#618; We are all Social Creatures

Comic Transcripts

[[A bearded man sits on a bench, holding a cellular phone to his ear]]
Bearded Man: …just checking to see if you guys were going out tonight. Call me!
Bearded Man (internal monologue): They won’t call! I *know* they went out without me! They *never* include me in anything they do!

[[The phone is no longer visible]]
Bearded Man (internal monologue): Like when *George* came to visit. They all went to that club that looks like a submarine.
Bearded Man (internal monologue): George is *my* friend, too! And they *knew* I wanted to go check out *The Dive Bar*!
Bearded Man (internal monologue): But *no*! Stuck home *alone* again like a *chump*! Like a walking, talking *chumpanzee*!

[[A man in a turban appears, kneeling at the bearded man’s side]]
Bearded Man (internal monologue): Now I’m gonna be here *all* night waiting for a call which is *never* going to come. Talk about the *height* of inconsiderate?
Man in Turban: *AN EPIDEMIC HAS KILLED THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE LEAVING ONLY YOU AND ME ALIVE*

Man in Turban: C-can I come in?
Bearded Man: Nnnnnah, I think I got a library book I should be working on.

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.
