– Hey! I’m back!
– Hmm? Oh, right. How was the trip?

– I see you didn’t do any laundry while I was gone.
– Can you blame me?

– You’re gone for God-knows how long… All I have is the sweet scent in your clothes! It’s ALL I HAVE!

– And you couldn’t wash yourself any clean boxers in three weeks?
– Well, that smell’s pretty important to me too.

20 years ago (in photocomic form)

June 9, 2026 by David Malki !

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!
