Officer: …Tampa police caught the partner this afternoon, coming off a plane.
Detective: He sure left in a real hurry.

Detective: Looks clean enough now.

[[A new investigator enters the scene.]]
Ace: TOO clean. This drywall is newly installed.
Ace: Dust on the ground… try the light switch?

Detective: Doesn’t work.
Ace: Conduit’s been cut to make room between those studs.

20 years ago (in photocomic form)

June 9, 2026 by David Malki !
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!
