[[This comic is hand-drawn. A knight wanders anxiously through a cave, carrying a torch and a sword. He passes a skeleton bound to the wall.]]
[[A minotaur emerges from the side. The knight is frightened.]]
Knight: Oh no! A half-man, half-bull monster!
[[The minotaur turns in fear. A shadow rises up behind him.]]
Minotaur: W-where?!
[[The knight runs. The minotaur runs behind him, looking back at a disgusting creature with a human face, bull horns, a vaguely human/bull body, and a bull's tail.]]

This is not a guest comic! East Coast weather has played havoc with the airlines, so a weekend trip to Massachusetts has unexpectedly turned into a week, and I’m still not at home where I can access my computer. Left without my database of weird images, my choices were to scour the web for something usable to make a comic…or do something a little more fun. I’m staying with Jeffrey Rowland at the moment, and while he doesn’t have shelves full of Victorian books like I do, he most certainly does have art supplies and a scanner. So I drew and colored this comic for you! I’m sure our regular players are fervently hoping that this mysterious new character doesn’t find his way back into the normal strips…but who knows?
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!
