2- Why LEGO® Bricks? Why not? I can draw very well. I drew for years. But I lost the desire to actually sit and draw a comic. I still do a few doodles. I also have carpel tunnel and various nerve issues which prevents long times at the drawing board. I like to create things, comics, novels, woodworking projects, classic cars. I have a love for LEGO® building supplies. So when I stopped Life Is A SitCom, I still wanted to make a comic. I debated on what to do. After reading a few comics made with LEGO® elements, I figured I could too. I built the Burgatory diner first and created a story that utilized my collection.

3- Does The LEGO® Company help make the comic? Only by making those wonderful little building blocks. LEGO® does not endorse, sponsor, or have anything to do with Genuine Draft. LEGO® is a registered trademark of the LEGO® Group of companies, which does not sponsor, authorize, or endorse this site. This material is presented in accordance with the LEGO® Fair Play Guidelines.

4- How is Single Draft made? Single Draft is a very simple comic. I take pictures of random things with my LEGO® collection and get them captioned. Some, many of the pictures are random panels taken from Genuine Draft. Single Draft is very informal, the settings don't neccesarily be LEGO based. I post a picture in a special spot on my server with the address given out to a select few individuals who can make a comment about the pic and from there I will put the finished comic together. My friends are the writers. I then assemble it in to the finished comic using Photoshop and Illustrator.

5- How many LEGO® things do you own? A lot. And counting. I have specific themes I collect. Castle, Agents, '09 Pirates, Indiana Jones, and Exo-Force are the most sets I have. I have a few StarWars and some misc themes. I have more parts than complete sets. I buy more specific pieces now due to the storage problems I have encountered with the growing collection.

6- Is there a permanent cast? These are random comics, no characters are thought out in advance. Some may come out of it, who knows. I may use some of the cast from Genuine Draft if needed or warranted.

7- What comics do you read? These will be posted in the Links section on the main Genuine Draft Site. when available But I read several LEGO® based comics. Check out Brick Comics Network, you can get to know the loveable lunks who make these things. And a variety of other comics.

8- Do you have a link banner available? Not yet! Genuine Draft has them in several popular sizes. Pick the one you want. They are on the Links page.

9- What do you use to display Single Draft? I use a free PHP based blog designed for comics call LiteDoodle. http://hari.literaryforums.org/entry.php/litedoodle It's a manual updater, meaning there is no database's to configure, just add the next comic to be displayed into the cartoons folder and it updates. It's really simple to use and configure.

10- Why don't you call them legos? It's in respect to the LEGO® companies fair play guidelines. They simply ask that they aren't called legos, but LEGO® elements or bricks. I'm okay with it since I figured out where the ® is on the keyboard!
