Comic Transcripts

DREW: So, what do you think of my proposal?
STUMPY: Huh. Well…I hate to say it, but I’m not too keen on it.

[[Exterior of a large house.]]
STUMPY: The main problem is that you just get bogged down in so many details. I say, forget the specifics. You’re just giving people more to disagree with. Just find that compelling core idea – that little kernel buried deep inside. Selling his tiny fried chicken.

DREW: Why am I itching? Oh, that’s right – I’m HORRIBLY ALLERGIC TO PUNS.
STUMPY: I was gonna overlook the proposal’s shortcomings and marry you anyway.
STUMPY: But now you’re doggin’ on my jokes!

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.
