HORTENSE: Excuse me! Are you Jill?
JILL: I am! It’s good to meet you! How are you?

[[Interior of said coffeshop]]
MEREDITH: Great! Thanks for meeting us on such short notice.
HORTENSE: Did you get a chance to look at the prospectus we emailed you?
JILL: I did, and let me be honest: I think it’s a mess. You’re gonna have the S.E.C. all over you like yellow on big bird.

MEREDITH: Really? You think so?
JILL: Oh yeah. And I hope you’ve got a budget for litigation defense – your ad materials are full of terms that some would consider highly offensive racial slurs.

JILL: Also, maybe you missed the press release, but all new businesses now have to send the mayor a live musk-ox, and I didn’t see that mentioned in the document.
MEREDITH: You’re not Jill, are you.
NOT ACTUALLY JILL: No.

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.

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!
