[[TEDDICUS and BILLOCLES hang out.]]
TEDDICUS: Losing weight is burning calories, right? You work out to generate HEAT? I decided I'd skip the middleman! Now I only eat food that's ALREADY HOT! So it's got LESS FAR to GO!
BILLOCLES: I'm not sure that's actually how calories work?
TEDDICUS: OH! You're NOT SURE? WELL then! I AM sure, so guess who wins?
TEDDICUS: See, YOUR problem is you're always worried you MIGHT BE WRONG. If you're always trying to DISPROVE things and poke holes in logic and dismiss incomplete evidence, you'll SUCCEED--but you'll never be satisfied!
TEDDICUS: You'll just pick an arbitrary point where you're satisfied for the time being--until some NEW information comes along to capsize the whole boat! What a miserable life! Scrabbling for scraps of validation!
TEDDICUS: My way of thinking is much simpler. I'm just right all the time. No mess, no fuss! Never have to wonder, never have to worry! It's very liberating.
BILLOCLES: But what if you're...wrong?
TEDDICUS: Seriously, dude, you need to seek therapy because there is that OBSESSION again.

once I THOUGHT I was wrong but then I remembered the definition of Always Right and, whew!
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!
