JACK: And on one billboard we’ll show all the princesses with the tagline ‘Girls Gone Medieval’!
MR. THROCKMORTON: HA HA HA

VINCE: I don’t know, it seems to me that any pun or permutation of the ‘Girls Gone Wild’ concept would just be inherently in poor taste, especially at marketing directed at children. Also, it sends the tacit message that ‘Girls Gone Wild’ is a normal and acceptable part of our culture – when in fact it’s seedy trash that thrives on the most crass and debased elements of human nature.
VINCE: Besides, c’mon guys – we can come up with something funnier.

MR. THROCKMORTON: Interesting perspective. Jack?
JACK: It’s ‘edgy’.
MR. THROCKMORTON: SOLD

20 years ago (in photocomic form)

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!
