TODD: I just had the best idea!
Think about your dog.
Now think about his ALLERGIES.
That’s dog’s probably suffering all day long, but YOU’D never know it!

TODD: Here is my plan. A store where I sell allergy-relief products for dogs.
I am talking ALL kinds of products! ANTIHISTAMINES. MUZZLE masks. BUBBLE suits.
[[LAVERNE is regarding him skeptically.]]
TODD: OUR OWN LINE of bubble suits! QUADRUPEDAL bubble suits!
I could DO this. I could really make this HAPPEN.

TODD: You ever have a moment that it feels like your WHOLE LIFE has been leading up to?
Like all the random stuff I’ve done over the years has just been to EQUIP ME PERFECTLY for THIS.
I have a MEDICAL background. I’m a PLASTICS enthusiast. I even have a friend trying to break his lease on
LAVERNE: YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE OPERATING ON MY BABY!

[[TODD has donned a surgical cap and mask. He stands over a table on which a baby lies. He scowls and a foul miasma of disgust emanates from his head.]]

NEVER get to do what I WANT TO DO.

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!
