    Lumber? Must be a pricey item.

    Guessing Bill S has the right idea. No different combination comes to mind.

    My guess is that someone loves the ceiling so much that they have installed some lumber with Lego bumps or depressions on them so they can attach themselves to the ceiling. Not a ceiling fan, but a fan of ceilings.

    My ceiling fans seem to always wobble after installation. They must be balanced and I usually tape a penny to the offending blade to give it a bit more weight … maybe some people use legos instead? Baffling.

    Bill S is correct. One of our great-grandkids used to try to hit the fan with is blocks. We think he was trying to see if the fan was a sort of baseball bat. That was before he tied a cape around his shoulders, stood on the top bunk, grabbed one of the fan blades – and pulled the fan out of the ceiling. No matter what the ads say, a Superman cape does NOT give a small child the ability to fly.

    For kids with legos, a place to hook their square space ships and air planes to make them ‘fly’.

    One more vote from the “I didn’t get it either” faction.

    I’m not saying I disagree with Bill S, but it just doesn’t resonate with me. This strip is a real stretch.

    I just googled and found lots of sites for how to build your own lego ceiling fan for a lego house and then sites for building your own ceiling fan not out of legos. Nothing explained what the joke is in this strip.

    Never saw a kid string 5 or 6 legos together and toss them into a fan so they explode all over the room?

    Make everyone else feel dumb. Just go ahead and laugh like you know what he is talking about.

    This is the most clear and obvious cartoon, why do so many “not get it”? Is it that you haven’t raised children, never purchased Legos, or had a ceiling fan? I’m not being sarcastic here, it must be a “parenting” thing. Or Nannys to pick up the Legos? (The “imprint” is usually a bunch of Lego scratches on a really nice fan…but the “imprint” made the point SO well!

    I thought a ceiling fan was an admirer of Michaelangelo’s work.

    A “source” of four pieces of lumber, the “lumber” being the fan’s four blades that have been dislodged by a barrage of one or more Legos.

    Even as someone who has way too much Lego, I’ve never seen or heard of anyone hitting a ceiling fan with it, much less leaving a noticeable mark on the fan. Most Lego jokes tend to talk about stepping on them, which makes more sense to me.

    It seems like some comic strips (like this one) are getting so obscure it defeats the purpose of the strip. I’ve been reading BC and Wizard of Id for 50 years and only lately have no clue what the artist is going for.

    I’m with the majority who find this one a bit too obscure. My only relation with Legos and ceiling fan imprints is that I may have left an imprint of my hair on a fan blade after stepping on a Lego.

    I’m guessing that it means the Mastroiannis have lots of kids, lots of Legos, and at least one broken ceiling fan

    Majority of comments talk of marks on the blades from Legos, but that isn’t what it says. It says the “Lego Logo”.

    The guys who write it now are Millennials. They write like everyone knows who April the Giraffe is.

    FAIL. Very few have a clue what this is supposed to mean, the Lego logo does not imprint into ceiling fan blades easily for the 0.001% of kids that throw them at the ceiling fan and ceiling fans come with 2,3,4,5 and 6 blades (even more for commercial applications). I grew up with Legos in the 60’s and 70’s and so did my kids in the 90’s and NO ONE ever threw them at a ceiling fan. I guess we were smart enough to figure out that the resultant projectile could cause damage or injury. I miss Johnny Hart…
