ANDREW [[petting his cat]]: Whoozums loves me? WHOOZUMS loves me? Lookit that little face. Lookit that little smile!
DEB: That's just the shape of her mouth. Cats can't actually smile.
ANDREW: Dat's okay. Dat's okay that a Wiggles can't actually smile. I know she loves me yes she does!
DEB: How do you know? All you have to go on are anthropomorphized cues. She seems affectionate, she seems friendly, but she is an animal and likely does not understand the concept of love as humans define it.
ANDREW: You said it - she ACTS affectionate and friendly, and I'm satisfied with that. However, her cashew-sized cat brain may be conceptualizing the situation as immaterial, since our existing relationship is perfectly serviceable. Functionally, she loves me!
WIGGLES [[the cat, thinking]]: Man, this reverse-psychology approach is getting me nowhere

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!
