#1134; Southening the Deal

Comic Transcripts

[[Two businesspeople are discussing a deal. One, Dan, seems concerned.]]
Dan: …I agree, the terms are bad. I’m just not sure how we can get OUT of the deal.
Jesse: Tell him YOU’RE all for it, but I’VE put my foot down. Not your fault, nothing you can do!
Jesse: He doesn’t know me. Make ME the bad guy, I don’t care!

[[Dan discusses the matter with the partner in question. Dan holds his head in his hands, weeping.]]
Partner: So, are we moving forward?
Dan: Oh my god… I’m so glad you came by! It’s my partner… Jesse…
Dan: He’s… I would call it ABUSIVE…
Dan: He won’t LET me do it… he BEAT me with his shoe! He said, “Dan, for EVERY MINUTE we’re still in this deal, I’m going to whip you seven times!”

[[Dan appears even more distressed as he elaborates.]]
Dan: He keeps me locked in my office for WHOLE WEEKENDS, shoving tortillas and other narrow-format foods through the mail slot on Sunday mornings…
Dan: I’d make a run for it, but he KNOWS I stole some copy paper for my ill-conceived bildungsroman and I’m CERTAIN he keeps a knife hidden in his hair at all times. I’m afraid of what he’ll DO to me if I don’t show up with the contract SHREDDED and EATEN!

[[Back to Jesse, where four police officers have appeared to accost him. Dan rubs his head, realizing his error.]]
Dan: I maaay have over-sold the concept

{{alt-text: I’ve heard of business casual, but this gravy-stained burlap he forces me to steal from illicit boxcars and weave into a shapeless garment is ridiculous}}

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.
