[[Two gentlemen, GUSTAVE and PATRICK, are conversing.]]
GUSTAVE: Remember the eighties? You'd be in line behind a heavy-metal dude with long hair and think it was a chick?
GUSTAVE: Well it's happening again. Except with hipsters.
GUSTAVE: I see a slim figure, tight jeans, shaggy hair, sort of a pleasant boyishness - so I'm angling for a closer look - and whoops! It's a guy, wearing Chuck Taylors and listening to Arcade Fire.
PATRICK: A "pleasant boyishness"?
GUSTAVE: Aww, do we have to have this conversation again?

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!
