ELLEN: Hey. Come help me wash the car?
NABIL: WASHING the CAR! How DECADENT! So GREAT that you have NO more pressing problems than making sure your GIANT OPTIONAL MACHINE is free of SPECKS of DUST!
NABIL: Meanwhile I have SEVERE BIOLOGICAL IMPERATIVES to contend with. I don't have the luxury of having everything below "car" on the hierarchy of needs taken care of. I'm HUNGRY. I'm COLD. I'm TIRED. I have to go to the BATHROOM. Please, allow me to address my body's needs before I help with your ego's.
NABIL [[leaving]]: HMPF!

ELLEN: ?and when I finally found him, he'd fallen asleep on the toilet with his teeth still stuck in a turkey leg!
NABIL: Oh for crying out loud THIS STORY AGAIN

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!
