Comic Transcripts

You know what I hate?
I’m sure I will in a second.
Lazy writers who explain everything with “quantum theory.”

Time travel? QUANTUM THERORY! Teleportation? QUANTUM THERORY! Microwave burritos? QUANTUM THERORY!

Just because the details of quantum physics are largely unexplained doesn’t mean the term can be blithely applied to everything that seems impossible!

But… that’s what YOU do! That’s EXACTLY what you do!
That’s my point! Everyone else has to come up with their own shtick!
Marcus! That’s not the money from the charity raffle, is it?
QUANTUM THERORY!

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.
