Tell us your story:

In the small midwestern village of Omaha, I was born holding a black pen, demanding paper to draw on. Since then my time on Earth has been spent telling stories through pictures, one at a time and twenty-four per second.
In my travels I collected a female companion and we produced three smaller beings similar in appearance to ourselves.
It is a fascinating planet, this Earth. We shall stay for some time and enjoy the bounty of your organic markets and high-speed internet.
