Okay…I know there’s a lot of people who are wondering what the hell is happening with Utopia Theory. We are currently working on an animated short called “The Smoker”. The animation that we posted with Christopher Walken wasn’t intended to be funny…it was just intended to be animated. We hadn’t ever animated before, so we were getting our feet wet. “The Smoker” will likely be around 5 minutes long…maybe a little longer. At 29.97 frames per second, that’s a total of at least 8,891 frames. That’s a crapload of drawing! Please be patient and check back often for updates. We love you all…well…maybe not ALL, but we kind of like most of you!

Hey Everyone,
First and foremost, thank you for all of your support! We really appreciate it! We would like to inform you that we will not be posting any more Utopia Theory comic strips. We have made a decision to put our efforts towards animation instead of still comic strips. Our focus will be on character based animated shorts. We will make them available on this site, but it might be a little while before the first one is done. We will keep you posted, so please check back for updates!
Thanks,
Tom and Wes
P.S. To quote Chris Harding, “Once you do it frame by frame, you’ll never be the samey same.”
Hey Everyone!
We hate to have any sort of break in our “New Comics Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday” routine, but we will be unable to post any new comics this week. We will probably cycle an older comic onto the home page on Wednesday and another older comic on Friday. We have no plans of making this a regular event and we will be back to posting normally on Monday when we return from hunting cheetahs in Kazakhstan.
Thanks,
Tom and Wes
Hey Everyone!
We are excited to announce that Utopia Theory is now being published in a weekly paper called The Veritas. The Veritas is a small college paper for Bridgewater College in Bridgewater, Virginia. If you live around Bridgewater, you should check it out! It’s a cool little paper!

The site has been a little under the weather lately. We will be working day and night over the course of the next few weeks, so things might look a little out of sorts from time to time. Worry not…for we are Utopia Theory…Dedicated to the health of our web site. Daily blood pressure readings of the site are available by email request at bloodpressure@utopiatheory.com.

Utopia Theory is the brain child of Tom Duffy and Wes Hill. We are strange. Don’t bother trying to convince us otherwise. Every piece of art that we do is first hand drawn, then scanned. All of the image cleanup, color, and effects are added with the Gimp. Check out the Gimp at http://www.gimp.org. All works on this site are completely copyrighted. All rights reserved.
