– Check out all these cool books I found!
– I’m afraid I shan’t, dear boy. I don’t care much for books.

– Why? Did a book eat your mom or something?
– I just don’t care to have an inanimate object tell me what to think.

– Oh. ‘Cause THIS book ate my mom.
– That a fact?

– AIEEE!!!

– Blech! Find me a girl scout to cleanse my palate!
– But now I’M hungry!
– BURP

20 years ago (in photocomic form)

June 9, 2026 by David Malki !

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!
