Comic Transcripts

[[A tall man stands proudly, speaking to a shorter man in a fur cap.]]

Tall man: People are sheep. I don’t like anything that the masses like.

Tall man: Hollywood movies? Please. Corporate radio? Gag me.

[[He holds out what appears to be a large bell. Earphones run from the bell to the shorter man’s ears.]]

Tall man: Instead of homogenized crap, listen to this indie track from my non-iPod MP3 player.

Shorter man: You don’t watch TV, do you?
Tall man: TV? Ugh. More like VD.

Shorter man: ‘Cause this song was on a Burger King commercial.
[[The tall man recoils, grasping his head as if in pain]]
Tall man: AAH MY INDIE CRED

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.
