Comic Transcripts

JANE: You’re getting so tall! Last time I saw you, you were only this big!

CHIP: I guess I just keep eating
JANE: Let’s see, when did I see you last? Was it Thanksgiving? I recall walking into the family room and seeing you next to that old armoire. I have a very clear mental picture of that.

JANE: Your shoulder was almost even with the ridge by the top of the mirror. So that would have made you this tall, the last time I saw you. Or did I see you at Jim’s wedding? I ducked out early – court appointment – but I may have seen you. You would have been seated and I would have only seen the back of your head, if anything. So it would have been hard to estimate your height from that.

CHIP: Can we settle on “like all living things, I continue to change”?
JANE: Where you even with that armoire? This is going to bother me all night?!

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.
