Peakie gets outdoorsy

Yasmin Hassan and C Icart May 20, 2024

Dear Peakie,  I want to preface this by saying I was a runner before running became cool. I’ve been in the pain cave, I’ve had nasty blisters, I’ve pooped in unfortunate places. I am also a vegan, which makes me doubly better than anyone else. So here’s my issue, I accidentally swallowed a fly while chasing a PB. It all happened so fast! How can I atone for my sins?

Dear Peakie: Where Are They Now?

Sonya Janeshewski January 23, 2024

Dear Peakie,  Last time we spoke, you gave me advice on how to perfect my dad-sona. After much introspection, I found that I’m less of a punny dad and more of a socks with sandals kind of dad. My newfound…

Peakie is here to help you navigate injustice

Cam Darting and C Icart November 14, 2023

Dear Peakie,  How do I get Vancouverites to up their fashion game? It is so exhausting to have everyone stare at me when I’m walking down Commercial Drive wearing a basic dress. Have none of them seen a jewel-encrusted bodice…

Pomeranians, performances, and properties, oh my!

Kaja Antic and C Icart October 17, 2023

Dear Peakie,  I was at the SFU Gallery in the AQ admiring a painting of a very cute pomeranian when I saw its eyes move ever-so-slightly like they were following me. It was kind of like the Mona Lisa, but…

Saije Rusimovici and C Icart October 6, 2023

Dear Peakie,  The other day, my friend asked me to close the blinds, revealing a very embarrassing truth about myself: I don’t know how blinds work. And can you blame me? Multiple cords are involved, and that stick thing that…

Will U-Pass Your Summer Course?

Hana Hoffman and C Icart July 19, 2023

Dear Peakie,  I was at the movies watching The Little Mermaid because, duh, and the fire alarm went off, and we had to evacuate! So obviously, I complain to the manager about making us wait outside for no reason. There’s…
