GREGG: This will not stand! Got to take care of this!

GREGG [[walking away with a can of paint and a roller]]: There. MUCH better!

[[We see that he has simply painted over the tag, and “POOP” is just as visible in Gregg’s touchup work.]]

20 years ago (in photocomic form)

June 9, 2026 by David Malki !

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!
