[[An excited-looking man carrying a sack of money approaches a salesman with a large head, who is grinning smugly and gesturing to a creature. The creature is like a small boy, with the head of a duck, bill wide open, and a small top hat.]]
Man: You say you've cracked the secret to time travel?
Salesman: Yes! Just picture a point in time you'd like to visit in your head...
[[The salesman looks at the duck and his head seems to grow larger. The man blanches.]]
Salesman: ...then French kiss this duck and poof! You transport to your destination!
[[The man looks suspicious. The salesman's head grows even larger - it is now perhaps 1.5x taller than the man's. He looks very angry and his mouth grows into a huge, gaping frown - he could easily swallow the other man's head.]]
Man: ...
Salesman: What. What's the matter.
[[The salesman's head is now extremely large, easily twice the width and height of the other man's head. He shouts after the man, who has left, spit flying from his mouth. The duck-creature is confused.]]
Salesman: WHERE ARE YOU GOING.

The final GCOAT comes courtesy of KC Green, whose stylings longtime readers will recognize. KC is the author of many comics including Gunshow, which is one of the funniest, strangest and occasionally grossest comics around. (Warning, Mom, it’s sometimes gross.) I also conducted an interview with KC recently for the TopatoBlog! I guess I did one with Chris Hastings too and forgot to mention it earlier.
KC has a new book up for pre-order now called The Blood Cloud and I suggest you get it. I have his previous volume, and I could read that thing all dang day. KC has a peculiar mastery over awkward glares, which are a fascinating recurring theme in his work.
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!
