It’s guest week! Today’s comic is by Angela Melick of the charming and colorful comic Wasted Talent. Elements of her guest comic were inspired by my oft-recounted adventures in Baltimore. Oh, Baltimore! Your avenues, your customs, your people. I hope to never see any of them again.
Also check out larger versions of Angela’s drawings at her LiveJournal!
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!
