Comic Transcripts

UMBERTO: Do you know that I have a magical eye! It can see pain! It can see guilt! It can see everything you would rather hide from your grandpa!

UMBERTO: I wish to peer into your inmost being with this aforementioned magical eye. Don’t be self-conscious! Just act normal!

UMBERTO: Mmm yes hmmm. Interesting. Yes. HMM!

KEITH: My skin suddenly feels like a hundred ants are trying to stretch it around a telephone pole.
UMBERTO: I suppose it should more properly be called a cursed eye

{{alt-text: I also have a bewitched nose and a hexed earlobe. At my age you just sort of acquire these things.}}

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.
