#597; An Act of Altruism

Comic Transcripts

Lady: Ahh, I cut my finger on this stupid zipper!
Lady: I guess I gotta be more careful.

Lawyer: Perhaps the zipper is at fault! Are you hurt badly?
Lady: No, in fact it’s already healed.
Lawyer: Any zipper that can nick flesh might also maim flesh!
Lawyer: And millions of people use these dangerous zippers every day! The potential for serious injury is staggering.

Lawyer: Would you be interested in participating in a class action? To punish the zipper company for is cavalier pursuit of never-ending profits at the expense of ordinary, hardworking, zipper-reliant citizens like yourself?
Lawyer: You could be entitled to a cash settlement. With enough defendants, we’d be talking about millions.

[[Three years later]]
Lawyer: Good news! The court has ordered the Y.K.K. Zipper Corporation to pay fifty million dollars!
Lawyer: Split among two million defendants, that’s a cool nine bucks cash for your, my friend!
Woman: … That only accounts for eighteen million dollars. What about the rest.
Lawyer: Well, you know.
Lawyer: FEES

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.
