Comic description
The scintillating adventures of an alien, a redneck and a floating orb of death in the bucolic setting of fictional "Utopia Dell, Arizona." The strips currently running are all of the "classic Boritom" adventures from the strip's original run from 2000 to 2006. In all, there were about 325 strips, so I am currently updating 5 days a week in order to get people caught up. As we get closer to the "Big Day," where brand new strips start coming up, there will be lots of information and ballyhoo letting everyone know what to expect... to an extent. Spoilers, Doctor... Spoilers...
Once new strips start coming out, however, the updates will probably scale back to once or twice a week.

I actually started drawing Boritom back in the late 1990's while working in call centers. Occasionally, I post the old "strips" from that time on the site, but until about 1999, I had never posted them online. I started a Geocities account, and started posting the strips erratically for about a year.
Then, about 5 years later, I got serious about it and started drawing the strip regularly, and posting about 2 - 3 strips per week. From 2004 to 2006, I ended up posting over 300 strips. I stopped when readership dipped to about 5 viewers per day, mainly because I was prohibited from drawing or sketching at my desk at work between calls.
Now, I drive a cab, and I have more days off than before. If I can maintain at least 50 views per strip between now and the time I run out of the original run of strips, I will go back into drawing the strip with new storylines. I also wouldn't mind taking it to the next level with animated shorts on YouTube, or even pitching a series to [adult swim]. Lofty goals, I know, but if you're gonna dream, I say, "Dream Big!"
I am also an actor and musician, and I reside in Phoenix, AZ. I volunteer as a panel moderator at Phoenix ComicCon every year. I can also cook ;)
