#867; That Ol’ Kitchen Magic

Comic Transcripts

[[Two women are in a kitchen. Woman 1 is cooking with a frying pan over a stove. Woman 2 is working at a table nearby.]]

Woman 1: Look! I take a runny, slimy egg. Inedible, you say? I shall expose it to fire! Aha! The egg is now firm! The very same egg!

Woman 1: This bacon is likewise soft and horrible. Yet observe how I turn it delicious! Nonstop crackling and popping! The classic smell of breakfast! A veritable fireworks show of grease! All from an inert piece of meat! I’ll never tell how it’s done!

Woman 1: [[from off-panel, Woman 2 is in panel]] Easy, you say. Child’s play, you might think. But what about this! A pile of raw hashed potatoes, completely white, as you’d expect. But watch carefully! I’ve always loved your brown eyes, my dear… Would you like potatoes to match? Kapow! No mirrors, no tricks! The potatoes have genuinely turned brown!

Woman 2: I do believe I understand how cooking works, yes.
Woman 1: You may call it cooking but I call it wizardry

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.
