When I was about 6 or 7 I was visiting with my Grandparents and was bored, so I imagined that the cartoon strip character Hagar the Horrible was living with his friends in the breezeblocks in the backgarden.
When it was time for me to go I invited them all to come home with me. I remember that they always marched in one long line and were about three inches tall. I used to build houses for them out of cards and leave my bedroom door open a crack so that they could come and go.
