[[Two men are talking over beers.]]
Man: I have designed a shirt for ironists! Ironists wear shirts that they would normally hate, because they are being ironic. It is what passes for cleverness with young people!
Man: My shirt is in Russian, which is ironic because the ideal consumer of this shirt does not speak Russian. He or she is also probably too young to remember the Soviet Union, thus neo-Soviet design is "retro." In addition, the shirt is ironic because it asks "Where is my elephant?" although the elephant is clearly right there in the center.
Man 2: Do you really think people would buy your stupid shirt?
Man: Ironists love to spend money on things with no value! That is their defining characteristic.

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!
