Comic Transcripts

[[A constable stops a bundled-up woman in a rainy alley.]]

Policeman: All right, hold it right there.
What’s under the coat?
Contraband? Stolen goods? Illegal ferrets? Drugs? Placebos? Placentas?
Platonic friends? Pluralistic ignorance? Planar geometrics? Planck’s Constant? Plastic bags that could suffocate children?
ALL HIGHLY ILLEGAL

Woman: Actually, I’m just trying to cover a huge rip in my bodice –
I can show you if you don’t believe me
Policeman: Ma’am, are you trying to seduce me?
Woman: No, I would never –
Policeman: Be-cause it’s wo-o-orking!

20 years ago (in photocomic form)

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!
