Comic Transcripts

LEONARD (pushing an empty pram): PARDON ME! You wouldn’t happen to have seen a BABY around here, would you?
‘Bout two feet long? Looks like me but smaller?

LEONARD: Might’ve been making SOUNDS? Sort of proto-language syllables, but without much meaning?
Probably looked a bit dazed? Like he was still taking in details about the outside world, and figuring out how to contextualize them?

DEXTER: Sorry, all the babies I’ve seen come through here were very cocksure.
LEONARD: Dangit where did this kid get OFF to?

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.
