HERVE (a deep-sea diver): Which way to the pool-
GUIDO (a bear in an ill-fitting hat): -waytothepool JINX!
HERVE: What? I'm looking for the YMCA.
GUIDO: You can't talk! I jinxed you! Pinch poke you owe me a Coke!
HERVE: Whatever. Look, I'm supposed to be giving a safety lecture to the kids, and I'm already late-
GUIDO: You do not TALK. I have JINXED you. If you continue to talk before you are un-jinxed then I will eat you. I swear on my mother's grave that I will eat you.
HERVE: Fine. Eat me. But just know that right now, sitting in that YMCA, there's a kid who's going to cure cancer someday. Except he's NOT, because he's going to drown tomorrow. Because I wasn't there to give the safety lecture.
GUIDO: I have already eaten all the children at the YMCA.
HERVE: You are a horrible creature.
GUIDO: YOU DO NOT SEEM TO BE GRASPING THE POINT OF JINX

Enjoy this Classic Wondermark, newly colored by Philip Obermarck! This comic originally ran (in black & white) on February 8, 2008.
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!
