2. In the seventh grade, I invented a new eating utensil called the “clingting.” I ate every meal with it for four and a half years. It involved magnets.
3. On a dare, I once broke a window of a police car with my forehead, then blamed it on a homeless guy passed out in a gutter nearby and was awarded a medal.
4. Ever since I saw “The Neverending Story,” I’ve felt that if ever I am truly needed, I will hear a book calling out to me. It’s happened twice and I’ve ignored it both times.
5. I used to be a vegetarian for moral reasons, but ever since a cow kicked my baby brother in the head I’ve switched to an all-beef diet. Those jerks deserve it.
6. I’ve never understood the lyrics to “U Can’t Touch This.” Is he talking about his…

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.
