ROBERT: See, here’s the problem. The Haircut Value Index isn’t an index at all! In fact you can realize this just by looking at the units. The more you spend, the higher the H.V.I. – and the more time you spend looking good, the lower the H.V.I. So really I think what you described is more of a Haircut COST Index.
KEN: I just wanted to help people
KEN: Now it’s all
KEN: It’s all falling apart at the seams

KEN: I take pride in my haircuts! I want to get good value from them! I’m not a mathematician, Robert! I barely an aesthetician. But now I’m ruining people’s lives! I inverted a fraction and people are dying. They’re DYING in the STREETS! I don’t know how to stop it! I DON’T KNOW HOW TO MAKE IT RIGHT!

ROBERT: Come on, Ken. Nobody’s DYING from a haircut
KEN: They’re not dying from a haircut they’re dying from a SEVERE STAB WOULD THAT I INFLICTED

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!
