Survey Advocate: …And then, we should follow up with the customer about a week later with a survey.
Survey Advocate: See what they thought about the service, the rep they talked to, etc.
Critic: What if they don’t respond to the survey right away?

[[The advocate appears somewhat irritated.]]
Survey Advocate: Send them ANOTHER survey to see what they didn’t like about the FIRST survey! If it wasn’t a well-designed survey, we should know!
Critic: And if they don’t respond to THAT?
Survey Advocate: If they don’t respond to THAT – or to the survey that FOLLOWS that – or to the one after THAT – WELL –

[[The advocate is now visibly angry.]]
Survey Advocate: I want surveys to pop up in their browser. I want to be TEXTING them surveys. I want to MAIL them surveys that look like handwritten birthday cards, with no return address. I want surveys to FOLLOW them like student loans, non-dischargeable in bankruptcy.
Survey Advocate: INESCAPABLE.

Survey Advocate: I want to flyer their CAR with surveys. want to get their DOCTOR to PRESCRIBE them our surveys. I want our surveys to be CARVED INTO THEIR TOMBSTONE. Below their name, but above the dates.
Survey Advocate: Because, remember! Our number one priority HAS to be CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

20 years ago (in photocomic form)

A young David Malki !, Steve Carey, and Ryan North, June 2006.

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!
