GLEN: I'm back! And I've become fabulously wealthy!
CLARA: Congratulations!
GLEN: As a way of thanking me for helping me out, I'd like to buy out your book stand and allow you to retire.
CLARA: That's sweet of you, but I think I'd rather just keep doing my own thing.
GLEN: Then I shall erect a RIVAL book stand just across the way, and drive you out of business!
CLARA: Actually, that'd be great! You spend all the advertising money, bringing people to this corner to buy books...and then when my kind of people get disgusted by your soulless shell of a store, they'll come and patronize me!
GLEN: It was a test. Everything was a test. To see if you'd really stick to your principles. Congrats! You passed.
CLARA: Oh! Is there a cash reward?
GLEN: AHA!
CLARA: Kidding.
GLEN: Marry me.
CLARA: No.

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!
