JEREDITH: Thank SHOE

GARY: Trindy as “Sexy Chess”
TRINDY: CheckMATE

GARY: Blindora as “Sexy Dynamite”
BLINDORA: Bang! Bang!

GARY: And of course Grichelle as “Sexy Tuba” and Blazinda as “Sexy Toothpaste”
BLAZINDA: Twice a day, honeybunch
GRICHELLE: Same with tubas

GARY: Plabecca really shines as “Sexy Complete Works of Dickens”
PLABECCA: She’s a BLEAK…HOUSE

GARY: Spachel keeps the theme going with “Sexy Giant Cursed Skulls”
SPACHEL: “Sexy” is redundant in that sentence

GARY: And…who IS that as “Sexy Globe”?
GLOBE: It’s FRABLINDA!

[[A voice calls from offscreen. A look of panic appears on the judge’s face.]]

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!
