[[A frustrated-looking man stares at his arm hair.]]
Edwin: I've been trying to grow out my arm hair for YEARS now!
Edwin: I want to braid it! I've wanted to for AGES!
Edwin: But it only gets SO long... and then... just... STOPS!
[[A bald man joins the conversation.]]
Edwin: What TELLS it to stop growing? I shout at it every day to KEEP growing and it doesn't LISTEN!
Hair Scientist: It IS growing. It's just that your arm hair SHEDS faster than some other types of hair.
Hair Scientist: The length of hair is only determined by how much time it's given to grow before it falls off. Arm hairs fall off more readily than do head hairs, or beard hairs.
Hair Scientist: But they ARE growing. Every day, little by little. Creeping, SLIDING out of your pores, all over your ARMS, all over your BODY.
Hair Scientist: Every SINGLE second, MILLIONS OF TINY HAIRS are INDEED SQUEEZING THEMSELVES out of your skin.
[[Edwin lies in bed, apparently unable to sleep, eyes wide in terror.]]

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!
