[[ Two individuals, Carl and someone we'll call Floyd, in old-fashioned diving suits. ]]
Carl: Check out my new diving suit! Top of the line, two thousand bucks! No expense spared!
Floyd: HA! I made MINE from common items at Home Depot. Just as nice, at a fraction of the price!
[[ Same scene. Floyd has added several odd attachments to his diving suit. ]]
Caption: LATER
Carl: Listen, man, you almost died last time. You sure you got the bugs worked out of that suit?
Floyd: The problem wasn't BUGS the problem was WATER getting into the SUIT. I just needed new fittings, is all. And sealant. And better hoses. I'm all set now!
[[ Same scene. Floyd has replaced the odd attachments from before with other odd attachments. ]]
Caption: LATER
Carl: There is NO WAY I'm letting you into the water in that thing. Not after the LAST two times.
Floyd: You don't OWN the water, Carl! I FIXED the problem! The canvas just needed to be GALVANIZED! Now MOVE ASIDE and LET ME DIVE!
[[ Same scene. Floyd has once more replaced the odd attachments with ever odder attachments. ]]
Caption: LATER
Floyd: I've spent six thousand dollars on this freaking thing and it STILL leaks.
Carl: Ah, but you did it YOURSELF!

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!
