Comic Transcripts

RADISLOV: I hear you’ve been ragging on people who have the audacity to sell self-improvement products!
CLARA: My beef is with books and “systems” that claim to teach you how to become rich like the author, when the author’s wealth is actually derived from the sales of the books themselves.

CLARA: And the DVDs, and workshops, and seminars…as you know, it’s much easier to manipulate the public than the stock market.
RADISLOV: What if I told you I’d written an investment book NOT geared towards gullible suckers? One specifically for cynical, pragmatic types?

CLARA: What’s the hook?
RADISLOV: I promise straight talk about how hard it is to work the market and make money.
CLARA: …I can’t imagine that’s selling well.
RADISLOV: With a cover price of $850,000, I only need to sell ONE.

20 years ago (in photocomic form)

June 9, 2026 by David Malki !
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.

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!
