About Me

Grrl Fair 2007
Melina Mena finds happiness through lonely activity. To this end, she has taken up cartooning--producing mini-comics and comic strips under the shared name of "Sour Milk Sea." Her comics, which involve robots and toasters, ragdolls and nerds, make her giggle; they seem to make others giggle too, but in a hundred years we'll all be dead, so who cares . . . ha ha ha!

This is what one reader had to say about Sour Milk Sea:
Dear Sourmilksea,I'm an avid reader of the New U, and each week I need to scratch my eyes in pain and bewilderment from "reading" the sourseamilk comic. . . [Your comic] represents no intent for anything other then stupidity. . . I wish I had a bunch of New U issues to point out the waste of space your comic poses to this otherwise above average publication. Either take a stance on an issue, make a joke ( a funny one, look up humor in the dictionary if you need to), or just doodle on your notebook in class...Stop this Nonsense!

My Interests

(i)shopping at the seaside swapmeet, (ii)kicking the Toaster, (iii)going to the drive-in, (iv)reading comic books, (v)driving my sweet car, (vi)eating peaches, (v)kicking the Toaster.

Music:

I come from a long line of musicans . . . my great-grandpaw was a Victrola Gramophone. He was accidentally sold at the last neighborhood garage sale for $5.

Movies:

One time the Toaster tried to get fresh with me at the movies, so I kicked him. Then I ate his popcorn.

Television:

One time I went on a blind date with a television. The date didn't go so well because there weren't any good programs on.
