Comic Transcripts

[[A doctor, WEMBURTON, addresses a patient in a robe, CLANDIFER, who stands awkwardly near an IV stand. The IV stand is not relevant, it’s just set dressing.]]

WEMBURTON: …There’s no need to be embarrassed. I’m a professional. I’ve seen it ALL.

WEMBURTON: I SPECIALIZE in this sort of condition. My waiting room is full of other people just like you. Now, PLEASE… let me help. May I see the problem?
CLANDIFER: All right…

[[Clandifer removes his robe to reveal he has a fig leaf stuck to his crotch. Is he simply stock art of a classical statue? I’ll never tell.]]

WEMBURTON: And you say you… “fell on it”?
CLANDIFER: I was…GARDENING! In the NUDE!! PEOPLE DO THAT!!

[[Another man, PLIMOTHY, pokes his head in. He is also in a robe, with the handles of an enormous pair of scissors protruding in a way that suggests they are near a sensitive area. What in the world could have happened to Plimothy???]]

PLIMOTHY: If you slowpokes don’t MIND, there are some URGENT patients out here!

20 years ago (in photocomic form)

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!
