Comic Transcripts

MISS TRUNDLE: AAAH! That Walt-Whitman-headed bat is back!
ALVIN: I told you to be more uptight with your gardening! You’re inviting in all sorts of crazies. What with your assorted wildflowers.

WALT-WHITMAN-HEADED BAT: O listen, unimpressed mortals –
WALT-WHITMAN-HEADED BAT: Shall I grant you each some wish?
WALT-WHITMAN-HEADED BAT: Some small boon, some favor, some easy accessory against each day’s uneasy burden? So that your young, handsome faces may shine with newfound delight?

MISS TRUNDLE: A wish, eh? Well, let’s see here…
MISS TRUNDLE: With only one shot, I better make it good…wishing for more wishes is always out…how about wishing for the best possible wish? Would that even work?

WALT-WHITMAN-HEADED BAT: Okay, I get it. You wish you were more decisive. How about you?
ALVIN: I want to be able to jump into my pants with both legs at once.
WALT-WHITMAN-HEADED BAT: Oh man yes! AWESOME! In fact, BAM! Now EVERYONE can do that!

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.

It was an important trip for me, a milestone in what would go on to become my career.

I wrote a little reminiscence on Patreon (free/unlocked) — including a first-since-then reprint of the photocomics I made at the time, documenting the trip!
