Comic Transcripts

Hey, Leo! You think I could get those scissors back? Been a couple months.
Oh, sure! You want your precious scissors back?

Well, here you go! Take ’em back!

In fact, why don’t you take your saxophone too, while you’re at it!

And your record player! And you battle-ax! Just take back everything you lent me! Take your globe and your radiator and your luggage and your first wife!

How’d it go next door?
The good news is, we got the scissors back.

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!
