[[ABATHA opens the front door to great GLENGIS, who is dressed in a Roman centurion helmet and what appears to be a bird beak mask. He also has huge sideburns/dundrearies but I think those are just his vibe.]]
ABATHA: Hey, it’s Glengis! Glad you could make it to Thanksgiving!
GLENGIS: Trick or treat!
ABATHA: Go on.
GLENGIS: I’m treating our culture’s MADE-UP RITUALS as interchangeable. We’ve inherited an astonishing agreed-upon symbology and it only ever gets put to the SAME OLD USES! It’s like learning the alphabet and then ONLY using it to sing variations on the alphabet song!
GLENGIS: So I’m trying to spell NEW WORDS with it all. From now on, I eat turkey on Flag Day, shoot fireworks on Valentine’s Day, and drink green beer for eight WILD AN’ CRAZY nights!
ABATHA: Cool. And what about the people you interact with in social settings, who are just going to assume you’re deranged?
GLENGIS: Well THEY might end up finding rotten eggs in their stockings come Fourth of July!

Kids, your costumes are great, but instead of giving you any candy, let's all take a moment of silence to honor our veterans
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!
