#778; A Tough Day for Martin

Comic Transcripts

Fat lady in fur coat: …And I suppose you’re late with the rent -again- this month?
Spineless Marvin: Yes ma’am I’m sorry something came up
Marvin: See I got this call from my mom – she needed money real bad on account of a -tooth issue-

Marvin: By which I mean an issue of -Tooth Magazine- which is rare and increasingly hard to find on the secondary market
Marvin: She stumbled upon a good-condition April ’82 and, -well-, I’m her -boy-, she raised me with certain -values-, never to pass up an opportunity and so forth

Marvin (sweating): Anyway I sent her my rent money for the month, but she promised that she would photocopy several pages of the periodical for you
Marvin: Both for you to see that it truly is a quality piece and also just for you to keep as far as general enjoyment is concerned

[[LATER, AFTER HAVING READ THE MAGAZINE IN QUESTION]]
Fat lady: You tell your mother to get me page 64 so I can finish that article on tartar or so help me you’ll be on the street
Marvin: Please, Miz Dunlap, you are yelling at the world’s most broken man

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.
