[[Two men, LENID and RINNY, are browsing a Christmas tree lot. Lenid looks admiringly at a big bushy tree.]]
LENID: What do you think of this one?
RINNY: Yeah! Looks great. I'll get in line to pay.
LENID: Don't you want to look at any others?
RINNY: WHY? This one's fine! Good choice! Let's get it and be done!
LENID: We JUST GOT here!
RINNY: And now we can MINIMIZE our time here to go enjoy the REST of our life!
LENID: Just take one walk around. See if there are any other contenders.
RINNY (rolling his eyes): Fine
[[Rinny walks among the other trees, dismissing each handily.]]
RINNY: No. No. No. Inferior. Inferior. Inferior... Actually, THIS one's pretty. Let me see the one you chose again?
LENID: SEE? Aren't you GLAD I made you look?
RINNY: I'm SORRY, trees! You all seem perfectly nice! But we INSIST on making all but ONE of you into LOSERS we have to ACTIVELY REJECT! We could have ben TEN BLOCKS AWAY by now but INSTEAD we're gonna make you ALL feel bad!

the dead trees in the vacant lot are having a hard enough time without you imagining they have an opinion about what's happening.
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!
