Comic Transcripts

[[BIMPLEY, JELLINA, and SAXOR arrive home in their automobile. They’re kind of all crammed in there.]]

JELLINA: Home sweet home. You guys hang out, I’ll pop in to check on the dogs?
JELLINA: See how much FREAKING OUT they did today.
BIMPLEY: Okey-dokey!
JELLINA: Then we can take our customary three-person shower.

[[Jellina leaves Bimpley and Saxor nestled in the car.]]

SAXOR: You get good material for your FARM VIOLENCE podcast today?
BIMPLEY: DECENT! There WAS quite a bit of violence, and it DID occur on a farm
BIMPLEY: I’m hoping all the, y’know, MANGLING won’t come across as glorified or gratuitous?
BIMPLEY: Standing there, watching the situation unfold, it was CLEARLY all NECESSARY… but it might be hard to make it clear in audio.

SAXOR: THEATRE of the MIND.
BIMPLEY: EXACTLY. The audience will have to IMAGINE all the details of the confrontation.
BIMPLEY: Which is a shame! It was INCREDIBLY interesting to see! Real pulse-pounding spectacle. I’ll have to just ALLUDE to how THRILLING it was. And hope they get the basic idea.

SAXOR: I’m sure they will. Man, I can’t WAIT for this shower.
BIMPLEY: SAME! Talk about a PULSE-POUNDING spectacle!

[[Jellina returns with bad news.]]

SAXOR: How are the dogs?
JELLINA: BAD NEWS. While we were all gone, they started their own podcast.
BIMPLEY: DANG it! So I DID forget to close the baby gate on the V.O. booth!!

Applications open for Genius Northwest – an IRL gaming competition

Last year, I participated in Genius Northwest, a gaming competition inspired by the Korean gameshow The Genius and its ilk.

It’s a reality show without the cameras — a 3-day, all-inclusive weekend retreat structured around a series of challenges and puzzles, in which personalities and dealmaking matter as much as playing games.

It’s truly a remarkable thing. I came in dead last in the competition, but I still had a great time participating.

The event is held annually in the Pacific Northwest (hence the name) and applications are now open to participate in the 2026 competition!

Learn more — and apply — at GeniusNW.com.
