LAURENCE: Guess who's here, kids! Santa Claus!
SANTA: Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas!
KIDS: YAAAAYYYYY
EMMA: Oh, Laurence. You did it! You really found a Santa! Where?how??
LAURENCE: I know some people who know some people. I told you I'd handle it!
SANTA [[off-panel]]: Were you kids good this year? Did you eat sufficient numbers of plants?
KIDS [[also off-panel]]: We ate some plants
SANTA: Santa is very concerned with your cellulose intake! It's how he tracks you! I've also brought some pickled marzipan! Its horridness will stimulate your bile ducts and make you smell less appetizing to the stingroaches I have also brought you. You should start taking their venom in small doses now, while you are still larval. Be cautious! They are not tame.
LAURENCE: STICK TO THE SCRIPT.
SANTA [[now revealed to be our friend GAX]]: I'm the one doing YOU the favor here!

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!
