Comic Transcripts

[[CARL stands behind his brother, WILBER, in a living room.  Wilber points a hatbox at an egg sitting unassumingly in a corner of the room.]]

CARL: If only Papa could see the two of us now.

WILBER: Of course he can’t SEE us, he’s in the egg!

CARL: I KNOW he’s in the egg!  I’m just saying HYPOTHETICALLY.

CARL: I know this comes a bit LATE, but I’m having second thoughts about trapping our father in an egg.

WILBER:  The old man had it coming!  After what he did?  The egg is lettin’ him off EASY!  You SAID as much!

CARL:  Yes, we DID come to a rather HASTY agreement on that point before we began, didn’t we.

CARL: I just thing that of all the ways we COULD address our VERY VALID grievances about matters relating to our upbringing…

CARL: Using an enchanted hatbox to trap the man inside an egg is rather a less…EFFICACIOUS solution than we MIGHT have attempted had we NOT discovered an enchanted hatbox at a fortuitously coincidental time, eh?

WILBER: Sounds like the rambling of a man fixin’ to get hisself HATBOXED into an EGG.

CARL: Now you KNOW we only have TWO wishes left and I’ve already called dibs on ONE for the never-ending OMELET.

WILBER: An inexhaustible frittata AIN’T gonna solve your problems, CARL, and if we splurge WISH DEUCE on ANOTHER egg item IT’S GONNA START LOOKIN’ WEIRD.

Enchanted hatboxes and the perilous uses to which they may be put have a way of coming between brothers.

Bolted! Fulfillment Update

The vast majority of Bolted! game shipments are already shipped, but I understand if you don’t have yours yet, who cares. Here’s a progress report:

Total orders | 1052
Surveys completed | 992
Fully shipped | 946

Incomplete surveys

Obviously, if I don’t have your shipping address, I can’t ship your game! Let me know if you are missing a survey link. As new responses come in, they are rapidly added to the shipping queue.

Orders containing certain add-ons

Some of the add-ons proved more popular than expected — which is lovely! But it meant I had to reprint some stickers, make all the individual comic prints, request a shipment of books from offsite storage, etc, etc. So, any orders which contain an out-of-stock item are still waiting to ship.

All that missing stuff, though, is en route to me at this very second! So those orders will be going out pretty dang soon!

Custom items

I’ve already been in touch directly with the backers who ordered custom collages! Those will be created (and sent to you) after all the other shipments are complete. I’m excited for those, they’ll be fun! My pleasant dessert after the hearty meal of all the other orders.

Anything wrong?

I’m very grateful to the few folks who’ve contacted me to report some kind of issue with their shipment! Thankfully, problems are rare, but when they do occur, I would like to solve them. Please don’t hesitate to send me an email (replying to your shipping confirmation works great) if there’s anything about your order I can correct.

Reviews & photos

On BoardGameGeek are highly appreciated!

Unless you hate the game! You are entitled to that opinion, but please send that review directly to me instead of telling anyone else, so I can eat it and bury it in the yard and watch it grow into a twisted, gnarled tree. Or whatever!
