What is this “The Melinderly”?
The Melinderly is a quarterly comic (36-pages, full color) by Melinda Tracy Boyce containing exclusive comics that are a departure from her awesome daily diary comics.  These comics are longer autobiographical stories or fiction and will be delivered via mail.  

Raising money to print these is very ambitious.  Self-publishing color comics is practically unheard, especially at this frequency.  Melinda needs all the help she can get to begin this process.

FOR ONLY $10 (FREE SHIPPING) YOU CAN RECEIVE BEAUTIFUL FULL-COLOR ALTERNATIVE COMICS IN YOUR MAILBOX!

Reblogs, likes, tweets, blog posts, and facebook mentions are extremely helpful!  Please help any way you can!

I have created a Kickstarter to help fund my exciting new graphic novel “The City Troll”.

“The City Troll” is a 180-page black and white comic about a guy named Paul and his extreme self-hate.  He views himself as a creature he calls the city troll.  This graphic novel floats between a surreal world where Paul wallows in his own self pity and the real world where he tackles a love triangle, jealousy, his distancing relationship with his father and his confrontation with his abusive mother.

I have spent almost all my free time creating this book over the last year.  Although it is fiction it has really been an outlet to deal with my own self-image issues and relationships.  There is no way I could afford to print this on my own so I am counting on generous contributions from wonderful people like you.

RESERVE A COPY TODAY AND HELP FUND MY GRAPHIC NOVEL

If you can’t afford to support this project financially reblogging it or tweeting helps a great deal.

THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO LEARN ABOUT MY PROJECT.

“Dinosaur Underwear” - The Jellyfish Bandits

I want to lie next to you girl
in the summer’s air
claim this field as our own world
I’ll play with your hair
we can make a nest out of twine
where the birds can sing
and all the clocks and the deadlines
they won’t mean a thing

I want to lie next to you in the tall grass
your dinosaur underwear is hella badass
let’s hang off every word
until it’s absurd
like we’ve never heard
“love” before

you want to get a tattoo of a heart
to put on your sleeve
even though it’s cliche tattoo art
and on this midsummer’s eve
we will watch the clouds until night falls
then we’ll watch the stars
safe from all those stupid phone calls
and driving in cars

[chorus]

Can we just lie here naked (I want to lie next to you)
from time on this blanket (I want to lie next to you)
you are so beautiful (I want to lie next to you)
I can hardly take it (I want to lie next to you)

[chorus]

“Ghostical Love” - The Jellyfish Bandits

if tonight perchance I die
I hope that I
am a ghost undiminished
because I have business unfinished
my skin turns to indigo
I’ll watch you through your window
I hope you don’t think that’s creepy
it’s just that you complete me
you can see me in your dreams
fly over drive-in movie screens
call this cloud our meeting place
lie on our backs and stare through space

I can’t hold you
you just fall through

I know this isn’t right
I know that this is wrong
but would you just die?
come on hurry along
