[[A new mother is cradling a baby.]]
Mother: Dad, what do you want the baby to call you?
Mother: Grandpa? Granddad? Papa? Pop-pop?

[[The baby’s wizened grandfather responds.]]
Grandfather: How about “Pete”?

Mother: Your name is Bruce…
Grandfather: Yeah, but I always kinda liked the NAME Pete

20 years ago (in photocomic form)

A young David Malki !, Steve Carey, and Ryan North, June 2006.

The computers tell me it was 20 years ago, June 9, 2006, that I arrived in New York for my first-ever comic convention as an exhibitor, MoCCA.
