Comic Transcripts

MARC: You know how they’re always recalling products because they suddenly find out how toxic they are? And they never seem to figure it out until chumps like us have been using the product for years?

MARC: Which seemingly harmless substance that we use every day is actually slowly poisoning us? Lead. Asbestos. Teflon. Thalomide. Vioxx. Makes you wonder what’s next. What they haven’t figured out is deadly yet. So I’m just playing it safe.
SADIE: You seriously haven’t brushed your teeth since 1993?
MARC: I’m distrustful of fluoride and fluoride derivatives!

SADIE: You could have saved us both some time if you’d mentioned that in your Match.com profile.
MARC: Oh, I thought it was obvious when I said “I don’t let society’s frivolous protocols take precedence over my personal values.”

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.
