Comic Transcripts

[[A man in a hat is sitting on the ground; a woman with a headscarf and carrying a bushel and a pail is standing.]]

Man: Any change? Fifty cents? A quarter? Just twenty-five cents, that’s all I ask.
Woman: Sorry, no change.

Man: Whaddaya Got? Credit card? Check? can you write me a check? Go on, write me a check, that’ll work.
Woman: I don’t even have my checkbook with me.

Man: That’s okay, write it when you get home and send it to me.
Woman: I’m not going to spend thirty-nine cents on a stamp to send you a check for a quarter.

Man: Don’t put a stamp on it! Just put me as the return address, and when it’s marked “insufficient postage,” it’ll be sent back to me.
Woman: This seems like a lot of trouble.
Man: Only for YOU, and I don’t care about you!

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!
