Comic Transcripts

Newscaster: An independent study revealed that the so-called “gorilla skull” wine bottles so heavily advertised during the Super Bowl are actually made NOT out of gorilla skulls, but in fact the blended bones of rats, squirrels, possums, and even skunks.

Crandall: I didn’t mean to mislead anyone! I thought it would be obvious in the commercial that I was using the term “gorilla skull” to refer to a trademarked blend of small mammal bones. Nobody thinks Gorilla Glue is actually made of GORILLAS.

Newscaster: It was also discovered that the wine, labeled prominently as “100% mayonnaise free,” actually consists of nearly THIRTY PERCENT Entemann’s mayonnaise.

Crandall: As soon as I had the labels printed I knew it was just a matter of time before I sabotaged myself.

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!
