Comic Transcripts

HANS [[Chatting, walking, with CLAUDE]]: …so I toss the baby in the air and it’s gone. I mean POOF. VANISHED. Cloud of something like flour comes raining down on our heads.

HANS: Then the dog starts barking. Piano starts playing by itself. BAM! My tea freezes over. Flour hits the ground and it’s spiders. Little white spiders running around like mad. We want to scream but none of us can stop farting

[[They pass ALICE, wearing a man’s 3-piece suit.]]

HANS: What’s the deal with THAT weirdo.

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.
