#431; In which a Plate drives Parker to Anger

Comic Transcripts

[[We see a commemorative plate on a stand. It’s decorated with an American flag and a bald eagle, and the legend THE CHOSEN LAND.]]
PARKER (offpanel): Look at that.
You KNOW it was designed by some callous jerk trying to cash in on honest folks’ patriotism.

[[Pan out to PARKER and DAVE doing something involving a ladle and a container inside a wooden frame.]]
PARKER: “Do you love America? Buy my worthless crap to prove it!”
DAVE: You don’t know that it was jerk-created!
What if the artist poured out his genuine feelings onto that plate?
Maybe there just happens to be a market of people wanting to express how much they share his sentiment!

PARKER: I guess I just wish more people would share MY sentiments.
DAVE: Well, who knows? Maybe they do!
Why not put out your OWN plate and see how it does?

[[Another commemorative plate, apparently PARKER’s. It says “EVERYONE PLEASE STOP BUYING SO MUCH WORTHLESS CRAP.”]]

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.
