Comic Transcripts

KEITH: I can’t find my camera.
JEFF: Well, when did you last use it?

KEITH: I was nineteen years old. Road trip through the great West. The promise of the rest of my life ahead of me. No dream too big, no goal too impossible.

KEITH: Billy swerved to avoid hitting a coyote and ran the Chevelle off the road. Great plumes of dust, lit red by the setting sun. We never saw the hill. We never saw the cliff.

JEFF: That was the last time you used your camera?
KEITH: Oh, I thought you said, “When was the last time you remember being young?”

{{alt-text: But my camera — why, I used it just this morning to take pictures of my ear hair! THAT’S where I left it. In the toilet.}}

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!
