#844; The Narrowest Policy They Offer

Comic Transcripts

[[ A young woman is talking to her aging mother ]]
Daughter: Mom, do you have life insurance?
Mom: Oh, yes, dear.
Mom: I have extremely comprehensive coverage. It pays out different amounts depending on the circumstances of my death.

Mom: For example, if I am killed leaping from one speedboat to another
Mom: Either by the shock of hitting the water or if I am mangled by one of the propellers
Mom: The insurance pays for a memorial statue of me down at the marina
Mom: as a cautionary tale of sorts

Mom: If I am killed wrestling a bear to protect an infant, the insurance pays for one hundred bears to be killed and my body entombed in a crypt made from their bones
Mom: And naturally, if my heart explodes while I’m attempting to become the oldest woman ever to singlehandedly obliterate an entire camp of terrorists with just my wrinkled fists
Mom: the insurance will erect an obelisk in my honor that will blot out the sun

Daughter: What if you, like, die of cancer?
Mom: Why would I do that

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.
