– Uh-oh, here comes Martha. Don’t mention her new implants.

– Hey, ah, hi, how’s it going?
– Hi, Norman! Notice anything different? Anything special?

– Um… Haircut?
– Why are you always so mean?! It’s people like you that drive people like me to do pathetic things like this!

– For once you could have been nice.
– Come on, man, they’re obviously fake.

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!
