Comic Transcripts

[[A Gentleman and young Lady are engaged in conversation]]
Gentleman: How’s school? Settled on a major yet?
Young Lady: Not yet. There’s just too many choices!
I’ve narrowed it down to Dirt Science, Theoretical Art History, Veterinary Cosmology, or Origami Therapy with an emphasis in Early Childhood Tactilometrics…

Gentleman: Quite the range!
Young Lady: But there’s also Food Construction, Sociopolitical Ethnobotany, Comparative Medieval Sports Studies, Pancakology, Classical Vintning, Media Surgery…

Young Lady: …Pyrotheology, Singing with a Jai Alai Emphasis, Rending, Feminist Pogo, Nanowhaling, Polio, Water Treatment for the Blind, Postmodern Bread/Toast Criticism, Women’s Physics, Catmaking, or Blood.

Gentleman: What can one do with a degree in BLOOD?
Young Lady: These days, basically NOTHING without an Rh.D.

Applications open for Genius Northwest – an IRL gaming competition

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!
