#1190; In which Brunch is exotic

Comic Transcripts

[[A table at a restaurant. EUSTACE, MARY, and TEDDY are talking to a WAITER.]]

EUSTACE: I’ll get the Denver omelette with Canadian bacon, Greek olives and Swiss cheese.
MARY: I’ll have the Irish cream Belgian waffle — no, French toast — with a side of Polish sausage, and a danish.

TEDDY: English muffin with Hollandaise sauce, and the Spanish rice with diced frankfurters and Brazil nuts.
WAITER: Dressing for your salad?
TEDDY: Italian.

MARY: Also, let’s get some Russian tea cakes, and Turkish delight for the table. Can you do the Baked Alaska with Neapolitan ice cream?
WAITER: No, sorry, only French vanilla.

EUSTACE: Ha ha, almost need our PASSPORTS for a meal like this!
MARY: Ha ha ha! A stamp for each course!
TEDDY: MY passport has a chip in it…a TORTILLA CHIP! Ha ha ha!!

CAPTION: Later
WAITER (to TEDDY): Sir, I’m afraid your work visa has expired.
TEDDY: Oh shoot! Here, put it on the corporate AmEx instead.

My US inventory of games is now in-country, but still being staged at the fulfillment centers. It’s being distributed to regional warehouses, so the actual shipping to backers happens more efficiently. I hope the bulk of US shipping will start next week.

These are what the cartons (and games) look like!

I am also waiting on the bonus cards to be finished printing! I ended up needing many more of those than I had anticipated, so I decided to have the game factory print those too, for perfect matching with the base game cards.

Most people will be receiving two separate mailings: the game itself, and “anything else” (bonus cards and/or add-ons) which will be sent by me personally.

As of today, 86% of backers have completed their surveys so far! That’s pretty good, but it’s not everyone. I know YOU PERSONALLY have already completed YOURS though, so no worries!!

We have now moved OFF of Kickstarter and ONTO BackerKit for any new orders. You can bundle a game with basically anything else I sell on that there website, it’s pretty nuts!
