Teacher: So, have you found a church home yet?
Student: Yeah! I found one built on the basic principle that Mexicans are lazy.
Teacher: W-what? That's patently offensive.
Student: We sing songs about how Mexicans are lazy, kids go to Mexicans-are-lazy camp, there's all this ritual chanting... But now is a tough time. Recently the church splity into factions - my group thinks Zacatecanos are the laziest, but some crazy nutjobs think it's Oaxacans. What a bunch of idiots!
Student: Those turncoat heretics are all gonna burn in Baja someday. Says so in scripture.
Teacher: Scripture? What holy text did you find that lunacy in?
Student: Webster's dictionary. But you have to read it in a very precise order. Teacher: Well, one more book to ban from schools.

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!
