Comic Transcripts

[[A doctor is talking to a patient, who is holding a large glass mug.]]
Doctor: So you definitely have a strawberry allergy.
Patient: Oh NO! I LOVE strawberries!

Patient: I have strawberries every MORNING! I named my dog SHORTCAKE! This is a strawberry smoothie RIGHT NOW!
Doctor: Well, that’s where your hives are coming from.

Patient: But… I’ve already made a month’s worth of smoothies…!
Doctor: I’m sympathetic but I’m not really in charge of your body’s histamine

[[The patient opens his mouth and slowly brings the straw to his lips, staring at the doctor in shock.]]

[[The patient drinks.]]
Patient: SSSHHHPPPP

Doctor: You understand that you are literally poisoning yourself right now
Patient: Not ENTIRELY!
Patient: It’s also got, like, vitamins!

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.
