HUGO: I reject the entire concept of law. Genuine morality can only come from choice, right? Being free to choose anything, yet choosing to do right.
HUGO: But whenever some external force, such as the state, commands us under penalty to to do or not do certain things - isn't that negating our personal choice to do or not do that thing? In other words, removing our free will. And isn't free will and moral agency the defining characteristic of humanity? Thus, I must reject any "law" that prescribes my actions as incompatible with my very nature as a reasoning being!
KENNETH: You're trying to start up that pyramid scam again, aren't you?
HUGO: Kenneth, please. The preferred term is "multi-level marketing scam."

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!
