#973; The Perfect Imitator

Comic Transcripts

[[Man at easel, has brushes in hand, painting on stand. Friend standing behind him.]]
Friend: That’s a heck of a landscape you’ve painted there!
Artist: I know! Isn’t its banality hilarious?

Artist: I hate landscape paintings so much. So simple and trite. “Oh, look at nature, or some crumbly old barn. Don’t you wish you were THERE instead of whatever dumb place you are?” SCREW you Landscape! You don’t OWN me!

Friend: It’s a super good painting, though.
Artist: Super good at mocking the tropes of landscape painting, maybe! It’s got all the dumb dappled light and everything. I spent two weeks making it look exactly as dull as a real landscape.

[[A woman has entered to the side, is talking with Friend.]]
Artist is still ranting: I even went to an art fesitval and sold limited edition Giiclee prints on Strathmore paper. It was Hilarious.
Friend (to woman) At what point will he realize that he’s no longer doing this ironically?
Woman: On, don’t tell him, it’ll break his little heart!

The vast majority of Bolted! game shipments are already shipped, but I understand if you don’t have yours yet, who cares. Here’s a progress report:

Total orders | 1052
Surveys completed | 992
Fully shipped | 946

Incomplete surveys

Obviously, if I don’t have your shipping address, I can’t ship your game! Let me know if you are missing a survey link. As new responses come in, they are rapidly added to the shipping queue.

Orders containing certain add-ons

Some of the add-ons proved more popular than expected — which is lovely! But it meant I had to reprint some stickers, make all the individual comic prints, request a shipment of books from offsite storage, etc, etc. So, any orders which contain an out-of-stock item are still waiting to ship.

All that missing stuff, though, is en route to me at this very second! So those orders will be going out pretty dang soon!

Custom items

I’ve already been in touch directly with the backers who ordered custom collages! Those will be created (and sent to you) after all the other shipments are complete. I’m excited for those, they’ll be fun! My pleasant dessert after the hearty meal of all the other orders.

Anything wrong?

I’m very grateful to the few folks who’ve contacted me to report some kind of issue with their shipment! Thankfully, problems are rare, but when they do occur, I would like to solve them. Please don’t hesitate to send me an email (replying to your shipping confirmation works great) if there’s anything about your order I can correct.

Reviews & photos

On BoardGameGeek are highly appreciated!

Unless you hate the game! You are entitled to that opinion, but please send that review directly to me instead of telling anyone else, so I can eat it and bury it in the yard and watch it grow into a twisted, gnarled tree. Or whatever!
