[[The chair of the College Board, wearing a top hat, begins a meeting. A member wearing a bonnet gives a suggestion.]]
Chair: This meeting of the College Board will come to order. First business: suggestions about how to improve the S.A.T.
Member: Thank you. I believe there should be an interpretive dance section on the test.
Member: Kids these days have a LOT to offer in DANCE.
Chair: How could such a section be GRADED?
Member: Film it.
Chair: Grading must be anonymous.
Member: You could shoot the kids in silhouette. Backlit against a white curtain.
Member: And in case you think silhouettes could still be identifiable, it would be possible to supply each student with an inexpensive, standard bonnet to disguise the contour of their face.
[[The member sweats.]]
Chair: DANGIT, Martha, if this is another PLOY to get a contract for your BONNET COMPANY…!
Member: PLEASE! It’s been a very tough year for Smörgasbönnet!

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!
