[[Two women are in a kitchen. Woman 1 is cooking with a frying pan over a stove. Woman 2 is working at a table nearby.]]
Woman 1: Look! I take a runny, slimy egg. Inedible, you say? I shall expose it to fire! Aha! The egg is now firm! The very same egg!
Woman 1: This bacon is likewise soft and horrible. Yet observe how I turn it delicious! Nonstop crackling and popping! The classic smell of breakfast! A veritable fireworks show of grease! All from an inert piece of meat! I'll never tell how it's done!
Woman 1: [[from off-panel, Woman 2 is in panel]] Easy, you say. Child's play, you might think. But what about this! A pile of raw hashed potatoes, completely white, as you'd expect. But watch carefully! I've always loved your brown eyes, my dear... Would you like potatoes to match? Kapow! No mirrors, no tricks! The potatoes have genuinely turned brown!
Woman 2: I do believe I understand how cooking works, yes.
Woman 1: You may call it cooking but I call it wizardry

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!
