#824; Mean, Scary Gax, Part 8 (of 9)

Comic Transcripts

Gax: Well, hello there, dog. Who do you belong to?
Small dog: Yipe!
Gax: I can’t pet you right now. I’m on my way to book club.
Small dog: Yipe! Yipe!

Large woman (Maureen): He is mine, Gax, as is the book club. Which you are hereby expelled from.
Gax: Maureen? Why?
Maureen: You know why. We have conversations in confidence. Book club demands a certain trust, and you have broken that trust time and again.

Gax: It’s book club! I want to talk about Khaled Hosseini’s use of metaphor! Where else can I do that? Nobody else is that boring!
Maureen: Gilda said that after she told us about the trouble she’s been having with her mother, you impersonated her and told her mother to “go suck a cluster bomb.”

Gax: Well, somebody had to!
Maureen: Then you transformed her into a shrieking reaper! Half the nursing home had heart attacks!
Gax: In Gaxian culture the reaper is good luck!
Maureen: You can’t just keep saying that about every shrieking horror you transform into!

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.
