HUBERT: BEHOLD MY INVENTION!
HERMES: You cannot call a PLUNGER that you BOUGHT an "invention."
HUBERT: I have modified it slightly!
HERMES: Oh, you always DO!
HERMES: Let me guess. You bought an angle vise and some torx screws and a twenty-piece Dremel kit.
A jeweler's hammer, a magnifying work lamp and digital calipers in a leather case.
And you set to WORK.
HERMES: Should I APPLAUD your aimless tinkering? What PROBLEM did you solve?
How is the world BETTER OFF now that you've UNLEASHED yourself upon a PERFECTLY GOOD plunger?
[[HUBERT has stuck the plunger on HERMES' face.]]
HERMES: ...modified it slightly, you say?
HUBERT: Filled it with glue!

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!
