New Email Address
08.23.10
Please note that my old email address, drewm@nyc.rr.com, doesn't work anymore. Spammers, I invite you to send many, many emails to that address.
Everyone else, if you need to get a hold of me, be advised that I only check the email address attached to this website about once a week. If you need to get a hold of me faster than that, you will need to intuit the super-secret, spam-proof new way to email Drew at drewmelbourne.com.
Hint, hint.
Last Day in New York
08.21.10
So today's the day that I finally cleaned out my New York apartment.
(Or, to be more accurate, I paid large men to do this work for me. This was money well spent. It took them two hours to do what it would have taken me weeks to do on my own.)
Pictures and recollections after the break...

How to Eat Cereal
08.18.10
One of the ways in which I am horribly dysfunctional awesome is that I refuse to pour milk on my cereal. Instead, I drink my milk from a glass (shocking!) and eat my cereal dry from the bowl (the horror!). And though I stand at odds with 99% of the Earth's cereal-eating population in this regard, as well as tens of thousands of years of high-specialized, breakfast-related evolution, I'm pretty sure that I'm right on this and you're all wrong.
THE EVIDENCE
My long study of cereals leads me to believe that, deep down, no one really likes pouring milk on their cereal. How do I know this? Consider:

The Mosque Thing

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you hallowed ground:
(Image lifted from Google Maps.)
Yes, today we rant about the hue and cry over the so-called "World Trade Center Mosque." But first, a life lesson:
One of the things that frustrates me about morally repugnant idiots is that they tend to be wrong about a number of things at once. You see, if you're wrong about one thing, I can easily, clearly explain why you're wrong. If you're wrong about a number of things, I have to keep stopping my explanation to go off on all these little side tangents of stop-being-an-idiot-ness.
It's tiring, and it usually ends with the morally repugnant idiot just as confused/wrong/repugnant as he/she/vommit was to begin with.
So let's start broadly:

New Comics Thing

Here's the first image for the new comic I'm putting together. The project is called Partners in Crime-Fighting, and this is the cover to issue one:
I'll be wondering around SDCC with the complete pitch this weekend.
Comic-Con 2010
07.19.10
Three quick updates:
- I will be at San Diego this weekend, Friday through Sunday. (This year's theme: "Return from the Wilderness*.")
- If you are trying to reach me, please be advised that my old Roadrunner account is being unplugged, but you can still reach me by using [anything] @ drewmelbourne.com.
- Obligatory third thing, because three things is funnier.
Annnnnnnd on a tenuously related note, for anyone who checks out this website from time to time, you will have noticed a dearth of updates. I'll occasionally go on a twitter-binge, but the truth is that I've been spending most of my time focused on:
Now that #1 is in good shape and going out to publishers and #2 is humming along for an approximate 2017 2018 2019 release, I suspect there may be time for the occasional old school silliness like this.
*And a bonus Spotter's Guide: At the moment, I look something like this:
