[[Two individuals discuss some magazines.]]
Non-hoarder: Hey, can we throw away some of these old magazines?
Hoarder: I haven't gotten a chance to look through them yet!
Non-hoarder: They're really piling up. Anything you want to read is online, anyway.
Hoarder: OH YEAH? What if the power goes out? What if the internet goes down?
Hoarder: What if the internet GOES AWAY FOREVER? You'll be left with NOTHING while I will have this information preserved and ready.
Non-hoarder: So these magazines are LITERALLY being saved JUST IN CASE they're USEFUL after a GLOBAL CATASTROPHE.
Non-hoarder: Riots in the streets... Stock market collapsed... living on canned beans... daily knife fights with warlords over the few Keurig K-cups left...
Non-hoarder: And WE'RE fully prepared, sitting tall and proud on a stack of 2011 New Yorkers.
Hoarder: I mean that's the only point at which I'll actually have enough free time to sit and read magazines

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!
