Comic Transcripts

OLIVER: Here comes Larry the Language Nerd.
DINAH: Let’s mess with him.
OLIVER: Hey–uh–so–ANYWAYS
IRREGARDLESS of what him and me decided, we found a different book than that.

DINAH: Between all the ones you COULD OF got, SUPPOSABLY that one’s the most unique.
OLIVER: Yeah, but really, I COULD CARE LESS.
LARRY: Ha, ha, you guys.
Good try, but I’m OVER that now.
I know I’ve been a GRUMPY GRAMMAR GUS in the past, but I recently realized that the CORRECTION is often more annoying than the TRANSGRESSIONS.
So I don’t stress out about that type of thing any more!

[[LARRY strolls off happily.]]

OLIVER (offpanel): “Ginormous.”
[[LARRY reacts as if shot.]]
LARRY: AAAHHHHH

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.
