Comic Transcripts

[[A cat stairs at a stove with a chair next to it. He thinks.]]
Cat: I don’t believe it.
Cat: The stove. I’m NEVER allowed on the stove.
Cat: But today someone left a chair next to it.
Cat: A CHAIR.

[[The cat approaches the chair.]]
Cat: Am I supposed to climb up there? Is this some passive-aggressive way of asking me to?
Cat: I never saw what the big deal was, anyway… it’s just pots and stuff, right?
Cat: Well, screw it. I’m DOIN’ it.
Cat: Here on out, I’m a STOVE cat.

[[A family is shown fleeing from their house, which is on fire.]]

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.
