EMIL: Are you still driving a cab?
HAROLD: Yeah, but not for much longer. I can't take dealing with the public. I swear, dude, pretty soon I'm just gonna snap. People are just so stupid it's unbelievable.
HAROLD: For example, yesterday a guy asked why there's a surcharge for pickups from the airport. HEL-LOOO! Municipal regulations have stipulated that surcharge ever since it passed the city assembly! It's COMPLETELY DETAILED in the cab company's contract with the airport authority!
[[Later, at HAROLD's cab]]
ANGUS: Just out of curiosity, is there a reason why fares are calculated based on elevenths of a mile?
HAROLD (thinking): GOD, how can people be so IGNORANT?

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!
