– He looks so natural.
– Still got good pallor.

– Man, I’m beat. Hey, you got the time?
– Ahh! The vile undead!
– Stakes and garlic! Fetch me kerosene!

– I just lay down for a nap. My head feels like a snail.
– I’ll call Father Mulcahey. You fetch the ax!
– Lord have mercy!

– I knew I shoulda slid into the drawer.
– We must sift the ashes through water and drink!
– I’ll get the curly straws!

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!
