…and his childish mindset landed him a very well-paid job as an IT-manager so he could overfill his house with tools and icons from his childhood that he spent several late hours tracking down and buying second hand in mint condition through e-bay.
There are cases where both husband and wife collect– and then it’s important that they be fans of different things, so there’s somebody on the same joint bank account to say, “You want to spend HOW much on WHAT?” Just to check. Not necessarily to say no.
i thought the strip used to be you (adam) vicariously living on a comic strip, but the girl bug has been around faaaaar to much lately for this to be the case
You’re trying to say wall-to-wall lego carpeting isn’t a sign of having a grown up mindset? (nobody takes their shoes off in my house lemmetellya)
Cleaning up Lego carpeting is hard. Those dirt stuck in between.
Yeah, but if you drop something and it cracks the floor, fixing it doesn’t cost a small fortune.
Wait. Taking shoes off is a BAD thing?
I want a Salacious Crumb puppet!
As long as it’s the lizard monkey from Star Wars, and not, y’know, a literal salacious crumb.
He meant Mr Natural.

Happy ending.
How to become a good man child:
1) Become (very) rich.
2) Build a BIG house.
3) Specialize some rooms for our stuff.
as long as it’s awesome/vintage stuff, and not my little ponies, you’re golden.
What’s wrong with My Little Pony?
he’s not a brony
Love the salacious crumb reference! Not-really-obscure-but-not-very-well-known-either Star Wars characters for the win!
Although I am a nerd type and married another of my species my first thought was… why isn’t Bug living in his mother’s basement?
His mom’s basement is probably filled with the rest of his childish things 🙂
That’s a good point.
Oof, that one hit home!!
I got rid of a wife so i could have cool stuff again.
Dude, you’re describing my life here! ^_^
You are never to old for your childhood reminders – it means you had a good childhood

This calls for a C.S. Lewis quote!
“When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”
THAT’S the quote I was thinking of! For some reason, I kept ascribing it to Lewis Carroll…
Also, as I am in the process of moving, my childish things have come back to bite me in the tuchus.
Isn’t it great she knows what a Klingon looks like. I love it! 😀
THE CYLON WAS AWESOME.
I just had to do an emergency move when military orders screwed up buying a house. Where did all this crap come from?
