#476; In which Suffering was a Waste

Comic Transcripts

SOL: I’ve finally DONE it, Morty! I’ve PAID OFF the mortgage.
Taken TEN LONG YEARS of scrimpin’ and savin’, but I finally OWN the old hovel free and clear.
MORTY: Same here! It’s a great feeling, innit?

SOL: IMPOSSIBLE! You’ve been delinquent for MONTHS!
MORTY: ABSOLUTELY. But come Christmas morning, WHAT do we see but EBENEZER SCROOGE himself DANCING down the avenue, handing out CANDY and NECK-RUBS! We can’t even get the “lo” out of “Hello” before he’s TORN UP our debt RIGHT there in the STREET!

MORTY: Food poisoning. TOTALLY insane.
By noon his ENTIRE debtor roster is CASUALLY milling around his house, hoping to “accidentally” encounter him before he has an ANEURYSM.
BARNES got a free CAR.
Larry got SCROOGE’S OWN HOUSE! Just HANDED him the deed!

SOL: I…I sold my own FILLINGS to have that mortgage paid off by Christmas.
MORTY: Then you should TOTALLY come over. Scrooge gave us WAY too much figgy pudding.

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.
