Comic Transcripts

[[A senior with a top hat and glasses, accompanied by a younger adult wearing some kind of headscarf, talks to a scout of some kind holding binoculars.]]
Tophat: What’re conditions like? Any forecast?
Scout: Looking grim for early next week! Monday’s gonna be a big one!

Headscarf: A big storm?
Scout: A big Monday! The worst in years! Could be up to 97 hours long!
Scout: At least four sunrises! Early reports suggest the date MIGHT hit triple digits!

Headscarf: What can we do?
Scout: Get out your funny mugs! Bone up on your Garfield! Just gonna have to grit it out!

[[A young child brings news.]]
Tophat: Any indication about the weekend leading up?
Scout: May be as short as thirty-five minutes.
Headscarf: Oh god… we’re still rebuilding from TGIWTF!
Child: Almost a RIOT at the store! I got all the kitten posters I could grab!

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.
