Comic Transcripts

[[A man, who we’ll call EDGAR, sits at a table resting his head on one hand and eyeing a bottle on the table.]]
EDGAR: I’m tired of drinking my life away. Time to sober up and get back to the real world.

[[EDGAR stands and is now talking to his wife ALBERTA.]]
EDGAR: Honey, I’m off the sauce and back for good.
ALBERTA: Oh, good. Then you can help me with the bankruptcy filing.

EDGAR: B-bankruptcy?
ALBERTA: We have to get the papers in by morning or they foreclose on the house.
ALBERTA: Then we’ve got Billy’s juvie hearing, but the car blew a head gasket, so we’ll have to leave at five AM to catch the bus. Also, the basement is flooded, your mother keeps calling, and I’m pregnant.

[[EDGAR returns to the table, eyeing the bottle once more.]]

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.
