Comic Transcripts

[[A man, who we’ll call EDGAR, sits at a table resting his head on one hand and eyeing a bottle on the table.]]
EDGAR: I’m tired of drinking my life away. Time to sober up and get back to the real world.

[[EDGAR stands and is now talking to his wife ALBERTA.]]
EDGAR: Honey, I’m off the sauce and back for good.
ALBERTA: Oh, good. Then you can help me with the bankruptcy filing.

EDGAR: B-bankruptcy?
ALBERTA: We have to get the papers in by morning or they foreclose on the house.
ALBERTA: Then we’ve got Billy’s juvie hearing, but the car blew a head gasket, so we’ll have to leave at five AM to catch the bus. Also, the basement is flooded, your mother keeps calling, and I’m pregnant.

[[EDGAR returns to the table, eyeing the bottle once more.]]

20 years ago (in photocomic form)

June 9, 2026 by David Malki !
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.

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!
