VINNY: Haw, look at that NERD! Bet he's never seen a naked woman before!
CLAUDIO: Go back to your mom's basement, dorkasaurus!
SHELDON: Now hold on just a minute!
SHELDON: Are we still doing this? Seriously? This stereotype is still clinging to life? First, the "nerds are all frustrated virgins" thing. Some of the nerdiest people I know are highly sexual women. And millions of nerds have spouses twice as nerdy as they are. And the mom's basement thing? The nerds I know live in geodesic domes or multi-story treehouses or, at the very least, condos with garages big enough to hold their trebuchets.
SHELDON: As as for being socially maladjusted - well, guilty. But doesn't everyone have some sort of neurosis? Better a little shy than, say, obsessed with celebrity, or addicted to drugs, or running around MURDERING PEOPLE WITH AXES. Really, you talk about socially awkward virgins living in their moms' basements - you're talking about SERIAL KILLERS.
EVAN [[an axe murderer]]: NOW HOLD ON JUST A MINUTE!

In their defense, he really IS a superdorkasaurus.
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!
