Comic Transcripts

[[Two peaches held in the palm of a hand.]]
CHRIS: Two peaches left on Gramma’s old tree.

CHRIS: Not very ripe.
MEG: Agggh. Super sour.

CHRIS: I was hoping this would be all POETIC. Last peaches on the tree, every other branch bare. Gramma’s last gift to us.
They’d be DELICIOUS and we’d remember all the great times and have one final moment with her memory.

CHRIS: But nope, it’s just a couple of gross peaches.
MEG: The hundred ripe ones were her gifts to the birds

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!
