MELINDA: Woop, time to go change the laundry.
Oh, I forgot to take out the trash!
[[Outside.]]
MELINDA: I should really check my OIL. I never remember to do it when the engine's cold.
Ah SHOOT! That book I had the library hold is going back if I don't pick it up today!
[[MELINDA is driving down the street.]]
MELINDA: OH! I think we're out of milk. I better stop at the STORE or else I can't have CEREAL tomorrow.
I should call Jeremy, see if he needs anything...
My PHONE! I left it at the GYM!
[[Back inside.]]
CAPTION: Four hours later...
JEREMY: ...I come home to find the LIGHTS on, washing machine OPEN with WET CLOTHES in it, HALF A BANANA on the sink and the BATHTUB overflowing!
[[MELINDA has a squid on her head.]]
MELINDA: LOOK WE ALL GOT PROBLEMS

This Classic Wondermark originally ran (in black & white) on November 25, 2008! It was colored by Anthony Clark for its inclusion in my newest book collection, Emperor of the Food Chain. In the book, it is accompanied by a lengthly LiveJournal post from the point of view of the octopus.
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!
