Comic Transcripts

[[Continued from the previous comic: BEA and FERNANDO ride a rail-cart along a track, still holding either irons or lanterns.]]
FERNANDO: The problem with Procrastinators Anonymous is that they all sit around going to meetings instead of actually doing work. Talking about being productive is not the same as actually being productive. It’s just people complaining about things instead of fixing them.
FERNANDO: I’m a man of action. I can’t abide all this talk. I want stuff to HAPPEN.

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.
