Comic Transcripts

[[A man, clearly distressed, speaks on the telephone while a radio plays beside him.]]

Radio: You know, Garrison’s right. It’s listeners like you that make public radio possible.

Man: Okay, can I have the CD AND the tote bag then?

Radio: We are a mewling kitten, in need of its mother’s teat.

Man: Fine, whatever, I’ll take the CD.
Man: Okay, now that I’ve pledged, what’s the secret frequency with no more program breaks?

Radio: …

Man: What do you MEAN, there isn’t one.

[[A Woman comforts the man as he rests his head in his hands mournfully.]]

Radio: We need ten thousand dollars in the next thirty seconds. I think we can do it.

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.
