I threw away most of my childhood today. I just could not stand the smell anymore. To dry out that half-mile of sodden eighties comics would have taken more out of my work week than I can spare... what with the jackhammers and all.
Jackhammer? Long story, entirely boring. Also unrelated to the flood but coincidental with it are sick kid and massive hate on for new project, basically, I could not deal with all this AND dry out my old original WATCHMEN and BAKER STREET and NEXUS and AKIKO and boo hoo hoo hoo. They just have to go.
I'm gonna try to dry out the good stuff that has never and will never be collected. The rest, I just have to Let Go. And that's the kind of thing you can only do when you've accumulated some life experience and some perspective and some wisdom. So now I am Old.
Anyone who tries to assure me I'm not, I will hit the shit out of you with Warren Ellis' cane, and you're damn right he'll loan it to me.

Hooray for the propellerheads. I found a spare keyboard wedged under the furnace. Since it's an old IBM and therefore built of stone and monkey sinew, it could not possibly care less that it was full of water.
My long comic boxes are another story entirely. Here's another reason not to print on newsprint: It sops up water faster than any other stock available. As I'm now discovering. It's definitely the quicker-picker-upper. Remember that scene at the end of BLADE RUNNER where Roy Batty's just running down like a dead battery? Yes, for much of my collection, it is... TIME. To DIE.
In the rain. Without pigeons.

I will be in New York for NYCC the weekend of April 18th. I won't have a table of my own, unfortunately, but I will be signing for Simon & Schuster and I will be doing a panel on adapting prose novels for comics.
I will ALSO be in Portland for the Stumptown Comicfest the weekend following, April 26th and 27th.
Wizard Chicago yes, Baltimore Comic-Con yes, APE yes. Not sure yet about Dragon Con, Paradise Con, or Motor City.
