GLADYS: ...I like Pete just fine, but he takes himself way too seriously.
MADGE: I know what you mean. He really needs to lighten up.
PETE (coincidentally passing by on his velocipede): WHAT?!
PETE: I don't take myself too seriously! Why would they say that?? What in the world would give them that impression? I'm a fun-loving guy! I mean, I take my work seriously, sure. But that's good, right? You want someone competent! But I think they were referring to my personality!
PETE: They must have gotten the wrong impression somehow. I wonder what it was I did! I'll have to pay closer attention to my behavior from now on. Maybe I should laugh more. No, it can't seem forced! But why would it be? I'm as happy-go-lucky as they come!
PETE: WHY WOULD THEY SAY I TAKE MYSELF TOO SERIOUSLY?

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!
