MA AKCERMAN: There’s the little scamps! What have you kids been up to today?
BRITNEY: Nothing! Nothing at all! Everything’s totally fine! We haven’t even been IN the garage! We’ve just been, uh, upstairs!
SANJAY: I uh don’t think I’ve EVER been in the garage

MA AKCERMAN: Oh, dear. Do I need to look in the garage?
BRITNEY: NO! Not at all! I mean, not unless you want to see cars! The cars are still in there! We didn’t move them! Why would we have moved them? We WOULDN’T’VE!
SANJAY: Yeah I mean we’re just kids

MA AKCERMAN: I know what you’re doing.
MA AKCERMAN: You’re pretending to have done something wrong, so I’ll go look and nothing will be the matter…
MA AKCERMAN: That way, I’ll eventually grow tired of looking every time you kids act nervous, thus freeing you to cause all sorts of mischief!
BRITNEY: Wow. We did it. She’s nuts.
SANJAY: As long as she doesn’t look in the garage

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!
