GLEN: I need a way to become rich that doesn't involve hustling suckers and idiots.
BARNES: What are your hobbies? What do you enjoy doing?
GLEN: Flying kites through outdoor malls. Sitting on rooftops watching traffic ebb and flow. Collecting loose nuts and bolts from junkyards, then spending lonely evenings trying to match them all up.
BARNES: Okay, well, here's the thing. The best way to get rich is through REAL ESTATE INVESTING. But it's got to be a PASSION.
BARNES: You can't have a hobby and try to learn about real estate TOO; that's not the way to build a successful career. You've got to LOVE real estate.
BARNES: So I've got to say, odds don't look too good for you right now.
GLEN: I was hoping to perhaps parlay my expertise in ennui into some sort of lucrative public speaking profession.
BARNES: A noble goal, but who would you address?
GLEN: I don't know. Kids?

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!
