Panel 1:
Mike: Lisa! I met this guys at the bar and he's interested in publishing my board game!
Panel 2:
Mike: I've barely even scratched the surface and already this board game hobby is really taking off!
Lisa: (examining business card) "rarogames.com." This business card has perforation marks.
Panel 3:
Mike: Maybe I can quit web design!
Lisa: (looking at site on smart phone. Oh who am I kidding. It's an iPhone.) Looks like he has yet to actually publish a game...
Panel 4:
Mike: *Gasp* I think I might have been...discovered!
Lisa: By Randy Rogers, insurance agent and fellow board game hobbyist.
I love Mike’s expressions in this comic. I feel like I can relate to him, too… I had a similar experience in high school with an online publisher. It turns out they sold your own published work back to you for $100 per book. Hopefully, Mike has a better experience than I had.
Yeah, I am currently out of work and I am amazed at the number of scammers out there this time around. I get a call every week from another one that wants me to get in on a multi-level marketing insurance deal.

I had this happen once as well. Thankfully, I had other, legit publications to help salvage my pride. :/
Don’t give him any money, Mike!!
Yep, mine only cost me $45 though. One or two of the other poems were worth reading… the rest… ehhh….
Also, I bet he’d totally use green stuff instead of Sculpey! xD
Insurance agents! My arch nemesiseseses… wait, how do you spell that?
I know the feeling… Just like being offered a great-paying job only to find out that it is a network marketing venture.
@Spicytacoman: I’m going to say “arch-nemeses”, but I have not sold insurance for more than 15 years now, so we should be okay
Mike’s face makes me feel excited
haha

someone should remind Mike that you can’t be “discovered” until you actually have a demonstrable product or talent…
