BuzzComix seems to be having some difficulty connecting to its database this morning, but in the off-handed case it returns to us soon, do me a solid and vote for Theater Hopper, would you? The top list recently reset and we have a little leg-work to do before we reach the upper echelons again. Did you know we placed number three last month? That’s a record for us!
Anyway, I’ve slapped this little reminder on the front page for the time being, mostly because I’m trying to find a way to stretch out some content!
I know the third panel in today’s comic is particularly repulsive because it’s been battle-tested and market researched by my closest accomplice, Cami. I showed it to her while she was eating her Rice Krispies, and let’s just say she had some trouble finishing for a minute or two.
The idea for today’s strip pretty much came to me after I realized that I had kept Tom in the Spider-Man mask all of last week. In the movies, it looks like the Spider-Man costume is made out of some kind of Body Glove wet suit material. I don’t imagine that “breathes” very well. Anyhow, figuring “Comic Tom” wouldn’t have the sense to take off the mask combined with “Real World Tom’s” propensity for sugary snacks led me to the ultimate conclusion.
Switching gears now, I should probably notify you that I am sitting on some bomb-shell information relating to the comic. Don’t worry. It’s nothing bad. But I’m keeping it under my hat today since the comic was already late. Come back to this space on Wednesday and prepare to have your world blown apart!
Am I building things up enough for you? 😉
Hey, you have the day off, don’t you? Why don’t you sign up for the THorum and say “Hi” to all the cool people that inhabit our little sanctuary?

I felt kind of bad not having much for you in the blog department, so I decided to share an image of myself that I Photoshopped onto Tobey Maguire’s body in Spider-Man 2.
Actually, it’s my current webcam image. Did you know the THorum has a webcam portal? We do. And incidentally, if you want to see an archive of all my old webcam pictures, you can find them on the Bonus Materials page. There’s about 150 of them and there are a few fun pics in the bunch.
Oh, and it would appear buzzComix is up and running again. Today’s incentive sketch? A holdover from the fourth of July – Captain America.

I know I mentioned some big new in my earlier blog. Well, this isn’t it. But it is AS EQUALLY big!
Taking a page from my playbook, Cami teased the THorumites with the prospect of a special surprise. Today, we’re ready to announce it!
After watching my piece of original art fly out the door last week, Cami took it upon herself to use her creative skills to produce two, HAND-MADE ORIGINAL Theater Hopper dolls! Representing Tom and Cami in their full, felt glory – each doll is approximately 14″ tall and is ready to go home with you!
To improve your chances of getting your hands on these one-of-a-kind collectors items, we are selling the two dolls seperately. If you’re desperate to own both as a set, well, it’ll be a blood-thirsty bidding war that we will all watch with breathless anticipation!

I can not underestimate how unique these dolls are. They will become the envy of Theater Hopper fans everywhere. Imagine! Theater Hopper dolls! Made in our house, by Cami sitting next to your computer. Smiling benevolently as if to say “Good purchase, friend.”
The auction will end next Monday the 12th. Until then, take back your aluminum cans and check the couch cushions for spare change. You’ll need every red cent you can get your hands on to make sure you walk away with these one-of-a-kind dolls!
You may now go back to breathing regularly. 😉
