Comic Transcripts

LEON [[gently caressing the horse BUTTERCUP]]: You can’t be a veterinarian if you love animals. Always seeing them in pain…and so often knowing there’s nothing you can do… …it would deaden your sensitivity to the preciousness of all the Earth’s living things.

LEON: A better vet would be someone SOCIOPATHICALLY INDIFFERENT to the suffering of God’s creatures. Only then would he or she be able to maintain professionalism in the face of each day’s crippling tragedy.

LEON: That’s why I should be your first choice for pet surgery! I’ll display an inhuman detachment during your Snookie’s suffering, or you get half off your first cremation! Leon’s Budget Veterinary – on Sixth, upstairs from Payday-Loans-N-Go!
MARC [[running the camera]]: I think we need to have a talk about marketing.

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.
