Comic Transcripts

[[On a town street. MIRGANAN and DOCKBURT ELLBOUGH stand looking at each other.]]

MIRGANAN: I say! Aren’t you the famous film actor Macky Ellbough? I loved you in those commercials for some food or other!

DOCKBURT: ‘Fraid not, old chap. I’m Dockburt Ellbough, Macky’s twin brother, stunt double, camera stand-in, fight coordinator, acting teacher, AND manners coach.

DOCKBURT: I cook his meals, choose AND tailor his shirts, advise him on investments, read scripts he’s been sent, negotiate his contracts, notarize his signatures, and feed his cats when he’s away.
DOCKBURT: I’m his butler, driver, manager, and agent. I screen his calls, take his dictation, and answer his fan mail.

DOCKBURT: I’m his personal attorney, his chiropractor, his emergency contact, and holder of his medical advance directive.
DOCKBURT: I break in his sneakers, pre-warm his bedclothes and eat all his leftovers.

DOCKBURT: I model for his clothing line, voice his animated TV roles, and, should the need ever arise, will gladly be a guinea pig for any type of experimental surgery.
DOCKBURT: So NO, I’m not him, but I’d be happy to answer any questions, sign an autograph in his handwriting, or take a selfie with you!

MIRGANAN: Nah, that’s okay, I’d hoped you were Macky. You really DO like EXACTLY like him.

DOCKBURT: Well, naturally… I wouldn’t be a very good NUDE SCENE BUTT DOUBLE if I didn’t!

I mean, you seem nice and all, but I was hoping to meet the real STAR, y'know?

Bolted! Shipping is UNDERWAY

Bolted! games have been shipping to backers over the last couple of weeks! The non-US orders are (mostly) done and some folks have been reporting receiving them already!

My US inventory of games is now in-country, but still being staged at the fulfillment centers. It’s being distributed to regional warehouses, so the actual shipping to backers happens more efficiently. I hope the bulk of US shipping will start next week.

These are what the cartons (and games) look like!

I am also waiting on the bonus cards to be finished printing! I ended up needing many more of those than I had anticipated, so I decided to have the game factory print those too, for perfect matching with the base game cards.

Most people will be receiving two separate mailings: the game itself, and “anything else” (bonus cards and/or add-ons) which will be sent by me personally.

As of today, 86% of backers have completed their surveys so far! That’s pretty good, but it’s not everyone. I know YOU PERSONALLY have already completed YOURS though, so no worries!!

We have now moved OFF of Kickstarter and ONTO BackerKit for any new orders. You can bundle a game with basically anything else I sell on that there website, it’s pretty nuts!
