Michael Otis

Info


Age:	Between 25-30 (depends on definition)
Occupation:	Retired (or: Dryland ecologist / Book collector)

He is the last member of the so called "Palomino team" that is still fully functional (if you want to put it this way) - everyone else has either committed suicide or removed some of his/her higher functions. After the (quite profitable) lawsuit against Genesis he had chosen an exile in Death Valley and - more or less - found his peace there.

Author's note

I will no reveal any more here. To put it simple: A main part of this comic concentrates on his motivations, his capabilities - and his fate.

Chronology

Michael is one of the main characters of this story that appeared right from the beginning. Therefore he has undergone the most changes of all. Here is a timely reverse sorted collection of picture that match him best. (Click on an image for a larger version)

Initially this was just an experiment of a new technique. Then I used it for the (prelimary?) title page.

The first time I colorized Michael. This picture was used in the 4-1-2002 strip.
