#377; In which Progress looks likely

Comic Transcripts

KATIE: The big rallying cry for every election is ‘change.’ End corruption! Free democracy from the crushing grip of special interests!
KATIE: What happened to the last crew we elected to bring about change? We’re no closer now to the utopia they promised us last election. Why do we think this bunch will do any better?

FATHER: I think the realities of the political process probably mainstream the radicalism out of anybody, just in the name of being able to get anything accomplished at all.
KATIE: So if we feed the system visionaries, and it spits them out as mediocrities…then what we need is some sort of EXTREME DOUBLE MEGA-VISIONARY who’ll get worn down to the level of ‘visionary.’
FATHER: In other words, we should elect the most crazy nutball wackjob out there.

WALT HOPPENDORF: Mr. Gax, can you offer details about your plan to solve Social Security while also developing a new biofuel?
[[Mr. Gax is a dinosaur wearing a suit]]
MR. GAX: IF ELECTED, I PLEDGE TO FEED ALL HUMANS OVER SIXTY INTO THE INSATIABLE FURNACE OF MY GALACTIC DEATH-CRUISER

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.
