Comic Transcripts

[[Two men stand in front of a hole in the ground]]
Man 1: I can’t believe it! Finally finished! Twenty long years of sweat … but we’ve managed to actually dig a hole to China.

Man 2: Well, what now? What should we ask them? Do we trade flags or something?
Man 1: I guess let’s start with something simple.

Man 1: Helloooo! What’s the weather like over there?
Hole: We are bathing in the bile of tortured souls. It is our only respite from the constant, searing torment of the knowledge that love has abandoned us.

Man 2: Are you sure this tunnel goes to China?
Man 1: Do you have any cheap DVDs?
Hole: We’ll send some up.

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.
