What the f is an Eternal Tortoise or for that matter, a Small Comic?
Artistic creations by a bunch of dissatisfied, young people who have not yet come to terms with their unbearable memories of high school. Yes, you can join in on the great fun. This site is fueled mainly by the idea that art should be more community-based and not so stuck in individual aspirations. Unfortunately, because the people that run this site are anti-social, we’re having a hard time bringing that about. God Bless America.

Hi I’m Peter! I am the creator. No, not of the world, silly, of Eternal Tortoise! But enough laughs. Let’s get into my extensive autobiography. I started making weird websites when I was eight or nine, and for the most part they were pretty terrible. On my first site, I made a couple of point and click games made up of hundreds of separate pages, consisting of nothing more than links and gifs. My second venture was much more coherent, and mainly featured some experimental flash animations which I obsessed over. This is my new home, which for now only features webcomics.
theory on life after death: There’s NOTHING.

first existential realization of nothingness: Walking out of Joe’s Video to an empty parking lot.

“This is America” as Barack Obama has so wisely pointed out in one of his poignant speeches. Its true this is America, and I am an artist in America. In my early years, I was surrounded by artists. On one hand this persuaded me to learn to draw and paint. However, it also persuaded me to become an avid consumer of other’s artistic endeavours. Art of my own crafting was never my number one concern. This habit of mine is dying and I will be glad to share with you my blossoming dreams on ET.
theory on life after death: We manifest as humans, but our essence exists before, during, and after death.
scariest nightmare: A mentally ill man was in my room. He wanted to tell me something but could not find the words. He then screamed in agony. All I could do, was watch.
comics: Popeye, Krazy Ka, The Comic Book Biography of Barack Obama
celebrity lookalike: Richard Gere as Bob Dylan in “Im Not There.”
first existential realization of nothingness: The first time I heard my father sing to his cat.
