Comic Transcripts

A typical Wondermark scene: a grumpy-looking man adorned as a full one-man band is suddenly passed by a speeding biker on a penny-farthing.

BIKER: Get bent, IDIOT!

BANDMAN: HOW DARE YOU! You have NO RIGHT to call me an idiot! Do you KNOW me? Do you live inside this skull with me?

Bandman continues to pace, agitated.

BANDMAN: You’re just GUESSING! I know I’m an idiot, but who the hell are YOU? PRESUMPTUOUS!

The Biker returns, somewhat chagrined.

BIKER: You’re right. I made a hasty assumption because you are standing in the bike lane like a big dumb idiot.

BANDMAN: That’s fine, man! I don’t even disagree, just show your work!

I don't demand courtesy, but I do demand rigor!

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.
