HAP: I was chopping up some beets and got the best idea for a tattoo!
HAP: It looks like the flesh of my chest is ripped back and inside my body there is a tiny dinosaur working a series of levers to control me Down one arm there's an army of manatees mounting to stage a coup and take control of the me-throne Down the other arm is the rival army of dinosaurs but they are actually being driven by butterflies in hive-mind mode Climbing up my back there's like a silhouette of myself but it's as if I'm climbing the mountain of me to get my soul back from the dinosaur in my ribcage And I'm being chased by this fast-growing fungus that is turning my body to mushrooms as it creeps up from my crack
WINSTEAD: Think about it, man. What's that gonna look like when you're eighty?
HAP: I dunno, but for the fifty years between now and then it's gonna look BOSS

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!
