Comic Transcripts

[[A man with enormous mutton chops is examining a note and talking to a bald, burly-looking man who is standing behind a table.]]
Mutton Chops: I can’t make heads or tails of it, Ken. I’ve slashed employee wages, doubled retail prices…

I’ve fired anyone with a pension and hired a bunch of low-wage immigrants…

But it’s no use! I just don’t know where the money goes.

[[A chubby man with a walrus moustache comes in to the left of Mutton Chops and Ken, struggling under the weight of an enormous summer sausage.]]

Ken: I would start by checking Johann’s expense accounts for Hickory Farms receipts.
Johann: Hey, shut up, man, I got needs!

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.
