– Well, this is quite a pickle. Good thing I have my old magic lamp with me!

– Someone rub my lamp?
– Winston Churchill? Can you get me home?

– He said get him home, not gramophone. Get outta here.

– Is there anyone else I can talk to?

– You seem to be yanking on zat rope kind of hard.
– As soon as I get home I’m getting a refund for this lamp.

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!
