#722; The Reputation of the Mexican

Comic Transcripts

[[Two aliens with long spiky feathers crowning their bird-style feathered heads address a middle-aged woman with her hair pulled back severely, dressed in a long-sleeved dark dress with an apron. She is holding a round serving tray in her right hand, angled against her body, and has her left arm akimbo. She responds to them in a matter-of-fact yet kindly manner.]]
Mexican alien #1: We are ALONE. Refugees on this planet!
Mexican alien #2: Since much of our matter-energy was expended on the journey to earth, and our cruiser’s engines run only on Mexican matter…we are STUCK HERE until we can grow some more mass!
Woman: You know, I know someone you might get along with!

[[Woman at left; Gax, dressed in a suit, at right, with 19th-century industrial-age residential buildings faintly visible in the in background.]]
Woman: Hey Gax, do you know the MEXICANS? Kinda funny-looking alien fellows?
Gax: The Mexicans! Of course! Known throughout the universe for their bravery, loyalty, and work ethic!

[[Woman at left, behind Gax, looks on disapprovingly,eyebrows slightly raised, her eyes fixed on the aliens as she hears his reaction. Gax, just left of center, holding his walking stick in his right hand like Moses’ rod, does not appear any too enthused to see the aliens. On the right, the two aliens, with bodies like plucked uncooked chickens except with armlike appendages instead of wings, ending in two grotesque long curled fingers, stare fixedly up at Gax as he makes his pronouncement. The bulging eyes of one show dismay; the other looks shocked or startled.]]
Gax: Oh, THESE Mexicans.

These guys are just a bunch of accountants and cobblers!

Buy a Print

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.
