[[GERALD and ANASTASIA talk on her porch.]]
GERALD: Not gonna buy anything then, huh? That’s all right, I’m used to it – can’t do anything right these days.
GERALD: I’m not that good at this – not cut out for the life. Sorry to bother ya.
ANASTASIA: Oh, grow up.

GERALD: Huh?
ANASTASIA: Seriously, stop whining. You’re doing fine. Don’t you think everyone has the same insecurities?
ANASTASIA: Nobody’s ever satisfied with their own work. Nobody mature, anyway. You’re not some freakish aberration, you’re just normal.

GERALD: Is that supposed to be comforting?

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.
