I’m Cory Thomas, an artist and bikini mud wrestler based in Atlanta, Georgia. I spent my deformative years in Trinidad, a small island nation famous for its giant, laser-toting robots and the Annual World Championships of Monkey Kickboxing.
Substituting comic books for friends, I got pretty good at drawing and loneliness. Soon I was one of the top six-year-olds in my field with the introduction of my ground-breaking ‘Comet Cat’ comic series that could be found on crumpled notebook paper in garbage cans everywhere.
One day, I folded myself into a crate of used tires and stowed away to the United States , where I pretended to study at Howard University. That was where Watch Your Head began as a sort of weekly feature for the school paper.
In 2006, WYH became a real live grown up comic strip. It appeared daily in a bunch of newspapers to absolutely no acclaim whatsoever. In 2014, I ended the strip’s newspaper run as well as my marriage of convenience to Piper Laurie. Now I’m webcomicking, illustrating and graphic designing all over the place. Yay.
