[[A man and a woman are conferring at a party]]
Man: Do you recognize anybody?
Woman: Nope.
Man: Are you sure this is the right house?
Woman: Not anymore.
Man: Why do people keep talking about a "sun god"?
Woman: I think this might be a cult.
Man: Great. I'm ready to go.
Woman: Sounds good.
Voice off-panel: Just got a text from the Sun God! Somebody pull out the amp, 'cause he's bringing his ASTRO BASS!
Man: ...five more minutes?
Woman: Let's say ten.

The amp for the Astro Bass goes past 11 all the way to 42.
This comic is by Zachary Sigelko, my collaborator in both the party hit of the summer and various other Wondermark projects. Zach worked in my office here in L.A. until recently moving to Chicago to pursue some kind of dream or other. On his last day in the office (a day I was out of town), on my list of tasks for him was “create a comic.” When I returned, this was on my computer!
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!
