#762; Another Complaint Stymied

Comic Transcripts

[[A lady sits in a chair, holding a fan.]]
Lady: Do you realize there are probably products in this world that have made no one happy at all, ever.
Lady: The person on the oil rig wasn’t happy. The people in the plastic refinery or whatever weren’t happy. The guy driving the truck and the kid stocking the store shelves were both unhappy.
Lady: Someone bought it for a birthday she didn’t want to attend, the recipient hated it, the dude at the Goodwill threw it away and the garbageman destroyed it.
Lady: And it’s incredibly unlikely that there exist ANY products in which every part of that supply chain WAS happy. Someone was having a bad day SOMEWHERE.
Lady: Which means that overall, the net happiness of all products in the world combined is negative.
Lady: We’re living in a wasteland of misery!

[[The gentleman he is talking to kisses her on the head.]]
Gentleman: Well, that’s why you’re here, sweetie. To balance things back out a bit with your joyfulness.

[[“LATER”: The lady looks very anxious. Her friend talks to her.]]
Friend: Was he being sarcast-
Lady: I don’t KNOW if he was being sarcastic!

{{Alt-text: “This is a serious issue!” she said, to which he responded, gravely and with full eye contact, “Yes. VERY serious.”}}

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.
