#1044; In which Edwin is made Aware

Comic Transcripts

[[A frustrated-looking man stares at his arm hair.]]
Edwin: I’ve been trying to grow out my arm hair for YEARS now!
Edwin: I want to braid it! I’ve wanted to for AGES!
Edwin: But it only gets SO long… and then… just… STOPS!

[[A bald man joins the conversation.]]
Edwin: What TELLS it to stop growing? I shout at it every day to KEEP growing and it doesn’t LISTEN!
Hair Scientist: It IS growing. It’s just that your arm hair SHEDS faster than some other types of hair.

Hair Scientist: The length of hair is only determined by how much time it’s given to grow before it falls off. Arm hairs fall off more readily than do head hairs, or beard hairs.
Hair Scientist: But they ARE growing. Every day, little by little. Creeping, SLIDING out of your pores, all over your ARMS, all over your BODY.
Hair Scientist: Every SINGLE second, MILLIONS OF TINY HAIRS are INDEED SQUEEZING THEMSELVES out of your skin.

[[Edwin lies in bed, apparently unable to sleep, eyes wide in terror.]]

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.
