Comic Transcripts

[[A man in a tuxedo is holding a buxom woman in a low-cut gown; they are talking to Davey, a skeleton.]]

Woman: Davey! What’s this I hear about you not going to the prom?
Davey: Yeah, well, I’ve got nobody to dance with.

Man: Ha ha ha! No BODY!
Woman: That’s okay, you can still go stag, right?
Davey: I-I don’t think I have the guts.

Man: Hee hee hee!
Woman: Oh, Davey. You are so funny! That’s what I love about you.

You are such a sweetheart. Any girl would be lucky to have you. Just give it time!

[[The two leave Davey standing alone.]]

[[Davey lowers his head, sadly.]]

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.
