#324; In which Alvin chooses wisely

Comic Transcripts

MISS TRUNDLE: AAAH! That Walt-Whitman-headed bat is back!
ALVIN: I told you to be more uptight with your gardening! You’re inviting in all sorts of crazies. What with your assorted wildflowers.

WALT-WHITMAN-HEADED BAT: O listen, unimpressed mortals –
WALT-WHITMAN-HEADED BAT: Shall I grant you each some wish?
WALT-WHITMAN-HEADED BAT: Some small boon, some favor, some easy accessory against each day’s uneasy burden? So that your young, handsome faces may shine with newfound delight?

MISS TRUNDLE: A wish, eh? Well, let’s see here…
MISS TRUNDLE: With only one shot, I better make it good…wishing for more wishes is always out…how about wishing for the best possible wish? Would that even work?

WALT-WHITMAN-HEADED BAT: Okay, I get it. You wish you were more decisive. How about you?
ALVIN: I want to be able to jump into my pants with both legs at once.
WALT-WHITMAN-HEADED BAT: Oh man yes! AWESOME! In fact, BAM! Now EVERYONE can do that!

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.
