Comic Transcripts

VICTOR [holding a pool cue]: Have you ever been in a situation that was just a little bit unsettling, just barely enough to get the pit of your stomach seizing up like a fist clenching but only weakly like an arthritic fist

VICTOR: But then the fist takes some supplements or something and it starts squeezing harder and harder and you realize that the situation is getting worse not better and at this rate it looks like it really might keep getting worse without ever recovering, I mean it passes that point

VICTOR: And you very seriously start to consider that THIS IS IT. This is how I am going to DIE. It was going to happen eventually, and it’s NOW. My time is just up. Because?I feel that way now.

MAURICE [holding a large eel]: Have you ever felt that way BUT THEN relayed that your good friend knows way more about having fun than you do so you should just trust him for once?
VICTOR: I’ve made lots of bad decisions, yeah

[[alt-text: He had been to a machine that predicted his death. Receiving ‘SCALE,’ he kept himself trim and avoided shipyards and truckstops. And then, when Maurice entered the room with his large eel, his blood froze.]]

Bolted! Fulfillment Update

May 25, 2026 by David Malki !

The vast majority of Bolted! game shipments are already shipped, but I understand if you don’t have yours yet, who cares. Here’s a progress report:

Total orders | 1052
Surveys completed | 992
Fully shipped | 946

Incomplete surveys

Obviously, if I don’t have your shipping address, I can’t ship your game! Let me know if you are missing a survey link. As new responses come in, they are rapidly added to the shipping queue.

Orders containing certain add-ons

Some of the add-ons proved more popular than expected — which is lovely! But it meant I had to reprint some stickers, make all the individual comic prints, request a shipment of books from offsite storage, etc, etc. So, any orders which contain an out-of-stock item are still waiting to ship.

All that missing stuff, though, is en route to me at this very second! So those orders will be going out pretty dang soon!

Custom items

I’ve already been in touch directly with the backers who ordered custom collages! Those will be created (and sent to you) after all the other shipments are complete. I’m excited for those, they’ll be fun! My pleasant dessert after the hearty meal of all the other orders.

Anything wrong?

I’m very grateful to the few folks who’ve contacted me to report some kind of issue with their shipment! Thankfully, problems are rare, but when they do occur, I would like to solve them. Please don’t hesitate to send me an email (replying to your shipping confirmation works great) if there’s anything about your order I can correct.

Reviews & photos

On BoardGameGeek are highly appreciated!

Unless you hate the game! You are entitled to that opinion, but please send that review directly to me instead of telling anyone else, so I can eat it and bury it in the yard and watch it grow into a twisted, gnarled tree. Or whatever!
