Comic Transcripts

VIC: Is that it? The one you wanted?
CALVIN: Yes! My dear chap! Wherever did you find it?

CALVIN: This was my first book as a boy – filled with vivid descriptions of the workings of the world around us – this is the book that ignited my passion for learning! For scholarship! For a lifelong journey of self – and other – discovery!

CALVIN: Oh, I’ve searched for it for ages. Pored through dusty stacks to no avail. Searched every catalog I could get my grubby paws on?but where I failed, lad, you prevailed. Tell me! How did you locate it? On which remove bookshelf did you peep its flaking spine?

VIC: I just did an Ebay search on the title. “Poops! Taken, or Left Behind?”
CALVIN: It hath taught me everything in life worth knowing?!

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.
