PRUDENCE: Let me get this straight.
I sent you off with MAGIC BEANS that can access the world of the GIANTS.
And you TRADED them? For a COW?!
PRUDENCE: Do you know how LONG it took me to CULTIVATE those magic beans?
They had to be spliced. And selected. And bred. And enchanted.
We had a PLAN, Stanley. We were going to go to the LAND OF THE GIANTS and PLUNDER their kingdom!
STANLEY: B-but I thought with a COW we could maybe--
PRUDENCE: Could WHAT, Stanley?
WHAT could we have done with a MANGY OLD COW that we couldn't have done a HUNDRED TIMES OVER with a giant's GIANT COW?
PRUDENCE: I swear! You and your THOUGHTS!
...Where IS that old cow, anyway?
STANLEY: That's what I've been trying to SAY!
I TRADED it. For a MAGIC ANTHILL.
PRUDENCE: ...A MAGIC anthill?
STANLEY: The ANTS
NEVER STOP

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!
