#1056; In which a Stand is taken

Comic Transcripts

[[A woman is having a conversation with a man wearing a bowler hat.]]
Patient: Can you believe it? The doctor’s office wants $400 for the visit alone!
Patient: Then the actual tests are like $700 apiece!
Patient: My blood probably goes through a little turnstile! A buck a red cell!

Patient: This is ridiculous. I’m going to protest with a strike.
Bowler: What do you mean, a STRIKE
Bowler: They don’t care how well you BOWL

Patient: A prisoner has no power except over their own self, right? So they go on a HUNGER STRIKE.
Patient: This is a way of saying “this issue is SO important, I will put my life at stake – betting that that’s dramatic enough to get your attention.”

Patient: Well, I’m going on MEDICAL STRIKE.
Patient: I will forego ALL medical treatment in PROTEST of the healthcare establishment.
Patient: Are you going to STAND BY AND LET ME DIE, world? Or are you going to PAY ATTENTION to this PROBLEM?!

Bowler: I’ve always admired how you’re COMPLETELY willing to make yourself suffer simply to SPITE your enemies.
Patient: You want to charge me $2600 for a pill that prevents my ORGANS from EXPLODING?
Patient: WELL I’M NOT GONNA GIVE YOU THE SATISFACTION!

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.
