Comic Transcripts

CARLOS: Behold our interstellar nebula cruiser!
ANDY: It seems a lot, uh, smaller than I expected.

CARLOS: When we enter the cruiser, we exchange our mass for energy.
CARLOS: It requires extraordinary power to propel an object of great mass across the galaxy! So we convert much of the matter to energy and store it in compact batteries.

ANDY: So it’s like zipping a file for email?
CARLOS: Whatever that means! The matter is reconverted upon arrival at our destination.

ANDY: But isn’t some of that energy expended during the trip?
CARLOS: Well, yes. When we left Mexico we were eleven feet tall.

20 years ago (in photocomic form)

June 9, 2026 by David Malki !
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!
