– I say, sir, do you have the time?
– Ants ants ants ants

– Sorry, what was that?
– Ants in the pants ants in the pants

– Ants in the crevices ants in the cracks ants in the crannies and ants on the sac

– I don’t know if that last bit was necessary.
– Then you’re gonna HATE the next verse.

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!
