Comic Transcripts

RON: Do you think everyone has the same number of hair follicles? On the face of it, you’d think of course not. Some people are WAY hairier than others. But are they? Or is their hair just thicker and coarser? Even bald people HAVE hair follicles, it’s just that fewer of them are active. I mean, why wouldn’t we all have the same number of follicles? We have the same number of fingers. I know, I know – some people don’t have the same number of fingers. But that’s abnormal. But – JEEZ, maybe there’s a high rate of abnormality with hair, too. With so many follicles, the chances of minor mutation during development are very high. Meaning, even if there WERE some theoretical “ideal” number of follicles, chances are slim that anybody would match that number. So if there were an ideal number, would we even know?

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!
