PANEL 1: A man and woman in pajamas creep through a darkened house. He: "Shhh...Shhhhh!" Some kind of laughing garbled speech is emanating from off-panel...
PANEL 2: "I knew it!" the man cries. "Dishes goblins!" Sure enough, a pair of gibbering goblin-like creaturs with snouts, talons, twisting tails and carapaces are fussing about the kitchen sink, filling it with dishes.
PANEL 3: "I knew SOMETHING was leaving all those dirty dishes in the sink," says the man. The woman is suddenly concerned: "But THAT means... the LAUNDRY..."
PANEL 4: The woman enters the laundry room to find one of the goblins sitting in the dirty laundry hamper, wearing one of her bras.
PANEL 5: The man turns his head away. "Why do I feel embarrassed, like WE'RE the ones interrupting"
She, however, is not so sanguine: "THAT'S why the elastic is always giving out! It's scraping on their scales!" The goblin chitters!
The irony is that it's, like, 4pm. It's just winter.
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!
