Comic Transcripts

[[A small ape accosts a couple.]]
JOHN: What in the holy–
APE: Do not be alarmed! I am from your future!
I was sent on a research mission into the past, but my CHRONOSHIP has broken down!

APE: As a scholar of your language, customs and technology, I have learned enough in three days to fill dozens of textbooks back home.
Now I seek only a few small papers of your current money to buy replacement parts for my craft.
Anticipating that this might happen, we were careful to build the chronoship out of parts from a 1981 Datsun 280ZX.
Please, friends…may I trouble you for a single dollar toward my goal?

MARY: Don’t do it, John, he’s just going to spend it on crack.
APE: MADAM DO NOT BE ABSURD
YOUR CRACK IS BUT BUTTERSCOTCH COMPARED TO MY CRACK AT HOME

20 years ago (in photocomic form)

A young David Malki !, Steve Carey, and Ryan North, June 2006.

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!
