i just wanted someone to NOTICE me

This Classic Wondermark was originally published in 2007, in black & white! It was colored by Carly Monardo for its inclusion in my book Clever Tricks to Stave Off Death (which has a brand-new paperback edition). The book also contains an informative sidebar about Milestones in Car-Alarm History.

Now crowdfunding: My new game! 🔩 BOLTED 🔩

Today is the launch of my new weird card game, Bolted, on Backerkit!

Bolted is a puzzle game in which you build Wondermark-style characters out of individual parts cards. It’s a game of “making friends”! See what I did there!!

It’s quick, strategic, and always ends up with a very strange result:

I’m not certain it’s the best idea to give every “friend” you make in this game terrible existential agony, but it’s what I’m going with for now.

Backers who pledge to Bolted in the first 48 hours — so, by 9:59am Pacific on Saturday March 15 — will also get a Gax bonus card for free!

NOTE: GAX DOES NOT LIKE THIS, BUT I AM HIS BOSS

Repeat backers (from any of my previous crowdfunding projects) will also get a very powerful Piranhamoose Antlers card:

All the final game cards will be in color like these; the black & white example above is just for playtesting purposes.
