Comic Transcripts

VICTOR [holding a pool cue]: Have you ever been in a situation that was just a little bit unsettling, just barely enough to get the pit of your stomach seizing up like a fist clenching but only weakly like an arthritic fist

VICTOR: But then the fist takes some supplements or something and it starts squeezing harder and harder and you realize that the situation is getting worse not better and at this rate it looks like it really might keep getting worse without ever recovering, I mean it passes that point

VICTOR: And you very seriously start to consider that THIS IS IT. This is how I am going to DIE. It was going to happen eventually, and it’s NOW. My time is just up. Because?I feel that way now.

MAURICE [holding a large eel]: Have you ever felt that way BUT THEN relayed that your good friend knows way more about having fun than you do so you should just trust him for once?
VICTOR: I’ve made lots of bad decisions, yeah

[[alt-text: He had been to a machine that predicted his death. Receiving ‘SCALE,’ he kept himself trim and avoided shipyards and truckstops. And then, when Maurice entered the room with his large eel, his blood froze.]]

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!
