Comic Transcripts

[[A mansion on a hill.]]
Interrogator: Take the gag from his mouth. I will ask once more. When is the armada coming?
Prisoner: Right … after … your mom — last night

Interrogator: So, he likes to crack jokes! Maybe the acid would like to hear your jokes, yes?
Prisoner: (head-down in vat of acid) BLRRGGHHBLBB

[[The prisoner’s head emerges. He is a historical figure …]]
Interrogator: You are NOT FUNNY, James Garfield! You are NOT FUNNY, Mister Twentieth President of the United States! Everybody, repeat after me: GARFIELD IS NOT FUNNY

Applications open for Genius Northwest – an IRL gaming competition

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.
