[[Newscaster WALT HOPPENDORF is reading from a paper.]]
WALT: We're still reporting on the tragic case of forty miners trapped in a cave-in. With us live is mine foreman Eustace Prowlybucket.
WALT: Eustace, what's the situation? Any progress since we talked to you last?
EUSTACE [[from inside the mine]]: In the last four minutes? No, Walt, I can't really say so.
WALT: So what's your next move?
EUSTACE: Well, right now I'm trying to find someone to take over these interviews, so I can get back to work on the actual mine.
EUSTACE: Now, I'm no mining expert, of course, but here in the studio we had a thought...
EUSTACE: Is it possible the miners are just lost? Have you tried shouting?

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!
