Comic Transcripts

[[An angry-looking man meets a distinguished-looking, mustachioed man. The mustachioed man gestures to his friend, a boy with a duck’s head and top hat.]]
Mustachioed man: Have you met my friend, Tom? He’s just written a fantastic new novel. I’m sure it will be VERY big.

[[The man repudiates the duck’s writing.]]
Man: You have to be kidding me. That THING can’t write.

[[The man and mustachioed man both look shocked.]]
Duck: WHAT?! You think I’m illiterate just because I’m a duck? How DARE you!

[[The mustachioed man tries to console the duck. The man returns to looking angry.]]
Mustachioed man: Whoah, Tom! I’m sure he didn’t mean that.
Man: I thought you were illiterate because you’re POOR.

{{No header joke.}}
{{Alt-text: And DISGUSTING. And did I mention POOR.}}

And DISGUSTING. And did I mention POOR.

Today’s Guest-Comic-On-A-Theme comes from Christopher Hastings, author of The Adventures of Dr. McNinja. Chris is a fine fellow and I endorse his work highly! If you’re not familiar with Dr. McNinja, may I suggest the beginning of the current story? It is an entertaining yarn indeed.

Also remember that these people did this work with pens on photocopies that I handed them so all things considered I think they fared quite well.

New ways to get Bolted!

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.
