[[ A man is speaking to a woman unsuccessfully trying to wrap a present. ]]
Man: Ooh, check this out. Forty-day cruise from Hawaii to Australia, with stops at all the major South Pacific islands. Doesn’t that sound neat?
Woman: Yeah rrrgh

Woman: Rrahhhh GRAAHHH!!!

Woman: The first thing I’m doing when I’m a millionaire is buying a hundred rolls of the best packing tape ever invented.
Woman: I’m talking NASA-grade stuff that spools off the roll like butter, sticks to absolutely anything, and is stronger than God’s own glue.

[[ The first woman is now speaking to a second woman ]]

First Woman: That was the day I came to realize that all my fondest daydreams now revolve around office supplies.

20 years ago (in photocomic form)

June 9, 2026 by David Malki !
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!
