ALF: Yes. I think I have identified the problem. It seems that you are awful.
RODNEY: Man, I hate these unreal expectations in music! Everyone's always harping on you to hit every single note. Nobody's perfect, yo! Batting .400 in baseball gets you into the Hall of Fame. But for some reason I just get yelled at!
ALF: A facile comparison! Baseball is a competition, and we expect the pitcher to also be partially successful. You have no such excuse. Your horn is a thing of brass. It is not fighting you. Despite what you insist, it is not some animate demon spirit hell-bent on sabotaging your every effort.
RODNEY: Dude you gotta start backing me up here.

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.

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!
