#590; In which Excitement is tempered

Comic Transcripts

[[Man wearing piratey hat, coat and breeches watches woman in cap, long dress and apron hanging laundry on an outdoor clothesline]]
Man: Yeah! LAUNDRY gettin’ DONE!
Woman: We’re ROCKIN’ it We’re ROLLIN’ it We’re DRYIN’ it DENYIN’ it …the right to be wet anymore

[[Man continues to lurk behind laundress while supportively conversing about her work]]
Man: Lookit that FORM! Lookit that TECHNIQUE! Baby this laundry don’t stand a CHANCE!
Woman: Aw, P’shaw, B! Any dang fool can get on this train! It’s just clothespins and finger-squeeze! Old LADIES got this noise covered!

[[Man changes direction of his lurk and continues]]
Man: I can dig it. It ain’t the process, it’s the MEANING. It’s putting a hand in the windstream of that old, ancient interplay between fabric and moisture.
Woman: It’s like Don’t matter how rich you are. Your sheets still gotta get dry.
Man: Are we on a ley line? You got my toes trembling. This is METAPHOR-Y. This is LAUNDRY cranked to ELEVEN.

[[Man continues lurking in a supervisory fashion]]
Woman: So you FEELIN’ it then! You got it so deep in your bones that you’re fixin’ to grab up a pin and help a sister out!
Man: Well hold on I mean the scale goes up to 43

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.
