Loading ...For the uninitiated, AFOL is “Adult Fan of LEGO” — that is, grown-ups who still build and/or play with LEGO stuff. “Brick” in the phrase “love of the brick” refers specifically to LEGO bricks, and is also a vague allusion to a fan-filmed documentary that aired at Brickworld 2009.
Today’s comic was inspired by several of Jonathan Bender’s sentimentalish posts that started hitting around the time that his “one year as an AFOL” was concluding. On his blog he was recognizing an “end” to a year, but an inability and lack of desire to abandon the brick. Congrats, Jon — you’re stuck; you’re non-biodegradable. 
Well, you’ll technically rot in about 1,000,000 years or so…
