Comic Transcripts

In this Wondermark comic, SCRUNCHIN is slumped in a folding chair, while his good friend BORNDOGH looks on, clutching a cane.

S: Weird how when your MEAT feels bad, YOU feel bad. Do I have this headache BECAUSE I have indigestion? Or are my GUTS nauseous because I’m mentally stressed out?

S (gesturing to his head): The meat parts are all making EACH OTHER grumpy. It’s a vicious cycle! And it’s not JUST the meats! There’s the SPARKY BITS up here too! THEY got their OWN problems! SPARKS are interacting with FATS and I can’t make heads or tails of it!

S: And what about all the JUICES and GOOPS in there?

B: If you got too much of one goop and not enough of another, WATCH OUT.

S: My GOOPS are askew! They’re oozing and splashing and getting all in each other’s business! And somehow that is making ME, the real human boy at the center of it all, MISERABLE. What a racket!

S: I am left to conclude that I got TOO many WEIRD goops, and NOT enough GOOD goops. CLINICALLY.

B: The old folks were right all along! I guess your humours CAN get out of balance

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.
