[[MANDY and her father see what appears to be a puppy's hindquarters sticking out from behind a fence.]]
MANDY: Aw, lookit the puppy!
Let's pet the little puppy!
FATHER: No! Mandy, that's not a puppy.
That...is MR. MEANSCARY.
MANDY: It looks like a puppy butt!
FATHER: Mr. Meanscary is a murderous goblin that DISGUISES itself as a puppy butt to lure in children.
MANDY: What does he DO to children?
FATHER: Well, how do you think he got the NAME?
He's the MEANEST goblin around! The SCARIEST monster in the whole world!
And he's just WAITING for children to pet his puppy butt so he can BURN them alive and EAT THEIR ROASTED SKIN!
[[MR. MEANSCARY steps away from the fence.]]
MR. MEANSCARY: For your INFORMATION, my GRANDFATHER CHOSE this name on ELLIS ISLAND!

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!
