#558; In which a Camel is merely ordinary

Comic Transcripts

IQBAL: Hello sir for order a camel?
REGINALD: Capital! Thank you! Just one question before I set off. How HIGH can this beast fly?
Are we talking MOUNTAIN-VAULTING altitudes or is it more a GRAZE-THE-STEEPLES type of affair?

IQBAL: Fly?
REGINALD: You know, SOAR. Flappity-flap like a bird, or however it does it.
I admit to being a bit foggy on the KINESIOLOGY.
IQBAL: This camel is NEVER fly. Can not even JUMP good.
REGINALD: Ah. I SEE. The brochure was misleading.
Very well. How deep can it DIVE? And will I breathe INSIDE the hump, or…?

IQBAL: No! NOT for swim! This camel is DROWNING if you swim. Weak legs! You lose your deposit!
REGINALD: POGO, then. CAN the camel POGO.
IQBAL: Po-
POGO, sir?
REGINALD: You know! SPROING SPROING HOPPITY-HOP! CAN the camel POGO!

IQBAL: Sir this camel is TOTALLY incapable of any pogo. Its feet is NEVER fit on a human pogo, and QUADRUPED CAMEL POGOS is a thing science does NOT invented yet.
REGINALD: Hang it all! Then WHAT is this blasted camel GOOD for?
CAMEL (thinking): Geez that’s what I’M starting to wonder.

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.
