tic toc tom started out in 1992 as a toronto mini-comic. it's creator, chetan patel , originally intended to produce just one issue. tic toc tom issue one was given away free of charge to friends of the artists and anyone who happened to be interested.
as it turned out, more people were interested than he thought. just a couple of months later, issue two hit the stands and was a immediate hit. from it's limited beginnings (tom was the guy who "blew things up"), the character has grown in both scope and depth as artists were given free reign over their personal interpretations of the character.
tom has appeared as a nihilist, a super being and of course a scarecrow. and these were not the only incarnations of the character to bloom.
eventually, certain aspects of the character became constants. his trademark welding goggles and ink black hair became the norm.
tic toc tom; the book, would eventually open itself up to submissions by the strange, faceless buyers it enthralled. submissions by fans ranging in age from seven on up to the thirties. each adding perspectives which were new and alive with creativity.
