KATIE: The big rallying cry for every election is 'change.' End corruption! Free democracy from the crushing grip of special interests!
KATIE: What happened to the last crew we elected to bring about change? We're no closer now to the utopia they promised us last election. Why do we think this bunch will do any better?
FATHER: I think the realities of the political process probably mainstream the radicalism out of anybody, just in the name of being able to get anything accomplished at all.
KATIE: So if we feed the system visionaries, and it spits them out as mediocrities...then what we need is some sort of EXTREME DOUBLE MEGA-VISIONARY who'll get worn down to the level of 'visionary.'
FATHER: In other words, we should elect the most crazy nutball wackjob out there.
WALT HOPPENDORF: Mr. Gax, can you offer details about your plan to solve Social Security while also developing a new biofuel?
[[Mr. Gax is a dinosaur wearing a suit]]
MR. GAX: IF ELECTED, I PLEDGE TO FEED ALL HUMANS OVER SIXTY INTO THE INSATIABLE FURNACE OF MY GALACTIC DEATH-CRUISER

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!
