Comic Transcripts

[[A woman carrying a bundle walks down a country lane with a bearded old man in a robe.]]
Man: Look, a doggie! Hi there baby! Look who’s a cute little guy!
Woman: Don’t go near him, he’s probably rabid or something.

Man: Rabid?! When’s the last time you saw a rabid dog around here? When have you *ever* seen a rabid dog? I guarantee that there are more people *afraid* of rabid dogs than there actually *are* rabid dogs by a factor of at least a hundred. Once again, logic trumps caution.

[[The woman has left.]]

Man: Well, looks like it’s just you and me, buddy.
Dog: RRRRRRR

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.
