Well, it doesn’t quite taste the same, but it is a little cheaper. The Brick Side: now with options for the economically minded. The Brick Side is a crunchy little webcomic built with LEGO bricks. Part of a healthy breakfast. Just don’t forget the orange juice, bacon, and eggs.

Contest

By the way — anyone care to take a guess at how many 1×1 bricks are in that bowl? 1 guess per person, entered as a comment on this post.

A friend of mine mentioned on Facebook recently that The Cap’N Minifig Head Cereal was still his favorite theme — and it occurred to me that (except for their very brief mention in episode #150) that it’s been a while. And I got to thinking that the 13 Frogs had kind of filled in their shoes for a while. And that maybe they all needed to get together in an episode. But that they wouldn’t exactly get along. So I’m thinking their may be a bit of rivalry here. Don’t know. Guess we’ll see in the months ahead…Enjoy!

Oh, the things you can lose in a bowl of Cap’N Minifig Head cereal.

Speaking of losing things…we’ve sold our townhouse and have temporarily moved into an apartment while we finish finding a “real” house (with a back yard that little kids can run around in). So everything got packed, and now we are in the process of unpacking … and there are just some things that we cannot find. But rubber duckies are not on that list. =)

That bowl of Cap’N Minifig Head cereal sure has a lot to say. The last time we heard the whole bowl talking was back in Episode [#44].

Perhaps they are fascinated with the macabre. Perhaps it is a death wish. Whatever the case, these LEGO minifigs seem to be constantly drawn to that bowl of Cap’n Minifig Head Cereal.

The Brick Side: just add milk!

So what if some of those Cap’N Minifig Heads actually managed to get out of the bowl?

This is what happens when a bowl of Cap’N Minifig Head cereal starts to get a little old. And those ain’t marshmallows!

While some minifigs have portrayed disgust at the mere thought of eating a bowl of Cap’N Minifig Head Cereal, these guys have not.

Ah, another refreshing bowl of Cap’N Minifig Head cereal. But this one doesn’t say “Snap, Crackle, Pop!” It has a few other choice words for you. Bon Appétit!

For reasons unbeknownst to me, at times my children will randomly begin begging for a particular type of cereal. For weeks on end.

This only stops when I buy the box of cereal.

Which sits there.

Uneaten.

But they no longer complain.

So then I start eating the cereal.

Which inspires new web comics.

So, not a total wash. And I’ll be the first to admit a preference of corn flour & sugar over ABS by the mouthful.
