#832; The Pseudograph Hound

Comic Transcripts

I WENT TO A CONVENTION TO ASK WINSLOW OGLETHORPE TO SIGN THIS NEEDLEPOINT I MADE OF HIM…
SIR WINSLOW OGLETHORPE? THE WORLD’S MOST HANDSOME ACTOR?
THE SAME.
BUT HE WANTED FIFTY BUCKS! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?

FIFTY BUCKS JUST TO SIGN HIS NAME!
THAT’S OUTRAGEOUS! I’LL SIGN HIS NAME FOR TWENTY-FIVE!
HECK, I’LL SIGN ANY NAME YOU LIKE!
BUT YOU’RE NOT WINSLOW OGLETHORPE.

SO? THE SIGNATURE ITSELF IS IMMATERIAL. I COULD TAKE THE NEEDLEPOINT AND TELL YOU I GOT OGLETHORPE TO SIGN IT. YOU’D NEVER KNOW THE DIFFERENCE!
AND NEITHER WOULD ANYONE WHO SAW IT FRAMED ON YOUR WALL!
IT’S NOT LIKE HIS PEN HAS SPECIAL INK THAT HEALS THE SICK. IT’S JUST A SHARPIE.

ALL YOU’D HAVE TO DO IS, FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE, LIE AND SAY IT’S THE REAL SIGNATURE. EVENTUALLY YOU’D PROBABLY EVEN START BELIEVING THAT IT WAS!
I’M NOT SURE I WANT TO SAVE TWENTY-FIVE BUCKS THAT BADLY.
FINE I’LL DO IT FOR FREE

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.
