A 4-panel comic. I'm dressing up my 3yo daughter to go outside. As I'm doing so, she says "Logan's name starts with an N!" So I reply "No, it's a L." She insists: "No, it's an N." I say "Logan starts with L." She shouts: "IT'S AN N!!!" So I reply on a firmer tone: "Annette, you have two Ns in your name". Finally she starts crying and yells "IT STARTS WITH N WAAAAAAAH" And I say, also louder, "I'M NOT LETTING YOU WIN THIS ONE"

I do not expect everyone who comes to my table to buy something. You don’t gotta tell the creators you have no money, they also have no money. You can just make eye contact, tell them you really like their work and subscribe to their newsletter. That goes a long long way!

A 4-panel comic. I'm brushing my teeth. My husband's hands are wet and he grabs a towel to dry them, saying "Ugh it's so annoying to get your hands wet every time you brush your teeth." I stop brushing and turn toward him, replying "How do you even...? I'm confused." He says "Don't you? How do you NOT get your hands wet when rinsing your toothbrush?" I demonstrate as I wet just the bristles and not the handle, thus keeping my hand dry.

Am I not using the toothbrush as intended?

A 4-panel comic titled "Must be expensive". I live near a mall. One day, a new small shop opened. The shop name, in 3D, is spelled 'nol' in lowercase. Because of the font choice, I wasn't sure what exactly I was reading. NoL? NoÏ (with a capital i)? Number 1? Eventually, they added another letter to the brand name, spelling "nola". And then the week after, the shop had a new name: "noon". I'm confused.

Hey, a new comic! I wonder how much money went into the rebranding.

A 4-panel comic. I come across a suspicious looking half-wall thing. As I sit on it and straddle to move forward, I end up at the end and it's just a very long toilet. The 4th panel is me waking up at night, and doing complexe algebra math trying to understand what the dream was about.

A 4-panel comic. There was a small book fair at my oldest daughter Margot's elementary school. As I browse the books laid out on the tables, I find some of the kids' books I illustrated. Thinking to myself that it's cool they are there, a kid I don't know shows up and grabs one of my books and says "HEY DAD! We can finally get Margot's mom's books!" My daughter arrives and starts suggesting my books to her friends-- "If you buy these, my mom can draw in them for you!" So I end up sitting at one of the tables, signing books for the other parents, thinking "How did this happen...?"

A 4-panel comic. I'm tabling at Expozine with my friend Yann. A customer comes by and buys one of my books, and she tells me "I love your work! Can't wait to see what's next!" I thank her, but then she adds "I wish the both of you and your children the best!" She leaves. Yann pulls out a notepad and the page says "Pierre-Luc Counter: I I". Pierre-Luc is my husband.
