– Consider yourself lucky to have gotten off so easy.
– Oh, yes, absolutely!

– Dear Mrs. Crabtree, I’m sorry for spilling ink on your new desk. I sold a kidney to pay for the refinishing, because hey, I’ve got two, right?

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!
