Comic Transcripts

SIMA: Got those Christmas cards done yet?
YOUSEF: Not quite. I got tired of licking envelopes. So instead I’ve been developing meat-flavored envelope glue…figure I’ll put this freeloader to work a bit.
LUCILLE (a dog): HRRRR HRRR

SIMA: Is this one of those schemes that takes more trouble to implement than the thing you’re trying to avoid doing?
YOUSEF: No, this is one of those schemes that makes us RICH. Dog owners are a huge, gullible market.

SIMA: That’s exactly what you said about “dog pogs.”
YOUSEF: I still have no idea why that didn’t take off. Dog pogs should’ve been THE hot item of 2005.

Applications open for Genius Northwest – an IRL gaming competition

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.
