Comic Transcripts

BOB: Norm! You seen this new, hundred-foot-tall “WELCOME DUCKS” banner in front of my house? You know anything about that?
NORM: I know just who to ask! Meet the new chairman of our homeowners’ association!
DESMOND [[a duck]]: I’ve got a lot of improvements planned.

DESMOND: My first project will be refurb’ing the pond to feature waterproof, motion-activated bread-crumb dispensers. These will work in concert with a mandatory neighborhood old-muffin recycling program.

DESMOND: I’d also like everyone to start wearing feathers – to make new residents feel welcome as the area inevitably gentrifies. It’s time to add some biodiversity to our little subdivision!

DESMOND: I trust that I have your full support?
NORM [[to BOB]]: Look, we’re going to have to pick our battles if we’re ever going to get on the free egg list.

The banner was erected in the night.

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!
