[[Two men stand in front of a hole in the ground]]
Man 1: I can’t believe it! Finally finished! Twenty long years of sweat … but we’ve managed to actually dig a hole to China.

Man 2: Well, what now? What should we ask them? Do we trade flags or something?
Man 1: I guess let’s start with something simple.

Man 1: Helloooo! What’s the weather like over there?
Hole: We are bathing in the bile of tortured souls. It is our only respite from the constant, searing torment of the knowledge that love has abandoned us.

Man 2: Are you sure this tunnel goes to China?
Man 1: Do you have any cheap DVDs?
Hole: We’ll send some up.

20 years ago (in photocomic form)

June 9, 2026 by David Malki !

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!
