did Roy ‘block’ himself in? Is this building representing his entire collection, or is there another fort on the way?…Way to go on the color blocks.

One of the best Christmas gifts I ever gave to my many nieces and nephews were large buckets of Legos. Even the nieces still talk about them today, many years later!

They are the perfect toy. Throw them in the dish washer set to cool dry and they are ready for the next generation.

I’m 54. If I could afford them, I’d have legos. I have various lego games for my Wii and DS. They’re some of the best games I’ve ever played.

To think, it must have taken him at least 15 minutes to build it. Maybe he can talk Kathy into saving them for the “twins”?

Hold firm Roy – don’t let a treasure trove like that go

I still have my Legos and still play with them.. with my nieces and nephew.

A Lego Bat-cave—cool!

And, indeed … impressive attention to detail in the coloring today.

Thanks also for your responses to our comments, Thomas. I always appreciate artists responding to fan feedback.

I really got into LEGOs as an adult. I am now 57 and have been collecting for a while. I have lots of star wars, LOTR, vikings, ninjas, sculptures, etc. I just LOVE them!

The mud monster (she’s 28 now) had the big Lego blocks (“Duplo”?) when she was very tiny, and graduated to the standard Lego blocks as she became able to handle them.

At some point, she just sort of lost interest, but we had a lot of fun.

My grandfather taught me how to use a similar type of toy made with styrene bricks. Lego hadn’t been invented yet, or at least hadn’t made it to the US, but these were a good copy. Just somewhat fragile.

SO, I’d build little “forts” and then use a toy cannon (it would sprling-launch a bit of quarter-inch dowel) to demolish them.

Worked pretty well until I ran out of bricks….

(I had “Lincoln Logs”, too, and a bottom of the barrel “Erector” set.)

Lord, I’m old….
