Comic Transcripts

Newscaster: An independent study revealed that the so-called “gorilla skull” wine bottles so heavily advertised during the Super Bowl are actually made NOT out of gorilla skulls, but in fact the blended bones of rats, squirrels, possums, and even skunks.

Crandall: I didn’t mean to mislead anyone! I thought it would be obvious in the commercial that I was using the term “gorilla skull” to refer to a trademarked blend of small mammal bones. Nobody thinks Gorilla Glue is actually made of GORILLAS.

Newscaster: It was also discovered that the wine, labeled prominently as “100% mayonnaise free,” actually consists of nearly THIRTY PERCENT Entemann’s mayonnaise.

Crandall: As soon as I had the labels printed I knew it was just a matter of time before I sabotaged myself.

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.
