Comic Transcripts

[[ABELARD and JOHNSON talk in the doorway of a fruit shoppe.]]
ABELARD: Afternoon, Johnson. Oversleep again?
JOHNSON: What a waking-centric thing to say!

JOHNSON: Who says it’s preferable to be awake? Pardon me if I relish my nightly visits to a lyrical realm of magic beauty. Why is that something I have to apologize for? So I don’t like leaving that all behind. Who would?
JOHNSON: And since the alternative is this mundane world you seem to cherish so much – well, frankly, it’s a wonder I ever get out of bed at all.

ABELARD: Great, but you’re still fired.
JOHNSON: Oh, man, déjà vû, WEIRD. Next you’re gonna drag me out in the parking lot and slap me.

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!
