Comic Transcripts

IQBAL: Hello sir for order a camel?
REGINALD: Capital! Thank you! Just one question before I set off. How HIGH can this beast fly?
Are we talking MOUNTAIN-VAULTING altitudes or is it more a GRAZE-THE-STEEPLES type of affair?

IQBAL: Fly?
REGINALD: You know, SOAR. Flappity-flap like a bird, or however it does it.
I admit to being a bit foggy on the KINESIOLOGY.
IQBAL: This camel is NEVER fly. Can not even JUMP good.
REGINALD: Ah. I SEE. The brochure was misleading.
Very well. How deep can it DIVE? And will I breathe INSIDE the hump, or…?

IQBAL: No! NOT for swim! This camel is DROWNING if you swim. Weak legs! You lose your deposit!
REGINALD: POGO, then. CAN the camel POGO.
IQBAL: Po-
POGO, sir?
REGINALD: You know! SPROING SPROING HOPPITY-HOP! CAN the camel POGO!

IQBAL: Sir this camel is TOTALLY incapable of any pogo. Its feet is NEVER fit on a human pogo, and QUADRUPED CAMEL POGOS is a thing science does NOT invented yet.
REGINALD: Hang it all! Then WHAT is this blasted camel GOOD for?
CAMEL (thinking): Geez that’s what I’M starting to wonder.

Applications open for Genius Northwest – an IRL gaming competition

May 8, 2026 by David Malki !

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.
