Comic Transcripts

[[An excited-looking man carrying a sack of money approaches a salesman with a large head, who is grinning smugly and gesturing to a creature. The creature is like a small boy, with the head of a duck, bill wide open, and a small top hat.]]
Man: You say you’ve cracked the secret to time travel?
Salesman: Yes! Just picture a point in time you’d like to visit in your head…

[[The salesman looks at the duck and his head seems to grow larger. The man blanches.]]
Salesman: …then French kiss this duck and poof! You transport to your destination!

[[The man looks suspicious. The salesman’s head grows even larger – it is now perhaps 1.5x taller than the man’s. He looks very angry and his mouth grows into a huge, gaping frown – he could easily swallow the other man’s head.]]
Man: …
Salesman: What. What’s the matter.

[[The salesman’s head is now extremely large, easily twice the width and height of the other man’s head. He shouts after the man, who has left, spit flying from his mouth. The duck-creature is confused.]]
Salesman: WHERE ARE YOU GOING.

Guest comic by KC Green

The final GCOAT comes courtesy of KC Green, whose stylings longtime readers will recognize. KC is the author of many comics including Gunshow, which is one of the funniest, strangest and occasionally grossest comics around. (Warning, Mom, it’s sometimes gross.) I also conducted an interview with KC recently for the TopatoBlog! I guess I did one with Chris Hastings too and forgot to mention it earlier.

KC has a new book up for pre-order now called The Blood Cloud and I suggest you get it. I have his previous volume, and I could read that thing all dang day. KC has a peculiar mastery over awkward glares, which are a fascinating recurring theme in his work.

New ways to get Bolted!

July 24, 2026 by David Malki !

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.
