Comic Transcripts

[[A man is pushing a baby carriage containing what appears to be a very large guinea pig]]
Man: I guess this is it. Time to say goodbye

Man: I found you in a field. Little shivering ball of fur. Raised you, fed you, kept you warm at night. You doubled in size every year. Ate nothing but hair. Howled on federal holidays. Always smelled like a wet anthill. This is somewhat less than ideal

[[The beast flies up into the air, revealing a large pair of frog legs in place of its hind legs]]
Man: So GO! Fly back to your strange kind! BEGONE from our lives!

[[The man is now alone with the carriage in the final panel]]
Man: Come back if you get rich

{{alt-text: I’m sorry we could not see you through to the chrysalis stage but we simply do not have room in the garage for the cocoon}}

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.
