#587; Finally—Purpose!

Comic Transcripts

TODD: I just had the best idea!
Think about your dog.
Now think about his ALLERGIES.
That’s dog’s probably suffering all day long, but YOU’D never know it!

TODD: Here is my plan. A store where I sell allergy-relief products for dogs.
I am talking ALL kinds of products! ANTIHISTAMINES. MUZZLE masks. BUBBLE suits.
[[LAVERNE is regarding him skeptically.]]
TODD: OUR OWN LINE of bubble suits! QUADRUPEDAL bubble suits!
I could DO this. I could really make this HAPPEN.

TODD: You ever have a moment that it feels like your WHOLE LIFE has been leading up to?
Like all the random stuff I’ve done over the years has just been to EQUIP ME PERFECTLY for THIS.
I have a MEDICAL background. I’m a PLASTICS enthusiast. I even have a friend trying to break his lease on
LAVERNE: YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE OPERATING ON MY BABY!

[[TODD has donned a surgical cap and mask. He stands over a table on which a baby lies. He scowls and a foul miasma of disgust emanates from his head.]]

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.
