Comic Transcripts

NANA: Do you want to make some cupcakes?
MIKEY [[a kid]]: Yes! I’ve been craving cupcakes!
NANA: Great! Let me get out the recipe –
MIKEY: Recipes are for the masses. Why do we have to be content with the recipe? Why can’t we do something different?

NANA: We could put chocolate chips in the batter!
MIKEY: That is so childish and uninteresting! Just following a formula! I’m talking about making art. Taking risks. Shocking the senses with something complex and uncomfortable.

MIKEY: Nobody trusts the eater to be able to handle a cupcake with a darker, more unpleasant flavor! Everyone wants chocolate and vanilla and sugar, sugar, sugar. Life is not just sugar! Real life has vinegar and mustard and salt!

NANA: Is – is it okay if I just want some regular cupcakes that taste good?
MIKEY: Is it okay if I think you’re SIMPLE

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.
