#1033; In which a Parade is questioned

Comic Transcripts

[[An upset-looking child complains to their parent.]]
Child: I went to that character parade at Disneyland and JAFAR was in it!
Parent: Of course.

Child: Jafar’s DEAD! He died in the second movie! How can he be in a PARADE?
Child: Same with DARTH VADER or GASTON or ANY of those guys!
Child: We WATCHED them die! We have it on VIDEO!

Child: It’s like we’re watching them outside of time, at some pre-demise point in their story… but they’re nonetheless trapped!
Child: They can’t change their future!

Child: If I was afar in that parade, I’d try to make a BREAK for it! Get outta dodge! See if I can LIVE this time, for ONCE, before the INEVITABLE!
Parent: You’re SUPER overthinking it. The real explanation is much simpler.

Parent: He IS dead. You’re watching him work off the sins of his life by being in parade after parade until the end of forever.
Child: Then why is Aladdin in the parade too? And all the good guys?
Parent: NO ONE IS TRULY GOOD

In addition to buying things directly from me, the normal way, my game Bolted! is also now available on Amazon dot com.

On that famous website, you can also get the Creature-Crafting Magnets Set, which is made of the same artwork from the game, but is just a weird little trinket (not a playable game).

My kiddo made the elaborate version below to show off just how many magnets you get in the set (it’s 150 pieces in all — this isn’t even all of them).

Also now on Amazon is my set of Multi-Purpose Greeting Cards — a full dozen cards with envelopes in a fancy, unbranded, foil-stamped box!

Event alert!

I’ll also be showing off Bolted! at Greenwood Games, an event in Seattle this Saturday:

Greenwood Games is a free, all-ages community game event that invites players to spend the afternoon walking Greenwood Avenue from 65th to 80th, collecting clues, cracking puzzles, and discovering games made right here in Washington.

Think of it as Pride Hop, ArtWalk, and the Gumshoe all rolled into one, except the whole thing is built around games and puzzles.

Local game designers will be set up at different places along Greenwood Avenue in Phinney Ridge (near Ballard). My specific spot will be the “Holy Mountain Phinney Ridge Taproom”. All the information about all the different games & venues is on the website!

(If you’re in Seattle generally but not free tomorrow, Bolted! is also stocked at Blue Highway Games in Queen Anne.)

Next week, I’ll be at Gen Con! I personally will be hanging with my buddy Sam Logan at BFE Webcomics, booth #1217… but I have it on good authority that copies of Bolted! will be available at the CRWN Studios booth, #2549.

Visit one booth! Then the other! The order…is up to you.
