Son: Mom, your forgot the buns for the burgers.
Mom: No buns, honey! We’re officially a no-carb household now!

Son: Dad, Mom’s doing it again.
Dad: What’s that?

Son: Picking up on fads like a year too late.
Dad: Are you sure that’s what she’s doing?

Son: What? Yes, I’m sure.
Dad: Is that your final answer?
Mom: HEY MACARENA

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!
