Comic Transcripts

PANEL 1: A man and woman in pajamas creep through a darkened house. He: “Shhh…Shhhhh!” Some kind of laughing garbled speech is emanating from off-panel…
PANEL 2: “I knew it!” the man cries. “Dishes goblins!” Sure enough, a pair of gibbering goblin-like creaturs with snouts, talons, twisting tails and carapaces are fussing about the kitchen sink, filling it with dishes.
PANEL 3: “I knew SOMETHING was leaving all those dirty dishes in the sink,” says the man. The woman is suddenly concerned: “But THAT means… the LAUNDRY…”
PANEL 4: The woman enters the laundry room to find one of the goblins sitting in the dirty laundry hamper, wearing one of her bras.
PANEL 5: The man turns his head away. “Why do I feel embarrassed, like WE’RE the ones interrupting”
She, however, is not so sanguine: “THAT’S why the elastic is always giving out! It’s scraping on their scales!” The goblin chitters!

PANEL 1: A man and woman in pajamas creep through a darkened house. He: "Shhh...Shhhhh!" Some kind of laughing garbled speech is emanating from off-panel...
PANEL 2: "I knew it!" the man cries. "Dishes goblins!" Sure enough, a pair of gibbering goblin-like creaturs with snouts, talons, twisting tails and carapaces are fussing about the kitchen sink, filling it with dishes.
PANEL 3: "I knew SOMETHING was leaving all those dirty dishes in the sink," says the man. The woman is suddenly concerned: "But THAT means... the LAUNDRY..."
PANEL 4: The woman enters the laundry room to find one of the goblins sitting in the dirty laundry hamper, wearing one of her bras.
PANEL 5: The man turns his head away. "Why do I feel embarrassed, like WE'RE the ones interrupting"
She, however, is not so sanguine: "THAT'S why the elastic is always giving out! It's scraping on their scales!" The goblin chitters!

The irony is that it's, like, 4pm. It's just winter.

New ways to get Bolted!

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.
