#1527; A Light for the Leftovers

Comic Transcripts

[[Outdoors, a portico. AGNESIA stands on the porch, pointing to the side. BUNBURY, wearing roller skates, slouches despondently on the ground.]]

AGNESIA: Hey, you left the fridge open again.
BUNBURY: Yes. The light shuts off when the door closes.

BUNBURY: The occupants of the fridge spend most of their time in utter darkness…this is punctuated only by moments when they are either CHOSEN to be eaten or shown that someone ELSE’S time has come, and thus reminded that theirs will soon.

[[Bunbury looks away from Agnesia.]]

BUNBURY: I felt that the foods that NOURISH us do not deserve to also be PUNISHED as they wait out the final days of their existence. So I wanted them to at LEAST have LIGHT.

[[Bunbury looks back towards Agnesia.]]

AGNESIA: You’re letting all the cold out.
BUNBURY: Do not worry. It is not the MACHINERY that chills the enclosure. It is their FEAR. Bathe them in darkness once more and it will replenish itself rapidly.

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.
