INT. SITTING ROOM - DAY
JENKEN (be-piped) and PRONCHIE (her hand on his chair back) are reviewing important documents when the longsuffering LEMMETHA comes in and leans on a doorframe.
LEMMETHA: I got tired of waiting, so I started fixing the chair by myself. Where do you keep the chair putty? Should I go buy some?
JENKEN (alarmed): CHAIR putty? HOLD ON, hold on…
INT. WORKSHOP - MOMENTS LATER
Jenken is now hard at work chiseling a chair, which is being held in a vise.
JENKEN: All we really have to do is adjust the back like this… In the box of IKEA LEFTOVERS there’s probably one of the right brackets…
Pronchie watches the whole thing with veiled amusement.
PRONCHIE: You realize, the whole “fixing it myself” bit was a ruse to get YOU to finally fix it.
PRONCHIE: She’s figured out how to hack your motivation circuit, dude!
JENKEN: Honestly, I’m glad SOMEONE has! I can be the owner OR the operator of this brain, but not both at the same time
Apparently the chair just needed its back chiseled out. Quick work, once you get started.
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!
