[[Scene inside a donut shop: A rather large Head Baker stares in shock at an airplane-shaped piece of bread held by the Baker]]
Head Baker: What are you DOING? You're supposed to be making the DONUTS! Not PLAYING AROUND with the dough!
Baker: But look! I gave it little wings!
Baker: It's like an airplane! A doughplane!
[[Customer approaches the counter]]
Head Baker: LISTEN to me. We are on an EXTREMELY tight budget. You cannot be WASTING dough on DOUGHPLANES. Do you HEAR me?
Head Baker: I can't believe I even have to EXPLAIN this to you!
Customer: Hey, is that an airplane donut? Ha ha! Adorable!
[[Awkward pause]]
[[Outside the shop: DONUTS sign hastily covered by a plank with a new sign]]
Sign: Doughplanes and other aviation-themed pastries
Additional window sign: NEW!
[[Bonus panel: a poster for Doughplanes! with a female baker holding an airplane-shaped piece of bread and the silhouette of an airplane in the background]]
Baker: You are cleared for sprinkles!

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!
