Comic Transcripts

[[A man and a woman are conferring at a party]]
Man: Do you recognize anybody?
Woman: Nope.
Man: Are you sure this is the right house?
Woman: Not anymore.

Man: Why do people keep talking about a “sun god”?
Woman: I think this might be a cult.
Man: Great. I’m ready to go.
Woman: Sounds good.

Voice off-panel: Just got a text from the Sun God! Somebody pull out the amp, ’cause he’s bringing his ASTRO BASS!
Man: …five more minutes?
Woman: Let’s say ten.

This comic is by Zachary Sigelko, my collaborator in both the party hit of the summer and various other Wondermark projects. Zach worked in my office here in L.A. until recently moving to Chicago to pursue some kind of dream or other. On his last day in the office (a day I was out of town), on my list of tasks for him was “create a comic.” When I returned, this was on my computer!

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!
