Comic Transcripts

[[On a town street. MIRGANAN and DOCKBURT ELLBOUGH stand looking at each other.]]

MIRGANAN: I say! Aren’t you the famous film actor Macky Ellbough? I loved you in those commercials for some food or other!

DOCKBURT: ‘Fraid not, old chap. I’m Dockburt Ellbough, Macky’s twin brother, stunt double, camera stand-in, fight coordinator, acting teacher, AND manners coach.

DOCKBURT: I cook his meals, choose AND tailor his shirts, advise him on investments, read scripts he’s been sent, negotiate his contracts, notarize his signatures, and feed his cats when he’s away.
DOCKBURT: I’m his butler, driver, manager, and agent. I screen his calls, take his dictation, and answer his fan mail.

DOCKBURT: I’m his personal attorney, his chiropractor, his emergency contact, and holder of his medical advance directive.
DOCKBURT: I break in his sneakers, pre-warm his bedclothes and eat all his leftovers.

DOCKBURT: I model for his clothing line, voice his animated TV roles, and, should the need ever arise, will gladly be a guinea pig for any type of experimental surgery.
DOCKBURT: So NO, I’m not him, but I’d be happy to answer any questions, sign an autograph in his handwriting, or take a selfie with you!

MIRGANAN: Nah, that’s okay, I’d hoped you were Macky. You really DO like EXACTLY like him.

DOCKBURT: Well, naturally… I wouldn’t be a very good NUDE SCENE BUTT DOUBLE if I didn’t!

I mean, you seem nice and all, but I was hoping to meet the real STAR, y'know?

New ways to get Bolted!

July 24, 2026 by David Malki !

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.
