#803; In which Concern comes Too Late

Comic Transcripts

[[Outside a shop with the sign DONUTS]]
Voice 1: Are you guys still making those doughplanes?
Voice 2: Why? Do you want one?

[[Inside the shop]]
Lady (Voice 1): Well, no. I just thought it was cool that you made them.
Shopkeeper (Voice 2): Nobody BOUGHT them. We made the biggest and best doughplane in the world, and nobody wanted it.
Shopkeeper: People UNDERSTAND donuts. People DIDN’T understand DOUGHPLANES.

Lady: That’s what I always considered the BEAUTY of it! You took a RISK. You made something NOBODY else would DARE TRY. It was exciting to watch someone labor over something unique for its OWN sake, rather than because it was profitable.
Lady: It was nice to know that there was a place UNAFRAID to make doughplanes. You were a confident lighthouse, beckoning into port a world in which doughplanes would be appreciated.

Shopkeeper: Great. Your superficial approval is appreciated.
Shopkeeper: But did you ever BUY a doughplane?
Lady: Well
Lady: They didn’t really fit in your mouth

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.
