– Hey mister! You wanna see some nasty pictures from my dad’s anatomy book?

– What happened to your arm?
– I’ll tell you:

– As punishment for showing grown-ups ugly pictures of naked diseased people, I hereby shove this rusty nail into your arm.

– So what are you saying?

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!
