Comic Transcripts

GORDON: Oh no! Did Buddy have an accident again?
ARIEL: This was no accident.

ARIEL: He scooched his butt across the carpet in the shape of a crop circle. He has taken disobedience to the level of a provocateur.

ARIEL: Misbehavior has become his palette, our apartment his canvas, in a grand, grotesque installation – featuring us as predictable foils, our fury as much a deliberate part of the work as each precisely-browned fiber of shag. More than a simple befoulment – this is a befoulment of order, a metaphorical poop-smear on the very notion of animal subjugation.

GORDON: Or maybe Mr. Poopykins has buttworms.
ARIEL: Well, as did Duchamp!

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.
