MARCUS: Okay, so I’m here. What’s so important that it couldn’t wait ’til morning?
STANDING MAN: This dish has taken me quite some time to PREPARE, Marcus…

[[The bucket is gone, to reveal a woman’s head on the platter. complete with jaunty bonnet. It is facing MARCUS.]]
STANDING MAN: I hope it tastes SWEET! AH HA HA! Sweet, sweet JUSTICE! Your WIFE’S HEAD on a PLATTER! Now you see the CONSEQUENCES OF BETRYAL!

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.
