ABOUT THE LOST CACTUS COMIC STRIP: The Lost Cactus National Laboratory and Testing Facility - the namesake of the comic strip - evokes the intrigue of Area-51, with its sun-faded structures, Quonset huts, and hangars set against a colorful Southwestern desert landscape. The heart and soul of the comic strip's cast are the spunky Bentley the Bee and his quick-witted sidekick, Ty the Dinosaur. They are both genetic mutants created in the laboratory of Doc, the mysterious scientist and founder of Lost Cactus. General Fox is the befuddled base administrator; Penny is the all-too-popular Chief Medical Officer, and Professor Otto is the eccentric base psychiatrist. Sammy is an accident-prone ground squirrel who owes his anthropomorphic traits to an irradiated acorn. Cato the Alien is Doc's out-of-this-world science advisor. A panoply of lab rats, clone zombies, cacti, lizards, celebrities, and politicians make guest appearances throughout the strips. John Hopkins' distinctly original perspective on ever-evolving technologies, current events, and pop culture - blended with his keen interest in science fiction, conspiracy theories, paranormal, and urban myths - provide the grist for the comic strips, stories, and essays that are Lost Cactus. So sit back and enjoy your trip to Lost Cactus, and if you feel compelled to don a tinfoil hat, don't worry, you won't be the first.
