GLEN: I want a book on how to get rich.
CLARA: I don't sell books like that. But would you like me to tell you how to get rich, instead?
GLEN: ...sure, go for it.
CLARA: It's very simple. First, create a product that makes absurd promises. Topical cream that makes you lose weight; work-from-home "businesses" that generate their own income......books that deliver "secrets" to wealth.
CLARA: Then, abandon all dignity by hawking your product shamelessly to gullible people. Presto! PROFIT.
GLEN: I don't know if I should take business advice from a bookseller who doesn't carry ANY of the best-sellers on wealth-building.
CLARA: I have limited space, so I choose only to stock beautiful things. Those books are not among them.
GLEN: Criminy, aren't you just PRINCIPLED.
CLARA: It is why I am not rich.

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!
