– So, thanks for dinner…
– Yeah, sorry about, you know, what happened.

– It’s not your fault – you didn’t know a cat was going to run through the restaurant –
– Seriously, though, just send me the dry-cleaning bill.

– Yeah, okay.
– Um…

– Do… Do you want to come in?
– Was it the crotch-sniffing that tipped you off?

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!
