Comic Transcripts

[[A woman approaches another woman, sitting on a porch stoop in the midst of a snowstorm.]]

First Woman: My dear woman, please, come in, out of the cold!
Second Woman: Oh, thank you…
Second Woman: So kind you are! And your aura – so vibrant and green!

Second Woman: Like a meadow in springtime, or a brisk blade of grass, glistening with dew. You are a nurturer! You are strong!
First Woman: Oh, you are so right, you don’t even know… I do nurture when I get the time

Second Woman: Yes, it shines brightly, even through the many layers of your ridiculous coat.
Man: Hey, are you reading auras?
Man: Neat-o! What’s my aura? What color am I?

Second Woman: You… you seem to be covered in a dingy yellow, a sort of amber, like –
Man: …Like I’m drenched in urine, yeah, but what about my aura?

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.
