Comic Transcripts

[[A sailor and a young boy are talking on the deck of a ship.]]

Cap’n Pegwood: Well, Bobby, looks like land ho over yonder.
Cap’n Pegwood: You’ll be snug back at home in no time.

Bobby: I had the best summer ever, Cap’n Pegwood!
Bobby: I can’t wait to tell everyone back home how much fun we had together at pirate camp!

Bobby: How we tied knots, and brewed grog, and divvied up the spoils of war…
Bobby: I’m… I’m really gonna miss you, Cap’n Pegwood.

Bobby: I bet my dumb parents never slaughtered a defenseless fishing village and took their women for scullery maids!
Cap’n Pegwood: Don’t be so harsh on the ol’ folks, Bobby! They still got wallets you kin steal from, ain’t they?

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.
